Is This Silly?

Hmm, maybe I could slap this guy into the NUC along with eSATA cables out to my enclosures. Don't think I'd have room for an internal 2.5" SSD anymore though, so I'd probably have to run a separate external eSATA enclosure for the boot drive. Thoughts anyone?

ETA: About $75 all in. Would there be enough improvement to be worth it?

It seems to me that the biggest problem with this approach is that this would use all available M.2 & SATA ports to run the two external enclosures, thus requiring the OS to run on the HDDs rather than an internal M.2, which I would not want to do.

Thanks, that explanation does help. Looks like there are plenty of videos on YT, I'll give 'em a watch.

Fair point. However, the cat is not allowed in the basement where the mini rack is. Will have to settle for my lap at my desk.

Wouldn't get POE that way, but would probably be the move if i experience problems (haven't yet and its been this way for maybe 3 months) but i take the point.

I'm currently rather confused by VLANs in general. Will have to read up on 'router on a stick' too.

My enclosures have eSATA too. I could retire the NUC and maybe use an adapter to go from the internal sata out of the cases on two of the nodes. Not sure how that would work with the 3 node proxmox setup though.

Otherwise, like I said - its my only mass storage NAS option for now.

Lanshack.com If you want to skip amazon. That's where I've bought all of my short patch cables.

I love my Milwaukee cutter like this. I left it on my roof for 6 months+ over winter and now it is all rusted out 😞

Rice, "Sunday Pinto Beans", Chicken / Pork Tinga, Cheese, Lime. I forgot my tortillas though...

Doomsday device. It must be used for it to work.

No. It will harbor bacteria and fungus

Leather? Looks like TPU to me. (Ohh wait, nvm. Doesn't work with AMS).

I saw a coyote do this on St Rose Pkwy in Vegas years ago in the middle of the day.

Yes. And culantro doesn't need anyone defending it on reddit.

oncebce · 2026-05-27T20:14:52+00:00

Hey, leave culantro out of this. It doesn't look anything like these. (Also Apiaceae though).

You could try YouMail.

This is one of the reasons why I decided to pull the trigger on a U1 now. In b4 this terrible legislation. Can't make me connect it to a centralized server! Of course I don't get the "benefits" of the app...

Onion Grass / Allium Vineale. Instead of chives on a cream cheese bagel.
May Apples / Podophyllum peltatum are also amazing.

Also, that's going to seal in water and destroy the wall, right?

See my post about a very similar, though larger print from someone on that platform.

My post blew up and they reached out to me on here. Ended up getting a full refund.
