I’ve seen (walked by) less pleasant cubicles.

Yeah, good advice.

For my parents house with NAS in their living room I still use WD Red Plus (not Red Pro), so pleasant & quiet (which was basically my only concern). But smol. Can’t find new ones as quiet tho.

How is the noise?
Did you make any model selection based on that?

Oh, wow, this is beautiful!

Imagine using you mouser to click on all the things, like a pleb.

Mice are for fps.

(well, only like 62% sarcasm tbh)

Is art.
Not that pretty.

Llamas ass, only slightly fucked over whipped.

In a standup comedy act whenever I get on my feet (optional).
Dont really have a choice in not attending that event.

Right?
People doing things like this is hella faith-in-humanity-restoring.

Not to be confused with pooping brain.

Why do so many people shit in the shower??

Shitstorming.
Bring a fan.

This shitstorming could have been an email, or a fax.

Yes, it’s still easier to manage, transfer stuff, Proxmox Backup server integrates nicely, etc.

No, I didn’t mean with ceph. No quorum needed either. Just add to the group.

ProxMox.

But also, in case if your only data backup plan for them is raid 1 - in such cases I prefer to have only one HDD in the machine & use the other one as a backup on a separate machine, preferably in another location. I find it that the missing 12h (or whatever) of the latest data overshadows the (lower) probability of losing all the data (fire, flood, burglary, weirdly specific accidents, etc).

And ofc you can select what to backup/rsync or not.

Eg Immich, after return to operation the apps will just resync any missing pics from the last backup.

Also with two systems you don’t have to care that much about drive quality. Im now buying Exos 22+TB bcs why not. But when I needed quiet drives I bought Red Plus (not the regular Red ones, nor the Pro ones), they are even quieter than Exos, but smol.

I think this is the way and not an overkill at all!

Its super easy to swarm ProxMox, and you make your inevitable admin job easier. Not to mention backups, first testing & setting up a VM on your server before copying it to their, etc.

Its amazing how fast it’s developing, hard to believe it’s only two years old, yet it seems like yesterday at the same time.

Fantastic devs!

Always satanise your inputs.

I love Buster, make sure to tell him, such a distinguished and professional supervisor.
