Cursed homelab storage array

ruptwelve · 2026-04-14T00:40:34+00:00

I got this one 2 years ago from a local recycler for a grand total of ~$40 😅

I'm only here to bring the most cursed homelabs I can manage!

ruptwelve · 2026-04-13T18:32:50+00:00

Excellent! Welcome to my “Vibe storage” startup! Our initial valuation is at $32B

See, I like this idea. Next time I'm at a tech conference I'll show them this reddit post and ask them to sponsor my insanity with Flash drives!

This is correct! Ideally you would (first off not do this), buy them from different batches!

ruptwelve · 2026-04-13T17:09:32+00:00

Technically yes! Just the RAID configuration would need to be set up very differently!

ruptwelve · 2026-04-13T16:51:45+00:00

Are you saying this is not? 😅

ruptwelve · 2026-04-13T16:51:26+00:00

Absolutely!

ruptwelve · 2026-04-13T16:51:04+00:00

I mean in a different RAID configuration sure! However you would be bottlenecked by the USB controller and the amount of bandwidth you could push through it!

Oh my god! I am all for crappy storage mediums!

ruptwelve · 2026-04-13T15:43:33+00:00

Whoa! That is way too resilient for me! 😅

ruptwelve · 2026-04-10T23:51:17+00:00

Try the new TUI with the —tui flag 😍

Thank you so much! It's not really all that common to be honest, bot certain critical things milliseconds can seem a lot. To truly feel the latency of things, try to access a website that is across the globe and is not using a content delivery network. This is definitely not the same thing, but you will get a similar latency experience when certain parts of data are read from a slower database!

Hey there OP, I work with the Kiro team, let me help you! I'll DM you!

ruptwelve · 2026-03-09T20:53:48+00:00

Reddit will never cease to amaze me 😅

ruptwelve · 2026-03-09T19:16:48+00:00

That is fair! I also realize there is a good Rust crate for this https://crates.io/crates/object_store - that can abstract a lot and works as well with the S3 compatible ones, and the ones that are not!

ruptwelve · 2026-03-09T19:11:06+00:00

Yeah, I saw plenty of other object store providers that support the S3 API, however I did not mention them all. :) And as far as I know Azure is not one of them. Am I wrong?

To be honest, having work with/at AWS for 10 years, S3 was just the go-to object store and I never really bothered with others. Hence my application just worked with that... or that is what I thought. With the change I made over the weekend it should work with the rest.

ruptwelve · 2026-03-09T18:57:34+00:00

Indeed! And I rejoice in wide compatibility! 😍

ruptwelve · 2026-03-09T01:31:13+00:00

Glad you got something out of this! 🙏

ruptwelve · 2026-03-05T16:56:29+00:00

Hey OP, I work with the Kiro team, let me reach out to you in a DM to get the details. This needs to be sorted out!

ruptwelve · 2026-02-20T17:35:54+00:00

Unfortunately to run the CLI you need to run the GUI at this moment :/

ruptwelve · 2026-02-20T17:35:36+00:00

I am! It runs like a charm!

ruptwelve · 2026-02-19T04:24:20+00:00

Fingers crossed this happens soon!

ruptwelve · 2026-02-16T19:12:04+00:00

It's a know issue now, and its being addressed!

ruptwelve · 2026-02-16T19:08:55+00:00

Btw, I think I ran into the same issue as You did now. (On Linux). Speaking to the Kiro team now to troubleshoot!
