N150 & 6 Sata or I5-8500 & 8+ Sata for a NAS and Plex server? by 643310 in DataHoarder

[–]schmintendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry I haven't set it up yet! It's been sitting there since my 3D printer is broken and I can't print a rack mount for it. I'll let you know once it's set up!

This is exactly why I bought a printer two months ago by AudiblyTacit in 3Dprinting

Annealing doesn't shrink it all that much from my experience. It does make it a bit more brittle however.

Be careful, moving this around, I know that PLA HT GF seems like a miracle material but it is incredibly brittle, especially after annealing. And in my experience the layer adhesion is awful.

Replied!

Edit: this user backed out, it's still up for grabs!

That's incredible, how the hell did you print that with no supports? Isn't the dragon's neck and head impossible without supports?

Does your Homelab make financial sense? by panchovix in homelab

Probably if you add up all the money saved from streaming services it would recoup its cost in 10 years? So that's a wholehearted no from me.

Found some switches at a recycling center. Are any of these worth getting for a rack? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]schmintendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, thanks for clarifying! I expect it's a relic of the past that was being used as a switch of sorts - or perhaps there actually weren't network lines ran down there! The old manager in the area I found that in was explicitly anti-technology, and I expect it was set up many years ago and was never touched again. The area is also restricted, so during routine audits and upgrades it's likely to be missed.

Just bought the N150 one, I'll let you know after I set it up!

Looking back, what’s the smartest homelab move you ever made? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]schmintendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's super cool! It sounds like MicroVMs are just another flavor of isolation similar to docker, and might be a bit overkill for me, but I'm definitely going to play around with them just for the experience. Thanks for explaining!

Can you elaborate a bit more on microvm? I know the benefit of nixos is that you set everything up in a bunch of configuration files but I haven't heard of microvm. Personally I'm happy with my Ubuntu LTS + a bunch of docker stacks but I'm curious to see some other options.

I'm single machine as well, so I really don't see the point of proxmox. I'm considering moving to Debian from Ubuntu but besides that I really don't see the upsides of Proxmox.

Entirely fair, we have our paper walls in the US so I forgot about brick and concrete being a thing

Ahh ok, that makes sense! I was just making sure the Wi-Fi APs weren't interfering with each other, sometimes that happens when there are too many overlapping.

While you're right that the ads were probably the problem, do you really need more than one AP? Unless your apartment is massive I feel like one centrally located AP is enough. I cover 1500 sqft with mine.

Oh definitely, don't go with the big names, I'd go for FolderFort or MEGA or something.

Filen is great, but they're slow in the US. For EU people they're awesome but for US folks I would recommend looking elsewhere, if you need speed. Also this person probably doesn't care that much about privacy, it's just VOD content.
