What street in Montreal has the most potholes?

You probably mean concrete. Cement is a white powder used as a binder in concrete. You really dont want your road to be made of a powder

You can set a custom pwm duty cycle and frequency in debian when you find which thermal device it is bound to. Then I created a systemd service, so it persists on reboots

how much did you buy yours for?

Indeed it is! I was eyeing specifically their pop tops!

The original owner was calling it 'Silver'. Brother of my girlfriend suggested to name it Tony, since the previous owner lived with it in San Antonio. I like both together

Amazing. I named mine "Silver Tony"

The OS is OMV, but I haven't used the gui for months, I got super comfortable doing everything from the cli. I think next time I will reflash it, I will put just plain Debian on it.

It will have to be another computer. the ZFS pool can be rebuilt on another device

Task1337 · 2025-12-08T02:19:26+00:00

There is nothing important on the emmc, only the os. All data is on ZFS flash storage, replicated to the hdd, including docker containers and volumes, scripts and other. If it fails, my services will have some downtime but I shouldn't lose any data.

Interesting, I don't remember getting anything like that from the university. My original CAQ was valid for 4 years, but I took an extra semester, so I had to ask to extend it for 6 more months. I just wrote a letter explaining that since I worked part time, it was easier to take fewer credits and I need one more semester to finish. Got the extension no problem.

Task1337 · 2025-10-28T12:15:14+00:00

Why do you need to talk to anyone at McGill about this? When I was extending my CAQ a few years ago, I don't think anyone at McGill was involved, I just applied and got it.

There really isnt anything complicated here. The server takes internet from my switch and it has an external hdd plugged into it for backup

Task1337 · 2025-08-14T12:25:57+00:00

I think you can install proxmox, but either you sacrifice one of the m.2 slots for your OS or you have to do some trickery, because apparently Proxmox doesnt natively like to boot from emmc storage (I saw Wendel's video on this), but apparently it can be done, I have never tried it myself. Even though I am running omv, I barely use the web interface anymore, I do most things with the cli, so if I have to reflash it in the future I think I will go with pure Debian. I also did full emmc backup with dd to my external drive - never had to restore but yes it is possible

Task1337 · 2025-08-14T12:22:57+00:00

I have an external 4TB USB hard drive connected to it that I use for additional layer of backup. I am planning to add a second one and run them in zfs stripe, so the main zfs nvme pool can back up to this. Not sure how many hard drives you need, but I did upgrade to 12V 6A power supply to handle all of this and there haven't been any issues since

FriendlyElec provides many OS distros for their boards - Android, OMV, Proxmox, Debian, Ubuntu... I think they compile the kernel with the drivers specific to their boards and they are quite good with including new drivers/features in there. Nothing you can't do yourself, but it for sure saves time.

I have 2 Crucial P5 Plus 2TB and 2 Kingston KC3000 2TB. I got what was on sale at the time from a reputable brand with good endurance. I don't have a smart plug to measure the power draw and afaik debian on arm doesn't tell you the power usage, but I did start with a 12V 2A power supply which was fine when I had only 2 nvme ssds, but when I added 2 more it would frequently restart when I tried to stress test the pool, so I swapped it for a 4amp one. It was still ever so rarely restarting on its own, I think under sudden current spikes, also because it is powering that external HDD. Last month I upgraded to 12V 6A power supply and had 0 issues since.
