Well, if you’re storing data you care about on your server you kind of need to have redundancy. The best filesystem for that (imo) is ZFS so yes, you should use that (or something similar). Apparently you do use a “scalable storage solution” but you also seem fond of mystery.

If one of the raidz drives is removed from the array, and you’re not encrypting your datasets, someone could recover data from the drive.

The solution is in the question. Just encrypt the dataset.

If you’re using a raidz array (which you should) the data would be irrecoverable anyways when you dispose of a single drive, wouldn’t it? Also, why would you throw away a server drive that still works?

Does that matter if you’re self hosting and not exposing it to the internet?

That’s a bit odd considering how much more popular Immich is, but ok.

I’m shocked, flabbergasted even.

Any reason to pick this over Immich?

There’s a pretty big difference between reasonable difficulty and no difficulty.

You think this id a good number? One of the reasons Sony dropped Kojima is supposedly that DS2 “only” sold 2M.

Why not both?

Ideally more than what they made.

This should be illegal and they should be required to pay a large fine. Disinformation is not a minor crime imo.
