Time is merely a perspective. I’ve been doing this for 20 years.

Perhaps it is overblown, but one of the reasons I have 8 drives is because I wanted to run raidz2 for the extra redundancy. I’ve had multiple drives die before and so as disk sizes have gone up more redundancy has been important (at least I thought so).

So when my first ZFS NAS (4 disks) developed hardware failure, I decided to get more serious about it. Hence larger rack device with a proper Xeon with ECC memory and an HBA for 8 disks + 2 SSDs and the old drives that survived as a play space. I’ve also used this server now for 9 years.

Node 304

That is a really nice small form factor case. I was recently looking at Fractal’s Define 7 XL because it can hold an amazing 18 3.5" + SSDs.

Welcome. I personally found it necessary because YouTube’s algo kept giving mostly QOP nazi propaganda starting back in 2016.

Wow, that didn’t used to be that way. I guess things have changed over the years.

Because of their contractor status they may not have any grounds to do so. Looks real shitty though for sure.

Exactly what I said

100% fresh

Considering what Google did to the jabber protocol, we can all be glad they gave up, IMO.

You’d be surprised at how many folks take it personally…

Anyone that has a production postgres deployment. For backups.

Thanks for sharing this, is extremely interesting

Have had the TP Link Deco units installed for a few days now.

They are pretty good. I’m basically able to suck up the entire bandwidth of my 500/500 fiber line directly over the wifi.

On top of that, the mesh support has been good, connecting me to the best node and passing mobile devices between nodes well.

They also have two modes BTW - normal gateway mode and just AP mode - for those who want to park them behind a pfsense router.

The janky things about them are their setup encourages you to setup via their app with an account, which many here will find at best distasteful.

Glad to hear it!

Happy to hear it

Wow, that is an incredible setup! That’s the exact display I was thinking of buying. Did you have to do anything special configuration wise?

Where you referring to this nobara project?

Do you know if your OLED screen has a standard pixel layout or if it has one of the modified ones?

For example QD-OLED are structured in a triangle and some of the LG ones have 4 instead of 3 (if I’m recalling it correctly). The result on windows for both of these is a slightly more blurry text.

Its better we stop depending on the single points of failure anyway. The psychopaths will always do whatever they want in the name of the shareholder - even when its not true.

True - their TV and monitors are good - I was talking specifically about their washing/drying/fridge.

I got one Samsung TV for free for one reason or another – it never really worked properly because all its spyware shit kept tripping up on my custom DNS server.

And LG - they are both hot garbage.
