I also never saw a calculation that took into amount my VPS costs. The fckers scrape half the internet, warming up every server in the world connected to the internet. How much energy is that?

My small low power self built NAS has HDDs for Jellyfin and no problems at all. Just a simple straight forward RAID1 created from countless online tutorials. Feel free to ask or contact me if you wanna know more of the software setup things.
Actually that usually is how it works. Unfortunately.
*Too big to fail" was probably made up by the big ones.
So the initiative here is the initiative itself.
Your city can probably afford it, but some can't, or won't. Initiatives like this get the ball rolling.
First, apologies for the late reply, I forget to check notifications here. On a tangent, it's a lovely UI since it's not pestering me to do this or that, but I do miss an occassional reply or two.
Now, to recap: I have asked you in my post, what software do you have right now? You said the family doesn't want to sort the library twice - how do they sort this now? You said you host your photo collections on home servers, something something proxmox - the question is how do you get the photos there now? Because you might already have a solution.
If yes, tell us what your process looks like at the moment, and someone might have an advice. If no, if you have nothing right now, that's okay too.
Yeah, but I like the "two weeks" one better, it waits at least four days until the next popup. The other one, the lil X, waits like four minutes
"abusive spouse" funny way to spell "government and "techbros"
I think it's because the average person doesn't understand about five words in your first sentence. They can understand marketing bull that they're fed, though.
On a tangent, to me as an outsider it seems that most Americans are more likely to view anything as negative. I have no scientific backing for my shitpost though.
I'm building a NAS for the first time on my own, so I wanted to share the story so far here.
I'm not a stranger to custom builds, in fact I don't think I ever bought an assembled PC (not counting second hand 386 box a million years ago). But this is my first small, low power build, so it's not perfect, I already ran into a wall (more later).
I base the build on an AsRock mini-ITX board, the CPU is included, it's passively cooled, low power consumption but still powerful for a NAS. I'm sticking it into a Node 304 Fractal Design case. Here's the full list of parts I got:
- AsRock J4125-ITX board with a Celeron 4125 (4-core CPU)
- 8GB DDR4 RAM (a Crucial kit)
- a 500GB NVMe SSD (which I can't use)
- a couple of Seagate IronWolf 4TB drives
- 90W PicoPSU and some no-name power brick
- Fractal Design Node 304 mini-ITX case.
I planned to have an SSD for OS, these two disks for my photography and media, and then later on expand with more storage (preferably SSD, when I can afford it).
As mentioned, I messed up: the M2 slot on the motherboard is a "Key E" slot. I never bothered with these keys before, so I didn't know that a Key E slot does not have a SATA protocol, it won't take my SSD.
Another thing, the PicoPSU is a 20-pin power supply, and the board has a 24-pin slot. It should still be fine, the specs say that this is still okay, but I'll have to see. According to my back-of-the-napkin calculations, 90 Watts should be enough power for the mobo and CPU, the SSD and the two spinning disks.
Anyway I'll get a regular SATA SSD tomorrow and see how it's shaping up. Let me know if you want me to post more on my progress/end result or if you have any questions.
Taken for the 52frames.com challenge last week. I have a few more shots on my (relatively new) photo site.
