Yeah, I love the Hyve Zeus servers. I currently have three making up my proxmox cluster. They are great so long as you have another system for storage, as they only fit 2x 2.5" drives otherwise. I have my cluster linked to an SSD pool on trunas via 10gb for all my vm’s.

As for the GPU - Yeah, it’s too long because of the cooler. It’s possible I could get an alternative cooler, and it’s something I could look at. Although the server I bought for it has already been sent back since the gpu didn’t fit.

The NUC isn’t a bad idea, but I got a good deal on the P2000 and was hoping to utilize that. I recently started hosting plex for my in-laws, and want to get our daughter setup with an account with her going off to college. My current plex setup works fine, but as I’m adding people accessing it remotely, I just figured it would be nice to put the P2000 into play.

Omg… I’m a dummy. Thank you, stranger!

OK… I guess I’m an idiot… Where is the pre-reg on the playstore?

My first printer was a creality cr6 (kickstarter edition), and it’s been absolutely fantastic. I use my printer to solve problems mostly by designing my own parts for things. My printers really are tools to me. My cr6 doesn’t get used a lot, but I turn it on, run the auto level, and hit print. I’ve printed roughly 2000 hours with it, and I’ve had one jam, and zero failed prints (I’ve stopped a couple for various reasons, but I’ve never walked in to find a spaghetti mess). I upgraded to the community firmware, a dual drive extruder, and capricorn. Also, I print almost exclusively in PLA.

My second printer is a kingroon kp3s. I’ve printed very few parts with it. I got it as a toy, and plan to install klipper and just be able to print fast. I like the small for factor, direct drive, and linear rails. It’s a decent printer, but it’s not as “easy” as my cr6 (no ABL, and my bed seems to have a high spot right in the middle). The prints I’ve printed for testing are small, and the quality has been really good. I just haven’t had a lot of time to play with it and really dial it in.

All this said… I’d by a mk4 in a split second for my use case. Again, as a tool that I turn on every few months, prusa is a known workhorse. My only complaint with my cr6 is it’s slow… And the mk4 would take care of that.

I echo these exact thought, except it was sync for me. Without question the most used app, always first to be installed a new phone, and had the designated spot on the home screen.

Makes me sad where things are going.

Switched to Lemmy, here. Just waiting on sync for Lemmy, and I’ll be golden!!

I’m currently running pfsense, and then mikrotik and ubiquiti switched and ubiquiti AP’s. I’m slowly removing the ubiquiti switches and moving to mikrotik as I’m upgrading to 10gbe. Mikrotik switches have a reputation of being reliable, capable, and cheap-ish. So far I like them. While I love ubiquiti’s single pane of glass approach with the unifi controller, I wanted to get away from that a bit. I work in IT, and most things I encounter don’t have that… And are configured via cli and or web interface. When I built my home network I jumped into ubiquiti for the ease. Now I’m back tracking for more learning.

Random question… I dumped reddit and jumped on to Lemmy. But I keep seeing things about mastadon and kbin also. What the difference between all of them? Are they all federated and sharing the same servers?

Thank you, friend! 👍

Pay walled.

At that depth, I feel like creaking and cracking is probably common. However, I don’t think there would be any spraying as an indicator. Based on this tweet I saw earlier.

Incase anyone is wondering… Little clip of an implosion

RIP to those who parished. I think most can take solace knowing that if it turns out to be true that it was an implosion, it would have been instant, and the occupants likely felt nothing. .

Yeah… Unreal. Crazy to think you could have resurfaced… But still suffocate to death.

I think it’s as equally important to remember; A backup is not back up… Until you’ve restored from it.

Test your backups, folks.

Couldn’t agree more!! I’d absolutely love to have sync back!

I’m running Trunas. I’ve been using it for many years, and it’s been an fantastic solution for me.

As far as resources, what do you mean? It’s an older server, so Google is your friend for sure. But I’ve had zero issues sourcing parts that I may have needed.

I am ALL for this!! I was a sync pro user for years!! Miss that app now that I’m done with reddit.

There’s probably others. Just a quick off the top of my head list.

I was using a home built machine for several years as a Nas, and it was fine, but I ultimately upgraded to a Dell R510. They can be had pretty cheap, and have 12x 3.5" bays. I also added an HBA that I plug into a Lenovo sa120 (direct attached storage) I bought, for a total of 24x 3.5" drives.

I mention the sa120 because it just leads to expandability down the road for you. My r510 is one of my most favorite machines. I’m currently migrating data from 15x 4tb drives, over to 6x 10tb drives and I’m going to be shutting the DAS down to save electricity.

The r510 isn’t easy on electric usage, but it has been Rock solid for me.

Yeah, I assume most things will work, but I know Linus just recently did a video showing that they were having issues with their 10gbe nics, which was driver support within pfsense. Switched to opnsense and problem was solved. I don’t think I’ll have any issues, cause I’m using older cards anyway (connectx-2’s and connectx-3’s).

I currently have a mix of mikrotik and ubiquiti. I’ve been dumping my ubiquiti gear in favor of mikrotik, just because I want any of my switches to have at least a couple 10gbe ports, and mikrotik is cheaper that ubiquiti for the switches I need.

I haven’t had the mikrotik switches long, and I’m really only using one while I’m waiting for the rest of my 10gbe nics to arrive. But the one I’m using is quiet, and just worked (as a switch should). No surprises.
