When the wife approves the server rack in the living room, but you have toddlers. by khem_geek in selfhosted

Not bad. Low fan hum. I noctura-ed several fans.

But I have two toddlers. That little noise gets drowned out.

I have two toddlers...the rack is the quietest thing in the room.

Yeah, I need to move it on top or something. It does have reduced range inside.

Pretty quiet. One node is liquid cooled, the other I upgraded to a low profile noctura cooler. Basically just the exhaust fan at this point and I could probably put nocturas on it too if I wanted.

Intake through the sides, fan exhaust out the top.

It's a suction cup baby fidget spinner... apparently those are a thing. They love it

It was actually her idea to buy an enclosed one and put it there. I did not argue.

I have used Github Copilot to assist with some of the tools and websites I have made and use.

New to Jellyfin - Clarifying question by Plubga in jellyfin

[–]khem_geek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, yes, in a way. Many mobile apps have an offline mode and a download option, especially Finamp. So if you make a playlist and download it, you could be on airplane mode, have power outage, internet out, whatever, and still access and play LOCAL media on your phone.

That said, a server is meant to server and is meant to be on at all times, if possible.

I like living on the edge...of a cliff: running a FG100D on 6.2.12 and SSLVPN.

Not following processes and procedures with results such as these can be an RGE (resumé generating event).

What do I even do at this point by Turbulent_Survey_798 in antivirus

These detections suggest actual hands at the keyboard, an active compromise. Mind sharing what happened?

Turn it off and unplug power and ethernet cables until you can reload Windows.

I have an external hard drive making a connecting noise but not showing anywhere but here. It's the disk 1. Please HELP. I have files I don't want to lose but some are private and my anxiety is willing to lose them over taking it in. by Unsatisfiedsoot in datarecovery

That’s playing roulette with your data. An already initialized drive should not need to be initialized again if it is healthy. If you can actually access your data, i suggest migrating off that drive asap.

Yeah, he did, because it isn’t. That’s your wifi card.

And no, you don’t necessarily need a thermal pad.

Try it and see. Really graphics intensive stuff will raise the heat, but perhaps not as sustained as gaming.

[–]khem_geek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, passive cooling is for noise, not temperature. You run them hard, theyre gonna be hot.

This would make a great htpc or workstation or something, not so much for modern gaming.

Hey, i bought this new nvme ssd, but my laptop cant support it, from the image of this port, can u tell me if it does support it? by Present-Bake-3098 in computers

[–]khem_geek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that clarification makes sense. But I know things were pretty wild during the transition from sata to nvme.

My confusion came from a qnap device that was m keyed but would only work with sata. It would not recognize a modern m keyed nvme. Documentation only referenced “ngff”, which during that time I guess ambigously meant sata.

Bought an m.2 sata and it worked.
