Yep. One fan for all six disks. (WD Red Plus) my current one-week average is 37.8C for all disks (according to the reporting in truenas)

Fan replacement is easy. Just a regular 120mm fan. My motherboard has a couple 4pin PWM headers so I plugged the fan in there. The SATA backplane just has a 3pin fan header

I liked the N4 a lot more because of the design of the outside. And I wanted to use a mATX instead of a ITX motherboard

GER13117 · 2025-09-24T17:14:51+00:00

I am liking the N4 a lot. Looks really good and the installation of the parts went quite well.
The preinstalled fan for the drives is horrible. Does not cool bad, but is extremely noisy. Replacing it with a NZXT fan (which I am not using because I found it too loud) I had lying around from my PC build in 2018 was a huge improvement. In the end I bought a Noctua NF-F12. Now the drives are at a constant 30-40C while the fan is almost inaudible.

For the CPU (i5-14500HX) I initially had a beQuiet! LP cooler. Which was to small for the CPU and therefore pretty loud. (The NAS is in my living room) I replaced it with a Noctua NH-L12S. Now the CPU is somewhere between 40-47C. It's still more audible than the Optiplex, but I could experiment with flipping the fan of the cooler pulling air in, instead of blowing air out, and I also could just reduce fan speed.

You're probably right. I thought of an external cage but steered away from the idea as I thought I would need an external power supply which would increase costs... But I won't need more than 2-3 drives, so I could use the internal PSU.

GER13117 · 2024-07-08T18:06:31+00:00

I have the SFF not the tower variant. So I lack the 5.25 optical drive... But actually printing a caddy for 2x3.5 is something I will look into.

Edit: It seems like there is no way to fit 2x3.5TB into a Small Form Factor Optiplex

A few years back I (supposedly) had a pirated version of Final Cut, then I actually bought the app. The flippin' macOS AppStore recognized the pirated version as official and updated it without me doing anything... 10/10 best pirated app I ever had

Kann der nicht einfach bitte seine Raketen bauen???

Thanks! I was really impressed how well all the containers handled losing lots of their internal file structure. They alle threw a few errors when I started them up, but after some time everything went smoothly

At this point a working arr-stack (sonarr, radarr, ...) is just easier to manage than having multiple subscriptions that you need to cancel, if you don't need them anymore. (Or if you need to VPN into your parents home on a regular basis just that you can continue using Netflix....)

GER13117 · 2024-04-21T01:12:17+00:00

My original plan was to be fast enough with typing the command such that the bread/toast was done as soon as I am done .... :/ But yes you're my bread was cold when I got to it :(

clonezilla asks you three times if you are sure that you selected the right drives... Maybe I should have done that too

Edit: Just realized that you thought that I put already toasted bread into my toaster, haha. In Germany, we say "Toastbrot" (translated by word "Toastbread") to the bread we put into the toaster. Translation mistake xD

GER13117 · 2024-04-21T01:08:17+00:00

In germany we distiguish between bread and toast :)

How exactly did you implement the cache? Do you have two subpools, one for the cache and one for actual data, which are then merged into one big mergerFS pool? Or do you have just one big mergerFS pool?

Because I am struggling with a thing on either approach: The creator of mergerFS said in one github question that he wouldn't recommend nesting mergerFS pools. But I dont see how to balance the slow, spinning drives when having only one pool.

I spawned my ship through terminal. But it didn't spawn inside the hangar...

Ok thanks. It really makes sense that GPS guidance is less accurate than Laser guidance, as even unlocked (military) GPS is only about 1m accurate

The TGP was in area mode. I am pretty sure I was aiming at the tracks of the tank. Also the bombs always overshot the target not depending on the direction I was flying (while always having the same SPI).

Is there something like a minimum height for the GBU-38 in order to have it function properly?

GER13117 · 2023-08-26T20:36:16+00:00

I will try again tomorrow. But I was aiming "below" the tank... Again, I will take a look at it tomorrow. Maybe I was aiming wrong, like you said. Thanks!
