  • Silent Storage Solutions for Homelab?

    Jump

  • Probably a fine buy, you can get m.2s for it and it should be silent at idle. With the level of silence you want, you're gonna have to do some sort of low power mini PC & ssds.

    A quick caution, don't cheap out on your ssds! The cheap ones are low quality and have high premature failure rates (ask me how i know 😭)

  • Few of us would have been told that it can change with age, that some of us aren't born with one, or that it might totally disappear by the time we enter sexual maturity anyway. Or that a wide variety of activity can stretch or tear it, from exercise to masturbation to, yes, penetrative sex.

    Emphasis mine, this is what I was taught in school

    But this doesn't mean there's any validity to the idea that you can ascertain sexual activity with a hymen examination. One small study of 36 pregnant teenagers published in 2004, for example, found that medical staff were only able to make "definitive findings of penetration" in two cases. Another 2004 study found that 52% of sexually active adolescent girls interviewed had "no identifiable changes to the hymenal tissue". A binary idea that either we are sexually active and have no visible hymen, or that we aren't sexually active and do have one, is simply not accurate.

    So TIL, it's not actually a membrane and is not guaranteed to tear at some point. Really interesting read, and definitely an example of how women's health research is just riddled with misinformation

  • Why did you join Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I used jerboa for a while back in 2023, but ultimately I've settled on Connect. Its slightly different but still pretty similar to rif

  • RIP rif 😭 i hope one day the dev makes an apl for Lemmy (i know they pivoted to tildes)

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

  • I think anyone running a home server qualifies as an enthusiast, there are more uses for home servers than just plex lol

  • There are definitely valid reasons to use SSDs in a server/array. One of my proxmox servers runs 4x m.2s in raidz1 so all my vms are super snappy. Depending on what you're running you can really see benefits, for example:

    • Elastic Stack
    • Network storage for photo editing
    • Lemmy
    • Immich

    Pretty much anything with a lot of metadata or tons of files will see benefits from running on SSDs, this comes with the caveat that cheap ssds wear quickly and are a pain in the ass but if you need it, you need it

  • What is the problem here?

    Jump

  • Things that have worked for me:

    • your bed is probably not level, i installed self leveling on mine ($30 but well worth it)
    • if its adhesion, try a glue stick. It looks like a PEI sheet but that alone was not enough for me. My routine is: wash with soap and water, spray 90+% IPA (before bed is heated) and wipe with microfiber (paper towel leaves flakes behind), then apply gluestick before printing
    • maybe check your bed is warm enough/preheat for longer to allow the whole bed to get to temp, though i doubt this is the case but it doesn't hurt to try
    • for your first layer: slower speed, higher nozzle temp, higher bed temp

  • How walled is it really though, it's literally just a linux PC. SteamOS is the (arch-based) distro, and Valve is just a system integrator selling what are effectively pre built systems. Steam Machines are meant to have competitors selling their own systems with their own hardware choices.

    This is no different than buying a gaming PC from Cyberpower, Alienware, Asus, etc except that the OS wouldn't be windows.

    Of course, as it stands there are no other competitors but that's just because we're in uncharted territory. If the steam machine sells well, then other integrators will make their own versions (like we saw with the Lenovo Legion & ROG Ally).

    The idea that this is a "walled garden" when you can install any software you want, swap the OS, install cracked games, etc. is ridiculous. This kind of thinking is exactly why people think there's too much infighting in the Linux community. Everyone talks about how they want Linux to become more mainstream and to dethrone windows. But when something like this comes around to actually do that, you all complain about how awful it is

  • Brutal, i worked in b4 consulting before. They had Macs but you basically had to know someone to fight for it on your behalf.

    I feel your pain, i struggled with a dell craptop for years. I swear to god, those things are designed to be awful.

    (Although, shortly before i left i saw the new ones they were handing out which had Ryzen CPUs and actually looked pretty decent, but idk how well they worked because i left obv)

  • Maybe this works for a small-medium business, but for large enterprises (i work for a massive tech company) it doesn't work like that.

    Corporate devices are bought through enterprise service agreements, which have to go through the lawyers as well as the procurement team. Although you could get a contract from Lenovo for the actual devices, a Linux distro would have no service agreement, so that would kill it right there (+ legal would probably flag the risk of malicious code being injected into the OS, i.e. xz). Ignoring thag, devices that are onboarded need to be able to fit into existing device management solutions (ABM/MDM, EDR, DLP, AD, etc etc).

    And before any of that, there would be some survey that goes out to determine how many employees would realistically make the switch. For Linux, that number would likely be so low that the business teams would decide it isn't worth a discussion because of low business impact & user desire (not to mention that now the IT teams also need to be skilled up to support it).

    I couldn't even get a FOSS browser extension approved to be installed on my device, much less spur a movement for adding a whole new set of devices to the corporate inventory.

    (Editing to add, i did talk to the IT guy and he said he wished he could give me one because he wants one too lol)

  • Honestly, between the MBP and a similarly priced Dell as a company laptop, i choose the MBP.

    The battery is better, the screen is better, performance is better, etc

    Dell doesn't know how to make a laptop & windows sucks ass. Macos is so locked down by default that all the restrictions on a company laptop don't change the user experience all that much.

    In an ideal world, id love a debian thinkpad or framework. But we don't live in an ideal world, so had to choose between the two worst possible options

    But, make a backup of your db beforehand. I don't know how it would work when upgrading an existing database

  • Understandable, I will say you definitely chose to dive straight into the deep end choosing Lemmy 🤣 I think most people cut their teeth using docker on stuff like Plex and the related *arrs, then jump to the more complex stuff.

    But, it's also the best way to learn so enjoy it :) stuff like this will become trivial eventually
