I do hope for some change in the car market, because my parents just went through the process of buying a newer vehicle recently and boy was pretty much every dealership/used car lot trip just a psychological test that felt so unnecessary. They ended up buying off of one of those no-haggle, we deliver the car to you sites and it was overall less stressful.

There was a flock of geese outside my house honking as i scrolled past this. 10/10 very immersive

My TrueNAS setup uses a used Ryzen 3200G and mATX motherboard I got off of ebay for about $100 total. Honestly, any CPU with integrated graphics should be fine, so maybe something like the Intel 8500T, which was specifically a low power SKU could also work. Unless you plan on doing a lot of video transcoding, then you might need something more powerful (or a low end GPU like the Intel Arc A310 or a Radeon 6400 to go with it)

I’m not so sure how TrueNAS Scale determines how much RAM to allocate for ZFS, but at least with Proxmox, the wiki says you want to have at least 2GiB + (1 GiB/TiB of storage) of RAM to be able to be allocated.

If you’re looking to use 2TiB of storage, that would be at least 4GiB of RAM dedicated just to ZFS cache, so 8GiB of RAM would probably suit you. You might need to get more RAM in the future if you want to go with more storage at that time.

As for a case, anything will do as long as it can hold however many hard drives you ultimately wish to put in it.

smh who would ever build a walking tank?

those random toilets are real and absolutely wild to see if you’re not from the midwest

chroot has all the power to fix it, but my mental state cant handle it

Capitalism’s going well…

nightmare

Every time I have to get a homemade pizza off of the peel and onto my baking steel i repeat the phrase “dough can sense fear” to myself. Cuz if you’re not confident, that thing is gonna stick to your peel or end up lopsided

Data brokers setting a calendar reminder for 5 years from now.

My air fryers instructions explicitly said don’t put liquids in it

“Does it have an attached garage?” “Brother does it ever”

ngl I kinda like the idea of having a house inside my shed lmao. I feel like that one “Race it, Break it, Fix it, Repeat” sign really says who the target market is.

No thanks i dont want popup ads

I always thought GPD made some cool little devices. SteamOS seems like a good fit for them

Yakuake is so great i love it lol. So convenient for little things

On the third one, looking through the Cybertruck’s manual, there’s a bit about data sharing in regards to the car’s cameras to where the car can send its camera data to Tesla if it detects an accident or some kind of incident.

These cars have a few different scenarios in which they’ll just sit there and record their surroundings. As far as I can tell, it normally saves that locally, but I guess it has the ability to send it back to Tesla. All of their cars creep me out

“Alexa, please flush my toilet” “Ok, Here’s some information about toilets” “No, Alexa, please flush my toilet! There’s no flush lever on it” “Ordering 40 packs of toilet paper”

A used i5-8500T or similar sounds pretty good, actually. Idk about Europe, but in the US you can get them second hand for like $30 on ebay. Seems like you can also find Passive coolers for that socket too on ebay, if you really want.

If you can find an ITX board that has the correct socket second hand, then you’d be good to go, and have options for expansion, if its got a pcie slot.

I’ve got a NAS built with used parts and its been fine for me so far. Its not as low power as yours, but the components were cheap enough that I could spend more on storage. And when its just idling, I don’t think it uses that much power (Never actually measured the power consumption at the plug. Its a Ryzen 3200g) but it sits at like 2% CPU usage most of the time with the host OS and 3 VMs running.

They seem like a nice family. I think they should adopt a dog

and the shareholders go WILD!!!

Why??? who thought this was a good idea?!?
