Moving/copying/reading/deleting tonnes of tiny files isn’t significantly faster on an ssd because the requirements for doing so are not limited by HDDs in the first place.

You mean the physical actuator moving a read/write head over a spinning platter? Which limits its traversal speed over its physical media? Which severely hampers its ability to read data from random locations?

You mean that kind of limitation? The kind of limitation that is A core part of how a hard drive works?

That?

I would highly recommend that you learn what a hard drive is before you start commenting about its its performance characteristics. 🤦🤦🤦

For everyone else in the thread, remember that arguing with an idiot is always a losing battle because they will drag you down to their level and win with experience.

This is like asking for a source for common sense statements.

HDDs are pretty terrible at random IO, which is what reading many small files tends to be. This is because they have a literal mechanical arm with a tiny magnet on the end that needs to move around to read sectors on a spinning platter. The physical limitations of how quickly the read right head can traverse limits it’s random I/O capabilities.

This makes hard drives, abysmal, at random I/O. And why defragmenting is a thing.

This is common knowledge for anyone in it and easy knowledge to obtain by reading a Wikipedia page.

SSDs are great at random I/O. They do not have physical components that need to move in order to read from random locations they generally perform equally as well from reading any location. Meaning their random I/O capabilities are significantly better.

If we had control over the weak force:

• We can likely turn elements into other elements at will
• We can manufacture safe decay sources for a new class of nuclear energy
• We can probably create safe “decay batteries” tuned to their specific use cases. Batteries that last for tens of thousands the lifespan of current chemical ones.
• Potentially engineer with neutrinos. Imagine communication via neutrinos, you could transmit straight through the earth.

I mean, with control over matter like that, at the scale of electricity, Star Trek matter replicators would be a thing.

These are all holes in the Swiss cheese model.

Just because you and I cannot immediately consider ways of exploiting these vulnerabilities doesn’t mean they don’t exist or are not already in use (Including other endpoints of vulnerabilities not listed)

This is one of the biggest mindset gaps that exist in technology, which tends to result in a whole internet filled with exploitable services and devices. Which are more often than not used as proxies for crime or traffic, and not directly exploited.

Meaning that unless you have incredibly robust network traffic analysis, you won’t notice a thing.

There are so many sonarr and similar instances out there with minor vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild because of the same"Well, what can someone do with these vulnerabilities anyways" mindset. Turns out all it takes is a common deployment misconfiguration in several seedbox providers to turn it into an RCE, which wouldn’t have been possible if the vulnerability was patched.

Which is just holes in the swiss cheese model lining up. Something as simple as allowing an admin user access to their own password when they are logged in enables an entirely separate class of attacks. Excused because “If they’re already logged in, they know the password”. Well, not of there’s another vulnerability with authentication…

See how that works?

Someone doesn’t necessarily have to brute Force a login if they know about pre-existing vulnerabilities, that may be exploited in unexpected ways

Fail2ban isn’t going to help you when jellyfin has vulnerable endpoints that need no authentication at all.

Jellyfin has a whole host of unresolved and unmitigated security vulnerabilities that make exposing it to the internet. A pretty poor choice.
