So… antidepressants++?

I’m already on the worse version of this. Gimmie gimmie. I’d like to lie to myself that I am ok for a while.

On fire is a good start

On fire and soaked in piss is better

From what I’ve heard, US tests are super easy.

28.3168 liters of piss, addressed to Margret Thatcher.

In the Netherlands, its gotta be Urk.

I like others have been to the peak of Urk and not been stabbed.

Tried to crash my car into a bridge stanchion, chickened out, tore the mirror off.

Where is all this free real estate you’re talking of.

Went swarm instead. I dont need a department of k8s consultants.

It often is.

4GB if the sender was premium, which they will be.

I don’t care if its 720p if it just works.

Banned for being too fun

Good enough to make some of my friends depressed because they cant pass as easilly as they do

Piracy tho. I can go to my telegram, search a movie title and click play and it just works.

relatedly, I used to use a 4x bay USB3 caddy for some disks… It was OK, but didn’t expose the raw disks and the controller was pretty fucky swallowing things like SMART.

It and some other network appliance bits draw ~ 100W continuous.

I think a good chunk of that is the disks, but I could be wrong.

How much power does just the NAS use?

the NAS is the bulk of the 100W.

Are you running something like Unraid or TrueNAS, or are you just running a ‘regular’ Linux distro?

Ubuntu + ZFS. I don’t see the appeal of running a non-mainline distribution. All I did was set it up so ZFS sends me emails and a crontab to run a ZFS resilver weekly.

Another reason to avoid a Synology. I had a HP Microserver gen 8 that I ditched due to CPU constraints and ECC ram. Just got 32G of cheap DDR4.

Run your fun things in containers and you can’t make a mess of the host.

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.
