adding on to Noise, if you do end up in a situation where you’re considering buying refurbished enterprise hard disks, know that they are louder than normal consumer drives, esp if you have 4 of them running at once in a NAS

ah yes when you get to the station and the announcements say “the next train to so-and-so has been cancelled, sorry for the inconvenience” Always a fun day

“Please just put the fries in the bag. I don’t care about open source or that GNU is the operating system and Linux is the kernel or whatever you’re yappin about!”

Thats pretty cool. Using steam pistons to help compress the fuel enough for fusion, from which that heat gets used to make different steam to then make electricity.

Stop & Shop in the US does this (or at least it did? I never used it so I barely pay attention to it lol). There’s like a wall of handheld scanners you can pick up when you enter and a little place on the cart for them to go in. You can scan and bag your stuff as you go and then pay at a special register.

if there’s one thing I know, its a large pepperoni with extra cheese will fix me

I swear some companies design engines to just be put together once and that’s it. Absolute nightmare to service.

could also be an Audi owner doing timing work on one of those engines with the timing chain at the back of the engine

“You all keep saying we’ve enshittified printers so you all lose your printing rights until you think about what you’ve done”

man when you’re too terrible for Florida conservatives to want you there, you know you’re a terrible person

that 1990 vintage smell

Guy who broke his company with AI realizes he could probably get more VC money if he makes another website and crams AI into it

“Check Engine light on again? Check out the new 2027 Jeep Wagoneer! You’ll definitely get more miles out of the new one compared to the 2025 model thats now broken”

The ad they show is an ad for their own extended warranty package and it says that “Odometer must be less than 36000 miles to purchase” Anyone wanna take bets for whether or not that will actually shut up once you go over 36k miles? (I’m betting no)

We’re really deep into nightmare territory with the kind of stuff companies feel its ok to do to customers…

My TrueNAS setup uses a used Ryzen 3200G and mATX motherboard I got off of ebay for about $100 total. Honestly, any CPU with integrated graphics should be fine, so maybe something like the Intel 8500T, which was specifically a low power SKU could also work. Unless you plan on doing a lot of video transcoding, then you might need something more powerful (or a low end GPU like the Intel Arc A310 or a Radeon 6400 to go with it)

I’m not so sure how TrueNAS Scale determines how much RAM to allocate for ZFS, but at least with Proxmox, the wiki says you want to have at least 2GiB + (1 GiB/TiB of storage) of RAM to be able to be allocated.

If you’re looking to use 2TiB of storage, that would be at least 4GiB of RAM dedicated just to ZFS cache, so 8GiB of RAM would probably suit you. You might need to get more RAM in the future if you want to go with more storage at that time.

As for a case, anything will do as long as it can hold however many hard drives you ultimately wish to put in it.

smh who would ever build a walking tank?

chroot has all the power to fix it, but my mental state cant handle it

Every time I have to get a homemade pizza off of the peel and onto my baking steel i repeat the phrase “dough can sense fear” to myself. Cuz if you’re not confident, that thing is gonna stick to your peel or end up lopsided

A used i5-8500T or similar sounds pretty good, actually. Idk about Europe, but in the US you can get them second hand for like $30 on ebay. Seems like you can also find Passive coolers for that socket too on ebay, if you really want.

If you can find an ITX board that has the correct socket second hand, then you’d be good to go, and have options for expansion, if its got a pcie slot.

I’ve got a NAS built with used parts and its been fine for me so far. Its not as low power as yours, but the components were cheap enough that I could spend more on storage. And when its just idling, I don’t think it uses that much power (Never actually measured the power consumption at the plug. Its a Ryzen 3200g) but it sits at like 2% CPU usage most of the time with the host OS and 3 VMs running.
