Imagine less off a proper BOD and more of a 3D Printable holder for 3.5 inch drives and no actual connections.

I was considering a mini ITX PC with just an external SAS to Sata PCI card. But at the rate of just building that I might end up just building a better tiny nas box with maybe a jonsbo case like the N3

That’s basically what I’m going for.

How are you connecting the mini PC via SATA and how are you powering the BOD?

We don’t generally fuck cloacas…

Have you ever…

Why do those trees have cloacas

Its probably a parent company situation.

Lots of corpo structures are just large parent companies that actually just own a bunch of smaller companies so that the parent company gets the profits while the smaller companies make the risky products and can be bankrupted at any minute.

The company I work for does that. We just bought a couple companies that were competitors in a risky but profitable market. The full idea is that if one company gets sued to oblivion, we let that company die, move all the employees and customers to the backup company, and call it a day.

Capitalism baby!

Probably why they didn’t do it in the first place.

They barely pay for moderation. Who is going to pay for that survey? And also why would they? Obviously most of the people on that site are under 18. That’s when I used it.

What other demographic clicks the horny ads they run?

The classic

offers to recycle

actually installs esoteric Linux distros

Classic!

If not classes, some homie who’s an ex combat vet who’s not certified because they don’t want to give the feds or the NRA any money.

I’ve paid the fascists for their classes and its nothing special. I can save you a Sunday and several Friday afternoons and at least $300 in training with these blog posts I wrote.

Do you fear technology

Oh yes! Greatly!

Windows

Ah, a different kind of fear was meant…

Asphalt holds up shockingly good considering it has to support fucking Semi trucks and recreational semi trucks.

A 4060ti has been out long enough that you’re fine with basically any main stream distro.

I think even the 50 series is fine now with most mainstream distros as well.

I still prefer arch based distros now for Nvidia cards and honestly, Fedora is great!

I actually don’t even care about AI Ethics here.

Fuck Academic Dishonesty!

I usually follow the craft computing video whenever I have to set it up. He has a document in the description with all the things you might need to passthrough a GPU but only like half are needed to passthrough an HBA

Proxmox wiki has a more concise guide IMO

It was really simple to do in Proxmox.

You will find no name brand HBAs in IT mode on eBay for half the price of Intel, Supermicro, Dell, Etc branded ones. Do not buy the no names. I spent a week flashing and reflashing some cheap one, cycling through cables, etc. Nothing.

My supermicro branded one worked absolutely no issue. And I think it was like $40

It probably took a total of 30 minutes to pass it through and build the VM and everything. It took a couple days to rebuild my data from my previous truenas server but I had 10 TB of data on 4 drives.

The only issues I’ve had have been my own reading comprehension in setting up truenas accounts.

Are you using truenas as the entire homelab?

I also love messing with stuff until it breaks and I learn something, but I’ve decided I just want my files to be accessible.

So I actually have truenas virtualized with a passed through HBA so I can run proxmox to host all my breakable VMs while leaving truenas alone.

As a guy who felt the same way what 20 years ago when I played that game.

Keep it up. World needs to know.

But he did fuck up in the next campaign when he grabbed frostmourne. That was objectively a bad move.

Apparently you can turn those off but I haven’t bothered.

No because I don’t like clicking links to random sites

Folks reading way too much into this lol.

reads too much into it

The joke is they died!
