It’s the plastic lower, isn’t it?
Close enough.
I’d like to see such a map for mass shootings in the U.S.
The requirements for a media server mesh well with a NAS and *arr suite and other light loads. Low CPU demand, some RAM demand, integrated GPU if you need transcoding and that’s it.
They are wildly different from generative AI. For good performance, you’ll want a decent GPU with loads of VRAM or brute force with raw CPU power and RAM. If you care about power draw at all, you don’t want this on 24/7/365. Why not build a cool gaming rig and use it for AI? As a bonus, now you have a cool gaming rig with your AI machine!
I am just starting so take this not as a recommendation but as an option. I am familiar with Linux but do not work in IT.
I got myself a used desktop as a starting point. It can handle 2x 3.5” drives, one 2.5”, plus an NVMe. You could buy an adaptor and change the DVD drive for another 2.5” caddy, but more on that later. It came with 8GB of RAM, but it can handle 64. I spent something like $250 including cables, bolts, caddies, but not drives.
If you watched the video, you’ll notice the CPU has video transcoding acceleration and encryption acceleration too. It comes out ahead of modern N100 CPUs being widely used for home NAS these days, and draws a minuscule amount of power while idle. Indeed, most of the idle power draw for my machine comes from the drives.
So pros:
Cons:
For software, I’m using TrueNAS scale. It’s easy to install and configure, there’s good documentation and a support forum, can run docker containers and VMs. Lots of administration quality of life tools built in that you don’t need to build. Plus it’s Linux and I can tinker with it if the need arises.
To get to what you want, you could install an M.2 A+E to SATA adaptor and a slim DVD to 2.5” caddy to come up to 4 drives, add memory, a multiport multigigabit NIC, an NVMe and 4 drives and you’d be set. VMs for your firewall, VPN, pihole, dockers for the rest.
Conectiva Linux in late nineties came with Window Maker as default. That’s old school as they come.
What’s the IKEA name for this?
I’m pretty sure enano means dwarf in Spanish. Not that it’s an issue.
Wax paper isn’t recyclable and putting paraffin in landfills isn’t great. Regular brown paper in a freshly made local bakery is quite fine, though.
The 2.5 unit I have runs cooler and consumes less power. It’s also more expensive.
And all of them will jump ship.
Nazi doctors found out a lot about the human body by torturing them and/or treating them inhumanely.
That is a myth. The documentation left behind by them had little to no scientific rigor, and basically nothing of value was gained from it. The situation was even worse on the Japanese side, where even the visiting nazis thought they were going too far and, again, nothing of value was gained.
You build houses your whole life, do they call you Joe the House Builder? No, of course not. But you fuck ONE goat…
We are not stuck to DEC VT100 terminals anymore. It’s okay to have 100 columns of code. And wasting 10% of that space for each indentation? What are you smoking?
Who sings blinding lights?
I’m not disputing any of that. I’m disputing the advertisement on a TIL community.
Sometimes yes, often not. But I can tell apart Brits, Oceanian, American, African and Indian most of the time. I have a hard time telling apart Scots and Irish, mainly because I can’t understand a thing they say at all.
Flip it for cash.
