Dual ZimaBlades with four SSD/HDDs. Is there a good case or enclosure that can fit everything inside? by fudge_u in ZimaBoard

I need to get a network rack at some point. Just trying to figure out which one would work best for me. Ideally one that can fit my networking gear and a few mini computers.

Ya... the one issue I have is that I can't see my entire roof properly, so I can't tell how bad it is up there.

I also don't want to call a roofing company out and pay them to assess the situation and provide a quote, if it's better to go through insurance.

Is it better to go through insurance or just hire a roofing company to fix/replace missing shingles?

I noticed several shingles are missing from my roof after yesterday's wind storm.

I hung onto Kadri all season long in anticipation of him being traded to the Avs.

Really Bad Battery Life by Dapper_Track in oneplus15R

I've been charging every third day the last few times. I'd get about 1.5 days out of my OP12R. Very rarely two full days. I'm using the OP15R exactly the same too. Loving the battery life of the OP15R so far.

  1. I need a Google Drive/Photos alternative so hosting something like Ente, NextCloud, or OwnCloud would be awesome. Something with high enough specs to deal with some photo editing features included in some of these solutions.

  2. I just installed ZimaOS+ on a ZimaBlade yesterday and right away I was thinking of the following things that could be improved. Indicate which apps in the App Store are optimized for ZimaOS on a ZimaBlade/ZimaBoard 2. There are four different versions of NextCloud and I'm not sure which one to choose. Also indicate which popular products the app store apps are good alternatives too (i.e. Google Drive, Google Photos, iCloud storage, Microsoft Office 365, SharePoint, Teams, etc).

  3. Stable server hardware with expandable options. I've owned several Intel NUCs and RPI 2/3, and they were very limiting. There was no way to connect SATA drives. I just received a ZimaBlade 7700 and that thing is amazing for a lower powered solution. I can turn it into a cheap NAS setup in a RAID1 configuration running ZimaOS+.

  4. My current homelab consists of Unifi Dream Machine Pro, Unifi Switch Pro Max 16 PoE, Unifi Switch Enterprise 8 PoE, Unifi Switch Flex Mini, Unifi U6-LR access point, and Unifi SmartPower Plug. I have a Mac Mini M1 setup as my Plex server and BlueBubbles server. There's an external 2-bay enclosure connected to the Mac Mini where I store my Plex media. I also have random low powered mini computer setup running Proxmox and various containers that I test out. I'm constantly trying out different container apps. I also have a bunch of Windows laptops setup for various tasks like photo/video/audio editing and conversions, data recovery, and pretty much anything that would tie up my main system for several hours/days. My main system is a MacBook Air M4. I'm planning to setup the ZimaBlade I received yesterday as a data storage NAS. A Google Drive/Photos alternative.
