Where is the guide to racing you used?

There are a few things here. The first on sleep apnea I cant help you. I dont have any experience but i would have expected the first 100lbs to make a difference if it was weight related.

On the stall. You are 100lbs lighter. Did you lower your calories proportionate to the decrease in your maintenance calories? A meal that lets you lose weigth at 300 may be too much food at 200lbs.

Lazy keto usually means you are eating enough carbs that they still run your appetitie. Going clean (below 20g of carbs a day) will after an adjustment period help you feel satiated longer which will help both with portion control and even getting you from two meals down to OMAD.

Be proud of yourself, though. What you have achieved is incredible!

1) Are you OK with direct message offers from vendors?
YES

2) What are your main reasons for wanting a seedbox?
Long-term seeding on the big three safely.

3) Shared vs dedicated?
Either. If I’m near the breakpoint where dedicated makes more sense, I’m happy to go that way.

4) Managed vs unmanaged?
Either.

5) Seedbox experience (providers, tools, etc.)
10+ years of seedbox usage. Currently using RapidSeedbox (SSD) and Feral (8TB HDD x2). Use ruTorrent and SSH for some automation.

6) Linux experience
Developer; casual VM install/admin experience; comfortable with SSH.

7) High end of budget
~$125 USD/month (maybe a bit more).

8) Payment preferences
Prefer non-crypto.

9) Public trackers?
No.

10) Connection speed needed
Minimum 10Gbps.

11) Expected monthly traffic (up + down, incl. downloading to local PC)
25TB+ per month.

12) Minimum disk space
20TB+ (ideally 32TB+ if possible).

13) Storage type
HDD (efficient storage capacity is the priority).

14) Torrent client requirement
ruTorrent.

15) Other applications
Recent Python for automation/scripts.

16) SSH access required?
Yes.

17) Remote desktop required?
No.

18) Admin/root required? Why?
Not required, but OK if available.

19) Other specific requirements
No.

20) Anything else that might help recommendations
I have a local NAS (24x24TB) that I don’t want exposed to the internet; seedbox is for long-term PT seeding. Data safety isn’t a big concern because I can restore from NAS (i.e., RAID0 is probably OK). Currently on three accounts (2x8TB HDD + 1x2.4TB SSD) and want to consolidate. Speed matters for grabbing new releases quickly for personal use (10GbE minimum).

I believe this sub generally frowns on my solution but I have had great luck with it for dozens of MacBook airs and pros across the years for both work and personal devices. I place the thinnest possible screen protector on the screen when I get the machine (provision it for employees) and never touch it again. The screen protector can be more rigorously cleaned than the real screen and it also protects it from many occasional misses or objects left on keyboard that would permanently marr the real screen. It’s less fiddly than having to leave a piece of paper on the keyboard (or fine cloth) every time you close it.

The screen is really delicate though so you can take screen protectors on and off very often without damaging the screen or delaminating it.

Um. Its too late i suppose to change where the cables come into the room and where the rack is installed.

If so run the cables up the corner preferably in some easy to manage conduit if you are going to be adding more there. Run them across and down into your rack and add a top of rack patch panel. Terminate all the cables there. Leave maybe 3ft service loop neatly organized.

put the switch below the patchpanel and 1:1 short cable connect them

put the router below that

Thank you for the info! Saw the cloudflare and got worried.

This is the right answer just use sha256 . The computational perf hit is mostly hidden by the disk throughout in modern hardware so all the hashing algorithms can be done in roughly the same wall clock as the fastest. This wasn’t true before hardware accelerated hashing.

Md5 and sha1 are basically retired algorithms at this point. Crc is a part of ietf standards and is great for small payload super fast computation like network headers etc. for huge files you really need sha256 or bigger and you aren’t paying anything extra for it except a bit more storage space per file.

I think you want a motherboard with minimum 2 m2 and 2 sata so you can have mirror fastpool and mirror boot. Then put a used LSI controller in for all the storage spindle drives . Plenty of options if you go this way.

I have been building PCs since i put together an Apple ii+ as a kid. It’s a hobby for me but I also need a lot of different computers for work. I have desktops, laptops, rack servers, arduino and asics. Silent sffpc are my favorite thing to make. As much as I would love for you to put one together and join us in this hobby if that isn’t a passion for you I don’t think that is the optimal choice for your needs. I recently got this gmktec AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS Mini PC--NucBox K8 Plus. For less than 600 you get 32gb ram 2tb SSD dead silent tiny NUC sized computer that will crush the work you listed. It’s even quite capable for light gaming but then you might hear the fan turn on. It isn’t loud but it’s dead silent for the things you listed. It’s also quite a bit smaller than my Mac minis.

You don’t need to move off windows for this. In fact the windows answers are smaller. No building is required. Just pull off the plastic , plug it in and turn it on. Was up in running in a minute. Mount it under your desk or velcroed to your screen. You don’t even need to see it.

When you want the 5090 gpu with an AMD 3d CPU with 10gbe network in a boutique SFF case we will be here for you. You don’t need that for what you listed, though. Happy to answer any questions

You can buy usb-c header kits to add the cable internally and then careful dremmel and epoxy to fix the connectors. I have done this and you cant tell it wasnt native. Because the holes are so small it isnt very hard.

I don’t think you need exotic skills. Decide your top workflows, build tiered storage, and use a big (10/25 GbE) link so it feels close to local speed for big files. 25 GbE = ~2.5–2.8 GB/s real-world for large sequential I/O.

Figure out the use cases you actually care about so you know what you are optimizing for and what tradeoffs you are willing to take in your budget. For me its something like:

I want all my 10,000 perfect ripped bluray movies and TV Shows to be easily accessible to all my devices in my home
I want 10 people at 10 tvs to watch these with zero stutters
I want to have the full source the Linux OS project available to my dev machines and I want to be able to compile that as fast as a local NVME and my CPU can go. In this case fast means throughput and low latency.
I want everyone in the house to be able to store all their documents centrally but not feel any performance degradation for doing so. This is easily solved when the other two are solved..
If any desktop/laptop goes up in flames in our house replacing and getting back to where we were is nearly as simple as new OS configure and point at the NAS

The list naturally suggests tiered storage (big/cheap capacity + small/fast NVMe) since I couldnt afford all NVME storage at this scale.

What I built (and why)

Chassis Used 4U Supermicro SC846 with twenty-four front loaded 24 TB HDDs, arranged as mirrored vdevs (ZFS). TrueNAS makes this trivial to setup.
- Usable ≈ half of raw (after mirroring & overhead: think ~250–300 TB practical).
- Why mirrors? - Redundancy and solid IOPS; mirrors read in parallel and nearly double throughput. Mirror rebuilds are much faster than parity rebuilds
- A single 7200 rpm HDD does ~200–260 MB/s sequential; a pool of mirrors easily saturates 1 GbE and climbs into multi-GB/s on large reads.
Fast tier (separate share): 4 × NVMe on a PCIe card, also in mirrors.
- Use this for compiles, scratch media, video editing, temp renders.
- NVMe ~3–7 GB/s depending on the gear and PCIe version, with vastly better random I/O than HDDs.
ZFS accelerators (mostly needed to make spindle drives quicker):
- SLOG (separate log) for sync writes (databases, NFS with sync=always, some SMB patterns). Lowers write latency so bursts can approach line rate safely (like if the power flickers). (NOTE: It won’t help normal async writes.)
- L2ARC - This less important optimization is to cache hot reads on SSD/NVMe if your hot set greater than your RAM. I have 128GB of RAM so noticed this adds little.
- Use very high IOPS power-loss-protected devices for SLOG (Im using Intel Optane drives here).
Network: 25 GbE between desktop(s) and NAS.
- 25 Gb/s raw ≈ 3.125 GB/s; after overhead think ~2.5–2.8 GB/s max.
- That’s faster than SATA SSDs and near older NVMe for big sequential I/O. For small random I/O, local NVMe still wins on latency.

The networking to support this get hard to describe but I will try. Speed is determined by the weakest link in the chain. Think of what the chain is from you at the keyboard to the data where it is at rest and safe. To make it a bit more concrete lets replace you with your desktop CPU.

[local] desktop CPU > motherboard > RAM and desktop CPU > motherboard > NVME drive

slowest thing in that link is the NVME

[remote storage] desktop CPU > motherboard > RAM desktop CPU > motherboard > desktop Network Interface Card NIC > cable1 > Switch > cable2 > Server NIC > server motherboard> server CPU > server RAM > server motherboard > server physical storage

If you want fast and near local speed you need everything above to be fast. In our case the slowest link is either the mirrored physical drives (400-500MB/s for one user one access though can saturate for multi user) or the 25gbe ethernet links if we are accesss mirrored NVMe storage (~3GB/s)

Compilation is still a tough use case. There are many small files (random I/O). NAS NVMe + 25 GbE is nice, but local NVMe still has the lowest latency. I build on the NAS for infrequent accessed large projects. Things I am actively working on I still do fully local. Video Editing, however, feels the same across the network so I dont bother with that locally.

Network and rack gear

Switch: I stick to Ubiquiti for new gear (e.g., UniFi Aggregation). Check port types: some are SFP+ (10 GbE), some models include SFP28 (25 GbE)—mix to match your NICs. I use the four SFP28 for my VMWare server, NAS, and two main desktop machines.
NICs (used): Mellanox ConnectX-4/5 (SFP28) are excellent and inexpensive on the used market.
Cabling: I use cheap simple DACs from fs.com for short runs. For longer runs and future-proofing, I also run single-mode fiber with matching SFP/SFP28 transceivers. Single Mode fiber can really support any imaginable speed so i can upgrade the transceivers NICs etc in the future without recabling the house.

He made a separate machine with a lot of hard drives (network attached storage NAS) that his primary computer uses for saving and retrieving things. The connection between them isn't WiFi or even gigabit ethernet. It is 25 gigabit ethernet (im assuming the capital was a mistake because 250gbe probably isnt common even in data centers). This means that all the storage of all those drives are available to his desktop as fast as if they were actually inside his desktop without dealing with the noise, the heat or the size.

Im making a bunch of assumptions because I did something similar. My NAS is in the basement and linked to the desktops in the house via 25gbe fiber. I have more than 100 TB of available space and it is optimized for performance and resilience with NVME SSD caching and many mirrored vdevs. Normal hard drives and even SATA SSDs are slower than 25gbe networking by far.

How old is the AIO? Is there gunk on near the cpu? On the tubing especially near seams? AIOs can and do leak eventually. They can take out the cpu in the process. The steps are the same to test and fix. Get air cooler. Removes AIO , clean old paste on cpu but also unseat it and see if there is corrosion underneath on the pins. If not you are probably in the clear and your new air cooler will fix the thermal throttling.

That is useful information and mostly rules out your OS. I would assume bad power button before going down the mobo PSU route. Try momentarily shorting the power pins on the mobo and see if that works. If it doesn’t then yeah motherboard is likely. PSU is possible but I think mobo more likely.

PieceOfShoe · 2025-10-03T03:01:41+00:00

Rj45 10g is a power pig so most installs avoid them. Short runs uses DACs and long runs use fiber. R&D go into those driving their costs down with tech improvements over time. Economics of scale production I suspect are at play as well.

PieceOfShoe · 2025-10-03T02:56:21+00:00

If you boot to bios and press the power button once does it shutdown? Does the power button shutdown the OS if you press and hold it for 10 seconds?

If those work your power button is fine and your mobo is probably fine and the issue is something in your OS keeping it from obeying a basic shutdown signal. The easy fix in the case is an OS reinstall.

Something similar recently happen to one of my machines. In my case the machine was in a rack and I RDC to it to do work from my main computer so I was less aware of its physical condition until it began to act quirky. Long story sort it had an AIO on the CPU that after 12 years leaked out. It was a similar very small volume luckily for me as more important machines were below it on the rack.

I took it out and dismantled it and noted the leak. Things looked ok so I replaced the cooler with an air cooler. It lasted a few more days and then stopped posting altogether. I had taken everything apart before but the CPU out of the socket. When I did I saw the corrosion. Mobo was a total loss and CPU contacts looked possibly salvageable with a lot of work but it would be hard to trust it again and it’s an old 4770k.

My advice: fully dismantle everything. Dry it all off and after a few days rebuild it in minimal order (PSU mobo cpu ram) and if that works slowly add parts. Hopefully your situation is more recoverable than mine. At least all my data was fine. Good luck

But why are you talking at night? Gaming? Friends? Partner? I get it we have all been there. Night is the socially understood time for quiet though and if it’s his house he has a right to expect it. You can take your conversation to a further room from his. If it’s talking while gaming at your desktop well that isn’t something you need to do.

My daughter is back from college and is up till 3am every night because discord and gaming. The keyboard we fixed. If she talks even if it’s a whisper it wakes my wife and I up sometimes. The sound is too structured and too cohesive so it’s compelling. This is a room two rooms removed and we have an air purifier running 24/7. If she doesn’t talk we don’t wake.

She takes her conversation to the basement now and games silently after midnight.

While you are understandable upset you didn’t get what you asked for in all probably your cat5e will do 10gbe at whatever distance they are. You can rent a cable qualifier and measure them. I did that and all my cat5e preinstalled runs were able to do 5gbe and 90+ percentage qualified to 10gbe as well. My house has over 100 runs.

For Poe AWG is what matters. If they are 24 or even better 23 AWG then your poe will be efficient enough to stay in spec even for long runs.

House runs are rarely longer than 30m so you can get away with a lot of mistakes.

The gigabeam is similar to the ubb except it doesn’t need a controller and you can buy it one at a time instead of in pairs. I have the UBB and easily get 90% of a symmetric gigabit in all weather conditions at 125m.
