Disk spindown timer in Daemon not working

I've just tried the new Daemon for the first time. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the disk spindown timer to work at all.

While I can manually put all drives in my setup into standby with hdparm -y /dev/sd*, they just keep spinning after the 10 minutes set in the Snapraid Daemon UI have passed.

Does the daemon need another dependency besides hdparm for this to work?

Can't access SnapRAID UI even though daemon is running

I've just installed the new SnapRAID Daemon for the first time but can't seem to access the web UI, even though the deamon seems to be running:

I've tried both using http://localhost:7627 as well as calling the local ip directly http://192.168.2.115:7627. The CLI and daemon are running on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 26.04.

Run 26.04 server from eMMC and limit write processes?

I'm looking to run Ubuntu server 26.04 from eMMC storage on a x64 soc setup. To prolong the life of the installed eMMC module, I'd like to limit write processes and have the system run in ram.

What's the most easiest way to limit writes, yet save log files and stuff on a periodical basis and on shutdowns?

I've got a a MacBook Air (2019, 13" Retina) as a sparely used backup notebook with only 32 charging cycles. According to the macOS systems dialog the battery is in "Good" condition.

However, the notebook looses around 8% of battery capacity every single day, even when the system is completely shut down (none of the connected standby stuff).

How's that possible? All prior MacBooks I've used in the past had excellent battery life and would work even after weeks of just sitting turned off in a drawer.
