They are sata drives.
Seagate Exos X16. 6 of them refurb is still $800.
The case is hot swap with just an hba connection so I can let zfs do it’s thing.
I like to call it a significant career change.

I don’t see “screwed the pooch” used much but it always is funny to me.
I was limited by the processor and some existing ram which basically dictated my purchases to save money.
You’re completely right though, a more modern system would be similar in price and more capable.
I blew my budget on drives and a hot swap case. The rest is easy to upgrade when the time comes.
I purchased a case, SilverStone Technology CS382 8-Bay. Around $200-225.
Bought used parts off eBay:
Asus P8Z77-M LGA 1155 DDR3 SDRAM Desktop Motherboard $75
32GB DDR3 1333 $35
LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA 9200-81 IT Mode P20 $35
Nvidia Quadro P620 2GB GDDR5 4x mini DisplayPort $70
I have six 12tb drives (seagate exos), purchased refurb from serverpartdeals.com and had great luck with them and their support. I found that on Reddit data hoarder sub.
I run Truenas. 4 drives for primary. 2 drives for backup of the first 4. And I have a qnap 4 bay dumb raid box for a third backup with old drives I had. My paranoia but not related really to the nas.
Anyway it’s possible and I enjoy what I built. Also that case is loud, get a fan controller too.
I know all the reasons I should be on Firefox, but I just love Vivaldi so much.
I’ve been using it for years and have it tuned perfectly for anything I do. It’s feature rich, and fast.
Occasionally there are apps or even tools in life where you are like holy shit, this is exactly made for how I want to do a task/job.
My gestures are so ingrained in me, sometimes I catch my hand moving the mouse to perform an action in another unrelated app. My brain notices instantly but can’t stop my hand from trying to do it anyway. It makes me laugh.
I try to always remember People, process and product. PPP. It helps remind me that the people are just like you and I, families and waking up each day to do a job. It’s so easy for things to fall apart when there aren’t the right tools or processes in place. My failures individually or as a team never left someone in outer space but I’ve had some doozies in my career.
This isn’t addressing your comment but I guess it was on my mind. I do know that the majority of people want to do their best and I feel bad for them and those affected by a company’s poor decisions.
I’m not qualified in any sense to speculate, and so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
My first thought is that there is a configuration happening to bring it home which we already knew, and there is a bug or test tone that was activated and since no one writing the code is there, they just didn’t notice it is still running.
No one wants to be on the losing side. Not that this election is a sure thing, but people shift with the wind and then tell themselves they “called” it.
I had an Intel s2600 with dual Xeon and 120 gigs of RAM. It seems like such a good idea to run that as a home server. However, the amount of power that it used because it was older was way too much.
I ended up hunting on eBay and found an old Asus motherboard, Intel chip, ram, and a pny Nvidia card.
I bought refurb hard drives from serverpartdeals and a new case from Amazon.
I recommend starting with a chassis you want and working backwards to help narrow your scope.
I know you wanted smaller but heres what I bought. SilverStone Technology CS382… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKTYSZV9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Also, I run truenas scale with a bunch of apps. Ssd z1 for os. Ssd z1 for transcode and caches. And then 4 drive set for main storage and another 4 drive set for backup of the first set.
Mildly related by the topic. I’m playing ghost recon breakpoint and a bunch of the main characters are hiding in a huge cave. My character said something like “do you have a computer?” And the NPC replied, “I live in a cave, I’m not a cave man” .
I hate it too, I need it and hate it. But it is the standard and honestly if we all switched to whatever else, we would hate that too. The mechanism isn’t the problem, imo, it’s the requirement of maintenance and monitoring.
It says nothing about spyware, the article isn’t hyped up at all, and describes a token to track installations vs downloads.
"This data will allow us to correlate telemetry IDs with download tokens and Google Analytics IDs. This will allow us to track which installs result from which downloads to determine the answers to questions like, “Why do we see so many installs per day, but not that many downloads per day?”
Also there is an opt-out during installation.
I don’t even use Firefox, and I honestly am not attacking but your comment seemed very hyperbolic and with little detail.
You’re right that it’s good to be aware of this stuff, I also don’t see this being a road block for the average user.
Every other company seems to charge for parental controls. It’s so stupid, I don’t need another fee just because I have a child in my life.
I wanted to degoogle, so I looked for a new router and ended up with an Asus.
Sorry I wasn’t clear.
Fallout 4 is beloved and buggy as hell. Cyberpunk was buggy, and still has bugs but is completely playable over and over again and with my hundreds of hours, I haven’t run into any game killing glitches.
Been playing on and off for years (beat it every way, every ending, 100% most of everything).
It’s less glitchy than fallout 4. Even if there are bugs, they are not game ending or even that difficult to move on.
The game, the dlc, the paid dlc… I thought all of it was incredible and I had an absolutely amazing time playing. I think I’m around 800 hours, but a few hundred were on stadia.
Anyway, if you’re having issues, delete it all, try again and give it a shot. The difference between release and now is large.
The dispensers are still around, just all empty. So frustrating. I’m not worried about covid but I don’t want a cold or the flu either…being sick is not fun. Let me keep my hands clean!
I do not still wear a mask, but I really loved having my face covered when I went places during covid. I just felt free. I don’t know why as I don’t have a problem going anywhere or doing anything normally, but covering my face felt good (except on 100 degree days in summer).
Based on the comments in the thread, they asked it to repeat before actually having it say anything so it repeated the directives.
There’s a whole bunch of comments relocating it with chat logs.
I don’t know what I expected. Nothing can just be fun anymore.
I come into a comments section to read and maybe find something interesting and we have police brutality jokes, political bullshit, mean comments.
It confuses me that people are thinking about this stuff all the time and trying to jam their misery into everything.
Downvote me, up vote me, I don’t care but I am just so tired of being forced to think about all the bullshit in the world every day all at once. It’s inescapable.
DON’T DATE ROBOTS!
