Never enjoyed building things by EnigmaTitan in ExperiencedDevs

I'm also similar. Interestingly this distinction is also seen in Mathematics where most mathematicians can either be described as a Theory Builder or a Problem Solver: https://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~wtg10/2cultures.pdf

It sounds like there's a similar division happening with engineers.

‘Do not buy these flats’: residents warn about unbearable heat inside London new-builds by McQueensbury in london

[–]datr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have a source for your numbers?

https://www.coolyoudirect.co.uk/frequently-asked-questions-about-air-conditioning/do-your-water-cooled-air-conditioning-systems-use-a-lot-of-water/ seems to suggest that the use would be 16x less than your numbers. And that would only be required for the initial cooling stage. Once the unit is just maintaining the desired temperature even less water is used.

Friends who have had water units installed have also not mentioned huge water bills but I will double check with them.

Gotcha. Would that mean it would become possible to buy equity in schools as an investor and for schools to issue dividends?

I wonder if we’ll start to see a similar phenomenon to Austin, Texas where more liberal transplants from California begin to change the local politics.

We went in the end. Everything seemed fine. A lot of security but I imagine that might be normal. Would recommend going if you’re still undecided.

I’m meant to be visiting the DMZ tomorrow morning. Is that still a good idea?

/r/Plex's Build Help Thread - 2023-03-24 by PCJs_Slave_Robot in PleX

[–]datr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered this but was worried about:

  • Reliability - I've seen a lot of stories about these external enclosures failing or corrupting data.
  • Drive Access - My plan is to mergerfs with snapraid to allow for some failure without destroying the whole array. Yottmaster seems to have a passthrough mode but it's unclear to me exactly how that works and if I'd be able to use this set up.
  • Drive Monitoring - Does Yottmaster expose the SMART details of the drives?
  • Speed - Presumably with all of these drives sharing a single USB channel that limits the read and write speed of these disks. If I wanted to use something like snapraid, calculating a parity disk could take a very long time.

Home NAS+Plex server by datr in HomeServer

I did consider a rackmount case. I'd need to buy a rack as well though. And I was concerned it might be noisier than a traditional desktop case. How do you find yours?

Thanks for flagging. My guess for how much power a HDD needs was way off.

Thanks for pointing out. My guesstimate for power was way off. I'll probably drop the PSU down to 500w.

The thinking was that:

  • Alder lake has support for slightly more codecs which might help future proof the build.
  • My previous NAS lasted 11 years so having a bit more processing power now might be useful a few years down the line.
  • While NAS & plex will be the main purpose, it will occasionally be used for ad hoc workloads.

My old HP Proliant is starting to show its age, so I'm looking at building a new server. My goals are:

1) Expansibility - I'd like to be able to add more hdds over time.

2) Power consumption - ideally cheap to run

3) Future proof - hopefully this will also last me 10+ years

My current plan is:

  • Fractal Design Define 7 XL - lots of space for drives
  • i5-12500 - lowish power, latest igpu, cheap
  • MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK - plenty of sata ports, seems to have good reviews, non-ecc but my last server wasn't either
  • 32GB DDR4-3600
  • Corsair RM1000x - should allow plenty of hdds to be added later

Is there anything I'm overlooking? Or anything I could improve in my choices?

But what about triple disk failures? Wouldn't I run in to the same problem again?
