  • No need for virtualization (so no Proxmox, TrueNAS, or Unraid) Run lightweight containers for web services like Immich, Paperless-ngx, Pi-hole, and custom services I’ve developed

    Do you not consider containers virtulizations? Or do you plan to run your webservices in the same context? Because I would really suggest against doing the latter.

    However, I’m unsure if I really need RAID since I’ll perform regular backups.

    Raid is not a backup anyhow ;).

    If you don't need the capacity or redundancy of raid I would suggest you buy a single >=8Tb drive. It should be a bit cheaper (For example, I recently payed ~270€ for 16 Tb, which I'd reccomend over paying 240€ for 8Tb in total. There are probably also 8/12 Tb drives for less then 240€.). It will also use half the power as that does not really scale with capacity.

    Edit: there are a bunch of 8tb drives at 180€ here for example.

  • The what?

  • I did an exchange year in MN and my host family there told me not to, always bought bottled water and never drank it themselves. And when I did try it it tasted very chlorinated.

  • Germany, we do have a few fountains (but they are really uncommon and would have more in common with a normal tab and sink then the american fountains I've seen). I'd usually just fill up my bottle from a sink at a bathroom when I'm on the go.

  • Then what are those for compared to just a sink?

  • I thought their whole point was that they filter the water because you can't drink the tap water in the US?

  • Anytime I see memes like that, I am thankful I live in a country where I can just drink tap water.

  • I don't tgink you can create a RaidZ1 with just two drives.

  • But the low-cost pool would probably not have the capacity to hold my data (or not be low-cost).

  • Sadly I don't have 11 Tb worth of smaller empty drives around (and not even eniugh sata-Ports, so I'd also have to buy an expansion-card).

    Yeah, I don't like the broken pool idea either, that's why I was hoping there was a better method.

  • Sounds interesting, but while I have room for one more drive, I don't want to spend money for one more drive xD (As mentioned, I have >= 12Tb drives, so another one I don't really need would hurt the wallet quite a bit.)

  • But send to where?

  • I back up my personal data for which I have the space. I do not back up my media, as I can't justify the costs for another drive that size and would be fine with losing in the offchance I loose two drives in my array (or my entire server fucking up).

  • I don't understand why so many organizations make it so hard to donate. Why do I need to enter my name and e-mail only to discover you don't support european banks. It cannot be that complicated to set up an eu-bankaccount and publish the IBAN to just let me wire money, right?

  • You should watch orphan black

  • Mid-life crisis? I'm in my mid-20s!

  • There are but from what I've read none were required for this building, because it was only used as storage.

  • But you can make a moral argument fot their terrorism against (former) Nazis in (more or less) hiding in my opinion.
