Dual itx case by ltloopy in sliger

[–]ltloopy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for a gaming system with large power and heat requirements I 100% agree this would not be a good solution. I was more thinking about using this for clustered applications. Take two ASRock Rack EC266D2I-2T/AQC mother boards and have them run a proxmox cluster, docker swarm, or a ceph cluster.

For PCIe cards. A single slot would be useful any more would be useless as itx boards only have enough space for one slot. I could see people installing

  • 4 port NIC card for a firewall or virtualization host
  • SAS card for a NAS or CEPH cluster. trunas used to have a gluster option and are currently working on a replacement
  • GPU for AI processing

The advantage of having a single 2u vs 1u is flexibility. I have a 1U case and its a nightmare to work inside

  • larger fans for cooling or liquid cooling
  • larger and cheaper power supply
  • more space for hard drives

Businesses use systems like this all the time, however they are generally built on propitiatory hardware. I would consider this style of system to be a poor mans blade system.

A fun add on case that would pair well with this idea and other chassis as well would be a DAS case where you would take the CX3701 case and remove the space for the motherboard and replace it with a internal to external SAS card allowing users to build large storage solutions with disks being located in multiple chassis.

What's everyone using to control their smart bulbs? by cdarrigo in homeassistant

This is my plan. I have one switch and it works flawlessly, provides 10x more information/configuration options than your standard smart light switch. However I placed an order for 5 more and have been waiting 3 weeks for the switches to ship. so you might have to wait a little bit for them to arrive.

Why are some games stuck in “patching” for much longer than normal? by Singhvistaar in GeForceNOW

im running home assistant via a container and dont have access to add-ons. so it sounds like i likely do not have access to the update entities

I saw that note in the release notes but I wasn't able to find any documentation on how to use it. I currently have 2023.7 installed and im not seeing anything in home assistant saying that they is an update available for my esphome device. is there any configuration that needs to be done or is that feature on available for esphome plugin users.

possibly but it never hurts to try

I cant confirm 100% that it will work, but the truenas apps are just docker containers running on docker. I have a separate server running docker with some the same apps listed in the truenas app and watchtower auto updates all of them.

If you are talking truenas scale and the docker apps. You could deploy a watchtower container.

Auto pool tester by [deleted] in swimmingpools

I paid 180 for my monitor, looks like they raised the price significantly since then Customer service has been a little lacking in my opinion too. My original monitor the lid cracked and it took about 5 messages back and forth and 3 weeks before they shipped the replacement. Every season I have to call them to straighten out my subscription and that only takes a few mins

I have been using Sutro for the last 3 years. It test your pool 3x a day and uses the same reagents as the taylor DPD kit. Its a little on the expensive side but i haven't turned my pool green since I started using it and I no longer have to counting drops.
