   @srol most SD cards are designed for very few writes and lots and lots of reads, because they're typically used for cameras and stuff like that

   sometimes write-heavy usage can cause corruption; for example a while back I ran a pleroma (times were different back then) on an SD card and pleroma writes a *ton* to the database, just all the time, constantly

   anyway this caused some pretty bad crashes

   there are higher-quality "application class" SD cards which aren't as bad as the normal type, but the EMMC will be more reliable in the long run

     @srol if this is just like ... a for-funsies thing, maybe leave it on the SD card until you start to notice crashes, and then spend the time make the switch? just make sure you back up anything you'd be sad to lose
