I am currently in the final phase of building my first own built NAS.

(I have an oooooold Intel NAS, that I don’t really use anymore…)

I need to populate the case with storage drives, I need to add an Intel GPU, a 10gbit NIC, and possibly add an HBA to add two SSDs for VM storage.

Currently I have a:

• Jonsbo N4 case
• Asrock B550m Pro4
• AMD Ryzen 4600G
• 32GB RAM
• Kingston boot SSD
• Corsair SF750 PSU

I am running TrueNAS on it, that was just installed to make sure that it is working, but I am planning on running it going forward, as I am mostly looking to run the server as a filserver.

Fans and pumps don’t have any moving parts any longer?

I leave my work machine on constantly, but am very careful and shut down my home machine when I go to bed.

It just feels wrong to leave it powered up.

You don’t really need a self hosted app, you can write a script to do the following:

1. Check if file X exists.
2. If file X does exist, delete it
3. If file X doesn’t exist, delete directory Y

Then create a new scheduled task to run the script every week.

The result is that you have a deadman switch with a weeks delay

Unless you recreate file X every week, directory Y will be deleted.

This is a very simplistic example, but it would be decently difficult to figure out.

I am a hobby photographer and usually take a few hundred GBs of photos every year (I shoot in JPG+RAW), I have other media as well, but I am mainly concerned about my photos.

I have them currently saved to a single HDD in my computer, which has worked ok, but I have seen bitrot in some files…

So I was reliable storage, currently thinking of a zraid1 with four normal disks, one parity, one hot spare and one cold spare, I am looking for it to last a minimum of ten years with normal maintenance.

I will probably put 64GB ram in the server, and possibly an SSD cache over time

I am currently building a home server, this project timeline has been extended as I had no idea hard drives would be THAT expensive at the capacities I want…

I do have an old computer that is not in use, but I don’t want to run a Bulldozer plattform…

So I am basing my new server on the AMD Ryzen 4600G, should be fine

If that is the GZ version, what would the BZ2 and XZ versions look like

Interesting, I have to look into that, I am taking it slow, and will buy storage drives over a few months to spread the cost out, so I have time to think about it

I am also working on building a new NAS, I didn’t realize it was going to be so damned expensive though…

Currently I am thinking of going for ZFS with six drives, four pure storage, one parity and one hot spare, I would also need another drive as a cold spare…

I am interested in ZFS due to it’s bitrot protection, I have already seen some of my photos affected by bitrot…

KF?

I wonder how well that would run on a 700MHz ARM CPU with a maximum of 512 MB RAM…

I don’t agree that these are an eyesore, they are not as pretty as a tree, no, but disgustingly ugly? Nah.

Seems like a decent idea if you have an over developed location where you can’t plant a tree.

This is the first time I am hearing about that site, I have just not been in the scene much… could it be a temporary problem?

Yeah, this is my impression as well.

There is a clear link on the store page to go to the warranty info, if OP didn’t read it or understood it before buying, this is on them, not Valve.

Ok, but what was the cause they diagnosed?

Sounds fantastic, I hope that you can find a community like that again.

Vetting the post history is probably the only realistic way of doing it, it is time consuming, I am sad that it is needed, but if that is what it it takes it is at least doable.

I wish you and all women online good luck in finding a community like that, everyone needs a good community to enjoy!

There is no resonable way to do that.

The only way I could see it being done while perserving some kind of anonymity would be to have a defederated instance, where members are invite-only, where members can invite their friends to join, there by verifying that there are no men joining.

Unfortunately, there is no good way of verifying the gender of a person that you don’t meet outside of a forum.

What about the CPU and RAM?

I don’t really see the benefit of allowing users to create files with the same name in the same directory, yeah, yeah I know that case sensitivity means that it isn’t same name, but imagine talking to a user, guiding them to open the file /tmp/doc/File and they open /tmp/doc/file instead
