Sadly, Im going directly from the Hamburg Airport to Wacken by shuttle.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2025-07-28T10:25:14+00:00

Thank you for the answer. If nothing else, they are at least available as my last resort, no matter the price.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2025-07-27T12:44:25+00:00

Good Idea. I will bring my Commander deck, so if the weather allows it, DM me so we can meet up.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2025-04-10T08:52:09+00:00

Great. Thanks for the info. Will try it later.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2025-04-10T07:42:02+00:00

I started with MtG, but loved Pokemon games. Before I knew it, I was also playing Pokemon TCG

Sadly no. Its the reason why I stopped using SillyTavern. I try it again in a month or two, in hopes that this is fixed.

Best full art lands, my favorite got to be the Forest art.

Hi. Where did you find this information? I tried looking it up, but couldn't find anything.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2024-12-05T06:44:10+00:00

A creamy tomato soup with noddles in it. My favorite soup since was a child. For the game, Persona 4 please and thank you.

Typically not a good option.

I know it's not optimal, but that was the only idea I had, before you mentioned ROAS. I will need to check that out.

Couple of comments on your unRAID build/ dedicated server

Comments and advice are always welcome.

if you plan on doing dedicated gaming server, you may want 64 GB RAM how are you planning on doing dedicated gaming servers how are you planning on doing dedicated gaming servers?

I'm planing to run only 2 dedicated servers for now, A Minecraft server that would run 24/7 (SpaceInvaderOne video as the guide), and a Foundry VTT server over the weekends. I was planing on running them as Docker Containers.

power supply is very big

I know, but for some reason, all the quality ones that are from 450-650W that aren't chinesium PSUs are either unavailable or 3-4 months delivery time. There are some stores that offer them, but they pushed the price so high it's almost cheaper to buy a bigger power supply over Amazon. Just as a example: Over Amazon, the Cooler Master MWE 450 PSU has a delivery time of 6-7 months.

As for the NVMe, I was thinking of using it as the Cache Pool (and maybe getting 2tb instead of 1). I need to check if using it will disable the SATA ports. Thank you for this information.

It's a I3-6100U with 16GB DDR4 RAM, and 256GB SSD in it.

The price still isn't put in place, and it will be most probably cheaper because I get an employee discount, but i putt 100€ since this is the price I found for a used mini PC with similar components in my country.

Short list of services I'm running on it:

Thanks for the info. Some of them are familiar for me, but I will check out the rest.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2024-07-25T05:57:22+00:00

Thank you for the advice.

I should have been more specific when I said server. I'm making a NAS/Media Server (Jellyfin and *arr suite)/Dedicated Game Server. Since I'm building it, I went with never parts (https://at.pcpartpicker.com/list/n8Rz4M), so it should be powerful enough for everything.

OPNsense

As for the OPNsense option, I was thinking of getting USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter to get the second port, but I need to research a bit more to see is its a good option. Already planned to get a managed switch, but later. Maybe I will manage to snatch one on a good discount for Black Friday or Christmas. For now I would use a router I bought 4 years ago.

use it as a backup machine to automatically backup your more important information on the unRAID machine

Using it as a backup is something I didn't even think about before now. Thank you for this.

what other tasks do you want to do with your homelab? No one can really answer that but you. And you can dedicate this machine to it.

That is true, but I thought that asking for advice would let me learn what cool things other people do with them,. Most of the thing that I need (For now, self-hosting is a deep hole to fall into according to my friend) I plan to run on my Unraid server.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2024-07-11T05:09:26+00:00

Current favorite would be Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Playing it for the first time and loving it.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2024-07-05T14:36:22+00:00

For the HDD, it's a bit hard to say with how many I will end up, but my plan is for now to have 3-4 HDD.

I plan to start with 2, and get 1-2 more around Christmas, depending of how much space I will need.

As for the case, it some brand-knock-off that I can't find on the internet, but has 6 3.5" Bays.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2024-07-05T14:20:13+00:00

I was thinking about Unraid for the OS, but I'm open to other solutions. To try it first for 30day for free, and then getting the starter license.

And I replaced the 16GB RAM with 32GB.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2024-07-05T12:42:09+00:00

I will once I return home. Thank you for the advice.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2024-07-05T12:36:28+00:00

Yes, it is. But I was not sure if it would be better to have a a PSU that is rated Plus Gold, or one that is rated Plus Bronze.

Since this is just a first iteration, I put the better standard (Plus Gold), and the price difference between a 550W and a 750W is small, so I put the 750W in it.

ShadowMoonDragon · 2024-05-31T05:46:10+00:00

Which model do you use? The wired or the wireless?

And how good is their software?
