  • I would start with the NAS first. with a proper NAS and a solid network the storage requirements for the rest of your servers lessens.

    for example, I’ve got an off-the-shelf NAS solution that hosts all my movies, music, etc that is mounted via docker in my Plex container on a different server. because it’s usually streaming to four different devices at any given moment, and the torrent’s running against the same NAS, I’m using a 10gbe copper line.

    depending on your needs, a 1gbe should suffice.

    having a NAS would also help with backups. I have a 5 bay NAS, one of them is dedicated for backups of both servers and cloud storage from the NAS (personal files, tax documents, etc).

    also, when building your NAS whatever you think you need, double it. if you think 5tb is enough, you’ll want to get 10tb or even 15tb. I current run 15tb(8tb drives) in a raid 10 with a 20tb backup drive.

    this kind of configuration allows me to run 1tb or even sub tb drives on my servers and reduces my overall costs to replace if anything goes wrong. with a raid 10 on my primary storage array I can easily replace bad drives.

    the only time I’ll really hurt is if my backup drive fails. since it was so expensive due to the volume. but backup drives never fail, right? 😉

    unfortunately because of AI all those prices have increased. if I were to build it today it would cost me around $1700. adjusted for current pricing my whole lab would probably cost around $10k (thanks ram!).

    good luck and god speed



  • I learned to disassociate very early in my life. after all, you can’t be hurt if you don’t feel anything.

    In my rapidly progressing age I have learned this has both allowed me to move forward quickly in life, but has stunted me in others.

    emotions are like a seasoning to life. if everything you ate was bland, was any of it worth eating in the first place?

    take an old mans advice, take small moments to appreciate how you’re feeling, to understand why you’re feeling it.


  • until he provides proof stating otherwise, that vile man just shit his pants on live television in one of the most storied rooms in America.

    it’s where the Cuban missile crisis was resolved by John F Kennedy.

    Nixon addressed the nation when Watergate broke.

    Lyndon Johnson signed the civil rights act of 1964.

    Bill Clinton got his dick wet.

    finally, Donald Trump shit himself in front of a nation.

    man, what an amazing history and now his shitty drawers are a part of it!
