Which means you have to check each and every formula and we all now how difficult it is to read and understand excel formulas we didn’t write ourselves…

Hey, great for you! Which Surface do you have and did you get the camera(s) working properly?

Did you try qBitController?

What do you think it is? For me it looks kinda like a common blackbird, but as das as I know they don’t exist in Illinois, USA?

Earlier this year I built something similar, although with more space for hard drives:

I used the following components:

For storage I bought used 4 TB drives from ebay for around 40 € each.

Now the system is running 5 x 4 TB in RAID 6 as well as a 256 SATA SSD I had laying around as cache.

The system is using 25 Watts in idle with those 5 HDDs, 1 SATA SSD and 2 M.2 SSDs.

It’s a bit more you’ve been asking for but this option would offer you more expandability down there road.

Are you sure? The EU parliament explicitly mentions USB C as the new mandatory standard.

Uu an s. O

Why the heck does the “cross-posted from” link direct me to BDSM content on Jerboa? 😲

Folding@Home uses your computer trying to find new therapeutics by simulating protein dynamics.

Don’t get me wrong: You’re 100 % entitled to your preferences and your definition of a hobby.

It was just unusual for me to equate a hobby with putting effort and perseverance into something. For me a hobby is something you simply do for your enjoyment in your free time on a more or less regular basis.

But hey: Definitions differ.🤷

Since when is “mastering it” part of the definition of a hobby?

I get that but why is traveling not a hobby?

Whenever possible phrase a question in a way that can be answered in one word.

That’s a good one! I would also add: When asked a question, determine whether this question can be properly answered in one word. If possible do it!

This is particularly directed at my wife 💋

I’ve read that you’re trying for minimal resource overhead.

Is lighttpd still a thing? Back in the day I used it to deliver very simple static Http pages with minimal resource usage.

I found a docker image with like 4 mb size but being two years old I don’t know how well maintained lighttpd is these days.

Interesting. Do you know how Cosmos handles storage and especially RAID?

Although the mentioned tools are great I don’t know how your comment applies to OPs problem. They are asking for a tool to manage their server and not for a tool to automate their torrenting.

CasaOS is great for very simple (basic!) container management and easy creation of basic shares but it doesn’t offer any tools for RAID management and is only single user oriented so it doesn’t have any access control built in to it’s Samba shares. These features might come in the future though.

I don’t know Yunohost but I’d recommend you Openmediavault. It’s Debian based, offers tools for managing RAID, Docker, Shares, Users, , Access control Lists, Updates and much more.

It’s actually amazing and in active development.

No, not this year but maybe last fall, early winter. The game itself was running fine but without DLC (which neede the launcher to work) was useless to me.

Maybe I have to give it another try but this experience was the worst possible advertisement for “gaming on Linux” 😐

This is simply not true. I recently tried Linux for gaming after several years because I read that Valve made some great progress. Installed Crusader Kings III and didn’t get Paradox Launcher to run which is necessary for any DLC.

This was literally the first game I installed from my huge library and it simpl didn’t work so I had to do two hours of research, trial and error and reading error logs to conclude that I wasn’t able to solve this problem.

This is the exact reason why I use Windows for gaming. It simply works 99 % of the time. And I don’t have the time to troubleshoot my games all the time.
