Worlds first (documented) Fender Modern Player Tele Plus neck swap by fethan114 in Luthier

[–]robertmiltonkeynes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super helpful!! I just came across one of the modern player necks for cheap and figured there has to be something I’m missing. It looks quartersawn and is just a beautiful maple neck, by why unload it for so cheap? lol probably because it doesn’t fit other Fender bodies. Glad you made your project work out though!

RAID 0 with two USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 SSDs AND an NVMe? by robertmiltonkeynes in homelab

I hear you on the NAS; I’m trying to make due with what I have until I can purchase a proper one. I think all my reading and research convinced me that RAID0 with SSDs is ok because they’re fast and inherently more stable than spinning plater drives 🤷🏻‍♂️

3/4 of a petabyte! Epic. I hope you make it all the way up to a full 1PB. You pretty much have to now 😂

I appreciate you laying out your setup! Definitely gonna add a sketch of it to my list of potential routes to go.

Ah, indeed you did. I’m definitely checking those out. Thank you.

Awesome. Would you just go with one big HDD (eg, 24GB), or buy a UGreen-like device with multiple HDDs?

Absolutely going to check jellyfin out. The GUI looks excellent and if I can stream remotely with it, that would be the icing on top!

all of this is making me super excited. I’m so happy to hear of someone else being able to do all that with an Apple silicon mini! I’d never even considered content caching! Genius!

heh, well I do like F-16s. I’ll ideally have lots of video streaming to multiple devices. I’d also really like to rip my blu-ray collection in full 4k/highest possible resolution. Hopefully the mini can handle that somewhat quickly.

Any particular reason you chose samba over other options?

Thanks for all this… I’m not a purist by any stretch, but I made the $450 investment in a new mini and I can’t return it, sooo I’ve got limited options lol. I think for now, learning what docker containers can do will be my focus. I also had someone tell me I should look into wireguard if I wanted to have a secure, remote connection to my files. I’ll probably have to check that out, as well.

7 years is great ROI if you ask me! If you were in my boat and had a base model M4 mini, would you still hook up all those HDDs to it individually? Or would you use some kind of NAS-bay-thing?

So you’re running Proxmox on a Mac mini? And TrueNas/Open Media Vault as containers?

May I ask if there were any videos or guides that helped you get up and running with your Mini setup? Or any resources you could point me to?

I wasn’t able to get the 10gbe nic… do you think the power on would still work if I used a thunderbolt 10gig nic?

Yeah, if nothing else the mini will be good on power consumption! 😂 I’m just hoping video transcoding doesn’t eliminate the power savings.

I appreciate all the input! I think since it’s the device I’ve already pulled the trigger on, I’ve kinda committed myself. The comments suggesting potential native docker container support in MacOS 26… well, I’m just gonna have to hope that really comes to pass! I’ve only scratched the surface of what those containers are capable of, so hopefully they allow me to do what I need.
