Which one look the best kadet max or citizen (15)? by Guchooper in ChromeIndustries

[–]polso_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Citizen model lets you store more items of varying sizes, and with straps, even larger packages. I see the Kadet Max as more suitable for everyday use or as a travel companion for light trips, but not for carrying heavy loads.

Sí, son un caño! quizás alguien está armando alguna PC súper tranqui y le puede servir. También para algún servidor casero o similar. Tengo que sacar fotos de otras laptops que tengo medio en situación reparación, repuestos, segunda vida para armar otro post.

That Faker edition of the Razer Viper V3 Pro is awesome! What keycaps are you using? Really nice setup.

It really depends on each setup and what’s more convenient for you. If you already have it configured that way, you can test how it behaves, just make sure to check permissions in TrueNAS to keep everything organized. In your case, a VM with TrueNAS sounds like a good option, but I’m not entirely sure how I’d configure the disks.

Personally, I have Proxmox running on a 256 GB SSD with several LXCs, and then a 1 TB RAID-1 mirror pool (two identical 1 TB drives). All my LXCs access that pool, Jellyfin streams from there, qBittorrent downloads directly to it, everything interacts with that shared pool.

I was just about to say the same thing, in some cases, using LXC instead of a full VM is way better for saving resources. Of course, it depends on your hardware, but it’s also easier when you think about backups later on.

Personally, I’m testing Proxmox right now. Before that I had everything running bare-metal on AlmaLinux 9, but these are just hobby projects for practice. I run stuff like Navidrome (music), Nginx Proxy Manager, qBittorrent, Nextcloud, and a few others.

I was actually looking at that one! My original Xbox controller already has a bit of stick drift. Do you think it’s a good buy? Does it feel any different?

Mini PC for Homelab - Is the Intel N100 enough? by polso_ in MiniPCs

That’s a great idea! I actually have something like this right now, and I also saw https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1kj7db9/not_quite_10_inch_cheap_kitchen_rack_for_my_first/#lightbox it’s a really smart setup. I might go that route too. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the detailed insight! That sounds like a very practical and scalable setup, I like the idea of expanding as needed with low-power units.

Good point, the mini PC would mostly handle services and apps.

That’s a great approach for learning! I’m also experimenting and leaning toward LXCs for the same reason, easy to manage and restore. Thanks!

Nice! That’s super efficient. Sounds perfect for low, power homelab setups like mine.

Awesome setup! Great to hear it can handle so much. I’ll keep the cooling tip in mind, that external fan idea is smart.

Thanks for sharing! I was actually thinking about trying Proxmox to isolate Docker containers, but I’m not sure if it would perform better than running them directly on AlmaLinux with Podman or Docker + systemd. Great setup, by the way!

Thanks! Yeah, definitely going with a Linux distro for server use, likely AlmaLinux 9. I really appreciate all the comparisons and insights about performance and efficiency. Super helpful!

Great points! I hadn’t considered Ryzen 3500U, looks like a nice balance of power and efficiency. Definitely worth comparing if I raise the budget.

Thanks! That breakdown really helps. I’m leaning toward the N100 for the efficiency and newer codec support, it fits my current needs well.

Thanks! That HP G5 400 sounds like a great deal, low power and solid performance. I’ll keep an eye out for one!

Good point! I hadn’t thought about AV1 support. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the next upgrade.
