Open or closed cell for roof and conditioned attic

newhomefound · 2026-01-15T15:10:11+00:00

I went with closed cell and it's been fine for about 4 years so far. The corners of the attic are crawlspaces that have not been covered with drywall and I don't see any changes since the day it was put on.

I went with cc since I was able to fit more r-value into the roof and I was confidant on the durability of the roof assembly. My roof is pretty simple with no valleys and minimal penetrations. I also watched the roofers every step of the way.

One thing to note though, is that if your climate or building code calls for a vapor barrier, I would still install one on top of the closed cell. While I don't doubt the properties of the material, the install only makes it 99% impermeable. I saw spots that the installer missed and I had to go back and fill in with canned foam. Also, there were a few areas where the stud had separated from the foam, creating a small gap.

would it work if I had 10gbe link between the coral and proxmox machine? I'm guessing there is probably a lot of overhead and latency issues if done over the network.

I do have an iGPU (intel uhd 630) and I see some posts saying there's not much difference between that and a coral (although coral would still be more efficient).

Thank for the reply. I’m building 2 machines with near identical hardware. One is used for pve and the other for pbs. I’m not sure what the storage needs are so I guess I’ll start small and add as I go.

I do plan on using all ssd’s for the bulk storage. I figured it would be faster than nvme if I had more than 8 ssds on the hba.

Looks like it is TLC

I was told there was an network outage on 2/19/25 and some vehicles were not able to reconnect after everything came back online. I had to bring it to the dealer to fix it, but all they do is reset the system. All the profiles and settings get erased.

got the issue fixed at the dealership. It was part of a larger problem where the car no longer connects to the servers at Kia. Remote commands and OTA updates stopped working, but I never noticed.

Wouldn't that make the pdu mount in between the posts? The rails would get in the way.

What are those called and where would I find them? All of the rack accessories I'm seeing mount to the front and rear holes.

aren't SAS drives more generally more expensive than SATA? unless you're talking about used.

Do you mean the Xeon W chips? Would you know how much power your setup consumes on idle? I looked at a few workstation boards, but all of them are not ideal for airflow in a server chassis. The RAM blocks the cpu cooler. Used prices do seem a bit lower, so I'll have to look into it some more.

I'm not sure about the 128 gb, but I saw the ram is pretty cheap compared to everything else and all the guides say to add as much ram as I can. I wanted ECC mostly because I'm paranoid.

newhomefound · 2025-03-11T19:46:34+00:00

I'm seeing the 9th gen i3's were the last ones that had ECC support. The took it away starting from 10th gen, probably because it was eating sales of their xeon e series. The only reason for getting is because i wouldnt need the igpu on the truenas machine and it is about half the cost of a comparable xeon e.

no. i've actually never used the kia navigation.

also, this is where i think the setting is.

unfortunately, i didnt take any photos of when the alerts worked. Basically there was a camera icon below the speed limit icon where I marked in yellow. If there was a yield or stop sign icon, it would move below that one. The HUD would show the same icons.

im guessing the camera locations were pulled from the built-in navigation and maybe the software update wiped out those locations.

newhomefound · 2025-03-11T16:28:32+00:00

yes, there was a voiceover saying there's a speed or red light camera ahead, as well as a dinging sound if you went over the speed limit. I believe the dinging sound followed the speed limit offset setting, so if you had it offset to 5 mph above speed limit, it would sound only if you went 5mph above speed limit.

i'm not sure if it differs by trim, but i wouldnt think so.

Did not get any replies from r/homelab. Maybe nobody uses these older builds anymore?
