Cowards. Have some teeth. These corporations should be held accountable. They don’t need the extra money, we’re already being charged enough as-is.

LSI has really good compatibility with TrueNAS and any Linux system tbh.

Wraith is fine. I have mine installed and it’s dead quiet. If you don’t like the noise, you can always get a 15-25$ USD aftermarket cooler, brands like ThermalRight and Cooler Master come to mind.

Your part list is extremely similar to my main home server. You’ll do just fine with the hardware you’ve selected. It is a GREAT starting point.

For context I have been running an AMD 5600g alongside 32gb gskill ddr4 RAM since covid, tho back then it was a 2600x paired with an ancient FirePro for graphics. Boot drive is m.2 ssd and I have 4 hand-me-down enterprise HDDs for storage. (I originally was using whatever spinning rust I already had on-hand at that time, but I have replaced them since)

You’d think somebody in upper management would be smart enough to push back - actually I should just stop there. Nobody in upper management thinks. They just go where the money is, and rely on time to fix whatever damaged the brand’s reputation.

Fox news is not real news. It’s heavily right-leaning and designed to get the American people riled up over the wrong reasons.

Pardon my stupidity BUT why include stdout to Devnull? Why not omit and simply ‘du -sh /home’

Oh dang. That’s pretty cool!

While these points are valid, I feel for a homelab, one would want a headless system running *nix vs OS X.

Also, it doesn’t help that there is no bootcamp for ARM, least not that I’m aware. Because if that was the case, then yes running ARM64-based distros/software would be great. I’d actually love to see how the M1 runs ARM server software :)

I had one 2 netgear WiFi AC routers that failed back to back, tho the first one ran for 10 years without trouble. When it died, the replacement was just… Awful. A direct downgrade in every aspect. Performance, wifi coverage was gARBAGE , it would reboot constantly, and the management ui was Fisher Priced to death. I got the Dream Machine BC it was on sale and they were about to roll out the new Dream Router. Never looked back.

Everyone in this thread is complaining about their short-lived UniFi devices, meanwhile I have two dream machines (the original WiFi 5 sol’n, not the rack mounted variant) that have had zero issues and are still running 24/7. I guess I should count my stars. (They replaced multiple failed netgear routers).

Because of course they would.

I wanted to provide feedback for THIS part only. :) not for OPs issue. I would have responded to OPs post if that were the case…

This but put the entries in /etc/fstab instead.

Oh i haATE using the touchscreen during the winter. Absolute bollucks.

Car has one and it only controls dash lights but good call anyways :)

This looks pretty interesting. I have been passively looking for such a service. I will give this a whirl and try it out.

Agreed. Touchscreens are such a safety hazard. The idea of having a bloody oversized iPad controlling everything in your car is an absolutely shittastic design.

My current car has a stupid 7 inch touchscreen and its bright af even at the lowest bright/contrast settings. Yes it has dark mode. Yes it’s enabled at nighttime - which is when I do most of my driving - and YES it’s still wayy too fuckin bright. So i have it display off perma, no need for that shit to distract me whiel im driving.

Fortunately the touchscreen only controls radio, media, and settings. HVAC and other mission-critical shits are relegated to tactile buttons and knobs. Additionally, the steering wheel has media controls and other buttons, which basically make the touchscreen useless as the wheel does the same crap as the screen, except it doesnt blind me at night.

Unfortunately, it’s getting increasingly more difficult to find a car that doesn’t have this junk built-in, unless you get a used car from the mid-to-late 2000s or even the 2010s. (And then you have more shit to worry about, but at least its all mechanical vs computer in nature!)

Keeping it classy (obvs this is satire…)

Why not both?
