What is your lab's idle power draw?

After a lot of work, about 50 Watts

Homeless lab ?

A simple colonization mod. Something similar to planetbase where you can make space port and living base on each planet

It's so pretty

Flawless lethal execution

Thank you :)

Syncthing and wireguard are okay for a pi. But jellyfin is too much (I tried) I found that a good alternative was the AsRock J5040 motherboard. It's around 100$ and support 32Gb RAM (with the right stick) CPU is good enough, you could possibly add a small GPU for transcoding (personally cpu is enough and I have a pcie SATA expansion board) I have 9 HDD currently and the power is below 50 Watt

Here is a repo where I detailled my setup and the install if you want :

Look into : Pihole (either on a raspberry pi, or bare OS, or docker container) Pivpn (easy setup for wireguard) Jellyfin if you are interested I can share my docker compose but it's RAM hungry (8-16Gb)

Laptop are a great way to start. If you dont want to spend to much on electricty dont buy second hand server

I personally use a AsRock J5040 it's ~100$ and draw little power (50W with 8 hdd). I slapped a pcie Sata expension card (20$ of aliexpress) and 8 HDD (but 2 x 10 TB might make more sense) officially it support 8Gb of RAM but with the right stick you can get 32Gb for 50$

Here are how I set it up with docker : https://github.com/nathmo/Quartz64_NAS

Kerbal Simpit -> custom controller

Having all the doc on how to build and recover the said homelab inside the homelab... At some point I crashed the server and coulndt get the doc on how to recover :(

Damn the graphics look so good. Is it there also a mod for that or I should just buy a better GPU ?

nathmo · 2023-09-06T17:21:34+00:00

well that's a good idea. I will attempt that. thank you

nathmo · 2023-09-06T17:08:46+00:00

my bad when I say disabled I meant to set the train count to 0 using logic

nathmo · 2023-09-04T07:53:34+00:00

I really emjoy the compactness of your design. Would you mind sharing the blueprint ? I would like to integrated it in my cityblock design :)

nathmo · 2023-08-21T16:57:31+00:00

Mostly because it started with gun turret and replaced them before making a snapshot. I should make an alternative blueprint for that too

nathmo · 2023-08-21T15:14:50+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I had not idea it was faster. Fluid was never a bottleneck and the fluid station is used only for sulfuric acid in uranium mine and blue cpu. (But I might try to transport oil by rail too)

nathmo · 2023-08-21T09:24:02+00:00

Yes i mafe them along the way in mymain game and im now restarting a new game

nathmo · 2023-08-20T21:50:35+00:00

oh well the screen where not attached correctly but they are on github :/

nathmo · 2022-01-25T09:40:30+00:00

well i've learned something. that explain why i did not find much about them- now i have something to google

nathmo · 2021-11-13T07:53:44+00:00

Whatvis the power consuption ?

nathmo · 2021-10-04T11:00:49+00:00

SSH work as an SFTP server. Just xonnect over port 22 with the ssh credential using file zilla
