As always, I got the username wrong…
That website is an excellent resource, but they can’t just expect everyone to have money for a pixel, even if privacy is a priority for me and many people, a pixel is just beyond the reach of the large majority of internet users.
Instead they need to make a curated list of less than ideal but still better than stock alternatives, or else people will just give up and get stock android instead.
For now, get ready for chat control…
I don’t know, never tried anything like that, I just plug the fans to the 12v voltage rail and leave them full power all the time.
Maybe you can use the raspberry pi gpio to control the fan and get drive temperature via smart to control the fan speed.
I used to run my nas from a raspberry pi with an USB to Sata bridge, but I found that USB cables are as always super unreliable and keep disconnecting and eventually I get filesystem errors, had to format and restore from backup.
I ended up repurposing an old i3 computer as nas. Which worked well for few years until I was scrubbing the harddrives this summer and one of the harddrives died, when I took it off it was super hot. So I learned that having front fans blowing air directly to the hardrives is important so they don’t overheat. I’m not sure if external cases have enough air circulation.
So maybe you could consider the overall reliability of the system and temperature of the harddrive, electricity can be expensive but an 8TB harddrive surely is more. Also you say you want no fan, so that makes things harder, maybe you can use the raspberry pi just as a client and have a big noisy NAS made from some old computer somewhere else in the house? And maybe have it so it wakes up on LAN when it’s being used and powered down when it’s not to safe power?
Nice corporate ad…
I would rather “despair” with a community based distro than using capitalistware were that graph true, however my Arch machine works perfectly fine and have no need to do so. On the other hand corporate distros…
OMG! I’ve been looking for something like this for quite some time!
I will try this as soon as I have time. Thank you!
Idk what year that pic was taken, but 2GB of ram is useless no matter what operating system you put on it.
Except ofc for a home nas, but as a desktop, the user is going to open Firefox, try to open a website, it will take minutes to load and the user just wasted $20
Block or revert updates or install via adb/shizuko if that still works. Otherwise I will have to start saving for an expensive phone that supports custom ROMs.
