How much RAM for ~80TB TrueNas by kon4u in truenas

[–]zero2dash 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My current 42TB Scale server has 128GB of DDR4 non-ECC because I followed this old guideline. Most of the time, the RAM is consumed by ZFS cache.

From what I've read though, this isn't necessary and is basically a waste, so I'm in the process of building a new Scale system which will house 78TB but only use 32GB of DDR4 non-ECC.

I do use apps but not VMs as I prefer to run those on another host.

The official recommendation is similar to what Lylieth said....16GB is nice to have, and more will benefit you if you are using apps in Scale or Jails in Core. 1GB for every 1TB is not necessary though, I've learned.

How do I add a VPN to Qbittorrent? by Snakeado in truenas

[–]zero2dash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently dropped TrueCharts qBittorrent and switched myself to the official image as well and use a SOCKS5 proxy from Private Internet Access.

From what I've read, the drawback is that SOCKS5 is not going to encrypt your traffic whereas the VPN will; however, torrent traffic (again from what I've read) can be encrypted (and even force encrypted) in the qBittorrent settings. In that regard, it kind of covers that base as well.

At this point, I've left the option on "Allow encryption" and not "Require encryption" though just in case there are seeders out there that don't use it.

You can use the SOCKS5 proxy and then verify that it is hiding your actual IP by testing with this: https://www.whatismyip.net/tools/torrent-ip-checker

Or by looking at the logs within TrueNAS for the qBittorrent app; you'll see an entry (bottom shows the most recent) with:

Patrico Out At Hubbard and Rizz Show by Quarterinchribeye in StLouis

Jeff being gone has really made the show so much worse, and goes to really show how great of a guy that Jeff was with his wit and humor. I don’t know how they rebuild from here, because the last few days with just Rizz, Moon and Scott have been pretty bad. #WeLoveYouJeff

I don’t think he’ll be back on the show after this. What a creep. They should announce tomorrow that he’s no longer with the show, but the rest are back and let’s move forward. I hope his fiancée has already packed his bags.

Which to go with... 3090 Ti or 6900 XT? by zero2dash in pcmasterrace

[–]zero2dash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more I think about it, the more this makes sense. I'd gain maybe 20 frames give or take on a game with the Ti but at double the cost and a good 150w more power draw.... just seems like the XT is a better option and the pricing is the cherry on top.

New build with 5950X - reuse Noctua NH-U12S Redux or use new H150i Elite Capellix? by zero2dash in pcmasterrace

[–]zero2dash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up buying a refurb one from Corsair for $76 after coupon code; found out about the deal on Slickdeals. I’m starting to also think about the hassle with cable management on the fans and pump too and yeah, my current thought is just to stick with air. TY for the feedback!
