Raid1 that thing and sleep easier. Good on you for having a cold spare, and knowing to buy your drives at different locations/times to get different batches. Your head is in the right place! No reason to leave that data unprotected if you have the underlying tech and hardware.

This is called overrun and is the main way you get shorted on product. More overrun means a creamier feeling product, but it also means you get less. So there’s that.

No one likes their x

All of this stuff is usually fit onto a single board, crammed into a very specific amount of space, and is thoroughly and iterated until it works properly. This isn’t the kind of stuff a home lab does, but you could certainly try. I think it would be damn near impossible to do it better and more reliably than teams of hundreds or thousands of various engineers. It’s not like you can just take a phone CPU and slap it on a random board without a ton of forethought.

I usually refer to this chart :)

I took the time to dress the back of my desk, and all cables are routed appropriately, but there are SO many of them it still looks like spaghetti.

Yeah no kidding, paying for unraid?

TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) keeps getting better, for free. It does most of the same tricks that the big boy appliances do, but with your commodity hardware, at no cost.

And it does all this exceedingly well. AND if you want… you can buy support. At your discretion.

Like we get a say

Hard disks, WD/HGST.

I’ve had good luck with EMC and NetApp for enterprise solutions, Synology for SMB class NAS storage, and rely on TrueNAS/ZFS on supermicro hardware at home, which has been rock solid for years and years.

Type 1 runs on bare metal. You install it directly onto server hardware. Type 2 is an application (not an OS) lives inside an OS, regardless of whether that OS is a guest or a host, the hypervisor is a guest of that platform, and the VMs inside it are guests of that hypervisor.

If someone develops a weed-nade, I need to know about it!

Was about to say. This is pretty well known science. A dash of salt in coffee will de-bitter it. I would only assume the same goes for tea. Being a tea drinker I have yet to try it, but next time I have a bad cuppa, I’ll have a go at it.

So far

It’s a prediction. Predictions aren’t always 100% accurate.

Hydrogen is not currently a green energy. Green means the energy is produced in a manner which causes no harm to the environment. About 4% of all current hydrogen is “green”. Global supplies are manufactured with natrual gas (47%), coal (27%), oil (22%), and electrolysis (4%). According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, at least.. Huh.

I guess I’m not really attacking a green energy, am I? I mean, I wasn’t before, but still. Discussing the difficulties of hydrogen at industrial scale isn’t attacking it, no matter how bad it hurts your feelings. It’s simply fact we cannot ignore.

I’ve never heard a single naysayer claim solar or wind were impossible. Like, ever. This is pure unsupported, anecdotal nonsense.

Unless you have factual support for your rebuttal that is relevant to the topic, you have lost my attention.

No point has been missed. I’m not mocking anybody. Look at the tech required. It’s easy to see why this fuel source has not come to fruition, yet we have fields upon fields of wind and solar tech. None of which I ever riduculed, personally.

This isn’t a personal attack. Again. Ridicule has nothing to do with discussing facts. On that note, have a great day.

I am a big proponent of solar and wind. Both need to be taken more seriously. Both are far better long term energy options than hydrogen no matter how you look at it. So no, this is not more BS from the fossil fuel industry, regardless your take.

I seriously doubt hydrogen will be a viable long term fuel source outside of very specific applications.

Even with the best production methods, we still can’t store it well long term. It causes embrittlement and corrosion to metals, and since the atoms are about as small as atoms get, it’s very hard to contain in a pressure vessel without leaks or metal impregnation. Making it and using it aren’t the big issue. Storage is.

Probably going to see what those recent Chinese satellites are.

I know a guy. I’d be happy to send him over there. Permanently.
