  • I'd consolidate to let it pay for itself over the longer term in electricity savings.

    My single NAS runs everything I could ever want, though I regret not finding a used 6700k, finding out teh 6600k didn't have HT.

    Also, I run frigate on it inside a container and use a Google Coral Accellerator to people-detection from 4x2k camera streams. Its pretty swish, though it took some fiddling to get the kernel to be groovy with it and do container-device passthru from PCI-e.

    In total, my single NAS runs the following in containers:

    • Personal projects
    • Home Assistant
    • MQTT for Tasmota
    • Game servers
    • Deluge for yarr harr fiddly dee
    • Frigate NVR

    The whole shebang, NAS with permanently spinning rust, UPS, ISP Modem and Ubiquity Dream Machine run ~100W.

    Edit: I've noticed ZFS is twitchier than most about disks failing. It fails disks about once or twice a year, which are getting cheaper every year. Most of the time the disk still works as far as SMART is concerned, but I'm not gonna question the ZFS gods.

  • Can you just put stock ubuntu on it? Is the CPU worth a damn?

    If it can't do either of those, it is manufactured ewaste, imo.

  • Don't buy a synology. For less money you can make a better system. I use a cheap itx board, a used 6600k, Silverstone DS380 and 8x4TB disks of spinning rust and a 256G NVME as my current iteration of my NAS. its basically silent, and runs ubuntu + zfs + shit in containers. Its excellent.

    I am however considering 10G ethernet cards for it and my desktop and just doing point-to-point. Not that 1G is too slow for my needs, but because it'd be fun.

  • I don't want to carry around more shit and it makes payment faster and less fucking about.

    Also if I lose it I don't lose all my money.

  • ...? Do you not just log in?

  • I live in the eurozone, and I don't even know what euro cash looks like.

  • That would be delightful

  • That I have any sort of meaningful future or purpose ahead of me.

  • You absolutely do. If I see my own countries flag on a car, I assume they're into football, beer and being a racist piece of shit towards the polish and the pakistani people who sell them the beer and the kebabs they subsist on.

    A pidgeon-hole forms, and is immediately stuffed to the brim with gammon.

  • What the fuck are you talking about, Jesse.

  • Man with the meme after my own heart there.

  • This was funnier and truer when it was furries. The autism goes without saying.

  • In the same vein as "States rights to do what?", I want to ask: Free speech to say what?

  • I mean, this is why my NAS is just ubuntu and zfs and garden variety docker.

  • I live in a foreign country. The translation feature is worth it to me. Annoyed its behind a paywall.

  • She got bored of me, cheated, gaslit me and made me feel like I was treading on egg shells for 12 months and then we split up.

    She'd have had permission if she had asked.

  • I miss cars being friendshaped.

  • I'm already in the middle of that. Everything non-public-facing is going to cheap lease boxes running workloads in docker. idgaf if the machine underneath lives or dies, its 3 lines of config in a terraform script to replace.

  • Anything that is "cheap" to do on serverless is cheaper to do on a $5 droplet, especially once it starts to grow.

    Serverless gets you to buy in to a vendors lock-in.
