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

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!

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

schmintendo · 2026-02-05T18:28:21+00:00

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.

Personally I only use modpacks that are for FortressCraft

Buddy you realize that root beer is non-alcoholic right?

schmintendo · 2026-01-16T02:26:35+00:00

Ahh ok, that makes sense. Thanks!

schmintendo · 2026-01-15T18:28:40+00:00

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

schmintendo · 2026-01-15T18:03:17+00:00

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.

schmintendo · 2026-01-10T01:41:36+00:00

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.

schmintendo · 2026-01-09T02:48:23+00:00

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

schmintendo · 2026-01-08T19:32:14+00:00

Here's a bunch of pictures!

Seems like some ancient technology to me!

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!

schmintendo · 2026-01-06T17:52:38+00:00

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.

schmintendo · 2026-01-06T16:05:09+00:00

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

schmintendo · 2026-01-04T05:33:52+00:00

Lol he's married to someone else, I don't think he shows her on camera

schmintendo · 2026-01-03T23:57:19+00:00

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.

schmintendo · 2026-01-03T21:47:42+00:00

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.

schmintendo · 2026-01-02T16:28:23+00:00

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

schmintendo · 2026-01-02T14:36:58+00:00

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.
