Is SHA256 a good step-up to guarantee 'correct data' over fletcher4,
or it's only marginally better in real life ?
The checksum is only used to verify that the data is correct (and not
to try to correct it) so fletcher4 is fine. The sha256 algorithm does

Hi,
I'm atmost ready to deploy my new homeserver for final testing.

The default is fletcher4. there's also SHA256
Now the sha256 is pretty 'heavy' to calculate
