There is no way it could be statehood, it'd put another California-sized electoral voting block on the table. Despite claims of "51st state", it'd be annexed into a territory. If he wants another star on the flag he's going to want a much less populus group of freshly furious voters.
I had a similar revelation. Home assistant has a WOL component, so you can set that up for easy starts. I've had mixed success with mechanisms to get HA to sleep the computer, though.
Ideally I want the machine to be sleeping I'd I'm not using it.
I'd never looked at them before, but yeah that super flower super modular supply looks pretty sweet. It looks like it has a ton of ports that I assume can be wired up as whatever you need.
For me, the splitters were just generic: they plug to an existing molex out connector and give you 5 SATAs on a ribbon.
https://a.co/d/gXtQ3Qp is what I'd bought, just for reference. The power supply I used them with wasn't modular (ancient) and so whatever it had was what there was.
Maybe I misread, but if you are planning on having two different PSUs in play for the same system, it's my understanding that it's important to make sure the DC outputs share a common ground, which might be a little extra wiring.
BC and AB actually have identical support for the provincial NDP parties, believe it or not. Statistically speaking, vandalizing a BC or AB plate comes with identical statistical likelihood of vandalizing an NDP voter.
I think you're missing the sheer scale of production capacity, and severely underestimateing how it actually makes the primary issue (logistics) so much worse. Refinement turns the raw inputs into MANY output products, and you can't mix them, so suddenly you have the same volume of products, but suddenly you need even more complex logistical frameworks to move them. The suggestion of putting refineries in AB when we're already bottlenecked is the industrial equivalent of hiring a pro athlete to teach a newborn infant to run. There isn't a conspiracy as to why refineries are all geographically positioned for maximal logistical efficiency: they're extremely sensitive to logistics.
If we were going to put a refinery anywhere, it should be in BC. If they're more comfortable putting other refined petroleum products on ships, sweet. The construction is big money infused into the economy, so is the operation. So is the increased shipping activity.
Like, Canada is one country, and now more than ever it HAS to be operating at the national level of economic interests. Canada HAS to integrate it's energy with the rest of the world.
All AB has ever wanted is scaled access to global markets. Canada gets hosed on oil prices because the US is the only meaningful importer and they know we can't move it to other markets. They'll always be in the prime negotiation position as long as they're the only material customer.
Canada (as a federal unit) has pretty desperately been trying to allow itself to trade oil on the global stage, but the infrastructure to allow that just isn't there. To get meaningful quantities to Canadian ports required pipelines through to the west coast, and that was politically unpalatable to the people living there.
Really sucks that Canada just plainly didn't build the infrastructure to expand to global markets. Most intercontinental trade of Canadian petroleum is via Florida. It'd be great if Canada could flood the European and Asian markets to kneecap Russias war machine funding. But the infrastructure isn't there.
Depending on how power hungry the drives are, and if your PSU has enough spare power, you can get cable splitters. I had some spare molex ports which I plugged a cable from Amazon that split it into 5 SATA power connectors.
You don't want to infinitely split cables though, as tempting as that can be, because there are real electrical limits to doing that. Also just because a power supply is rated at X watts, that's the total. Hard drives will use the 5V and 12V rails and usually there are individual limits on each rail.
Upgrading the PSU is another option. Probably the cleanest easiest best solution IMO. But even then, you probably can't find a PSU that'll give you 12 SATA connectors out of the box so you'll probably need some splitters in there anyways.
In my case specifically, I've actually got a second power supply (because i already had it and it was otherwise just gathering dust) powering the extra drives. It's a bit more complicated to get set up but, it's an option as well.
Edit: also if you're asking yourself where can you physically PUT the drives, I 3D printed these and slapped some fans on them:
I don't think it's a cheap pivot at all. If you want to say "look at all these places where the people there wanted freedom!" While completely ignoring that they were violently surpressing those same scenarios within their own annexed territories? That's just willful blindness.
