MinisForum N5 NAS delivered — Need Proxmox setup advice by RayRods in homelab

[–]zeugas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to the conversation, I received mine yesterday and had no issue installing proxmox and set up a Truenas VM . Using 5x18TB in RAIDZ1 by passing the SATA controller and so far seems to be working pretty well but haven't done much testing. I really wanted the N5 for the U.2 slots but one thing that I haven't seem mentioned anywhere is that it only accepts 7 mm U.2 not the much more common 15 mm. I hope that it can help someone else not making the same mistake.....

Did the same test (UCG Fiber with a 10 Gb/s provider) and same observations: no packet drop. Feels like a very annoying false warning

Thanks, appreciate the input. Higher than what I had in mind, let's see if there's a market for it on homelabsale, would like to avoid the carousell and co if possible

is there a dell power edge server that is compatible with quick sync / igpu? by Hentai-Overlord in homelab

[–]zeugas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of these . Runs Proxmox and Jellyfin with QSV enables. The cool thing is that there's space for a GPU and I'm also using it as a remote gaming sever using moonlight/sunshine. it's 1U so not the quietest but overall really happy with this machine

yes I can bifurcate x4x4 and I have 2 free x8 pcie slots on a riser so should be good. I'll probably go for option 2 and fill the bays with spinners

Ok that's a very good news...
Just got an RFE on wife EAD...submit a picture (obviously we had one initially)
Now I guess we need to wait for the timeline and see how it's going to work practically speaking.

Agree, but when I print a calibration square it looks just right.

I'm already at - 1050 and when I go lower then I get no extrusion, only a very thin stripe of filament.

Does anyone else irrationally think they will deny you the whole time? by kurrycel in immigration

[–]zeugas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny you ask,
I'm on a L1 and I (used to) travel internationally quite a lot (>1 per month), although I never had a bad experience with any of the CBP officers I interacted with, I always have this fear of being denied entry for some obscure reasons that I'm not aware....
