I feel you. This ITX build is replacing a giant supermicro dual everything beast. I just kept its HDDs and moved everything to the Unraid ITX + some docker running on a M2 MacMini that is always on anyway.

I said to myself that I’ll resell the supermicro on auctions but still haven’t started to disassemble it.

Fun fact about divorce. A cute Jonsbo N3 with big Noctua fans is way more for peace and love at home than a 20Kg Supermicro chassis.

Yeah I love it. It’s one of the only itx case with 8 hdds and a SAS backplate.

Honestly it was the hardest part to find, I waited for months before having an auction on one.

I was going to post the same link, I generally take inspiration from that forum and then adapt with what I can find on eBay etc for cheap. The prices they give are for US eBay and not always suitable to EU eBay.

I’ve just finished my new NAS using Unraid OS and some info from the forum.

• Jonsbo N3 case
• Gigabyte Z590i Vision D motherboard
• Intel i5 10400T
• 2x16Gb DDR4 2666 (basic corsair)
• LSI 9207-8i HBA in IT-Mode
• An old 128Gb M2 SSD
• 8x6Tb HGST SAS drives
• Corsair SF600 PSU

It took me more than 6 months to find all the parts at a correct price but I was not in a rush.

It’s 2.5Gbe and not 10Gb SFP but you get the idea. The cost was really low (lower than 1000) because I already had the HDDs from an older server. It should be around 1500€ max with the disks.

The real downside of doing that is the time it takes but it’s also a kind of pleasure to hunt for parts and one day assemble them all.

Ah ah yes thanks I try to dream and be positive even if it’s sometimes dumb 😁

Another thing I forgot is that Airbus (and all EU aviation) are applying the HRO (high reliability organization) and just culture for a long time now.

I have read somewhere that Boeing started implementing just culture after the Max crashes, so very late. And apparently wrongly as some employees still fear repercussions if they make safety reports (and according to latest NTSB report 2 employees had been punish lately for that reason).

If true that is totally unbelievable.

Yeah I’m not sure about that. Work culture, and even C suite culture, is very different in Europe.

Airbus publicly said they want Boeing to continue being a good opponent. The comments on this video talks a lot about working for one or the other manufacturer and the differences in the way people are treated.

Airbus is still lead by an engineer and not an accountant. That could change for sure but EU country won’t let it slip to a shit company as easy as it happened in the US, just because of our culture.

Worst case scenario, French, German, Spanish and other Airbus locations will go on strikes and riots if conditions are getting worse.

Sadly getting something new and better will take decades and Airbus cannot handle the (airline) market alone. They also need to have a concurrent cause having an Airbus monopoly could make them sloppy on the long run. The C suite at Airbus are probably the first ones to want Boeing to survive as they know the trouble they’ll be in if they are alone.

Can you please tell me about that obsidian, google and cloud relationship ? Cause I don’t know anything about that and I’m curious.

I don’t use any cloud except my own, self hosting FTW!

I am not sure what you’re working on but from your answers I’ve read you seems to need access to a lot of information with a few keystrokes, like searching for a keyword or tag.

In my opinion you are using the wrong tool for that. Ditch the browser and learn about the Zettelkasten way of working. It is really powerful for plenty of applications like science, studies, dev, or even the way I use it, author repository of ideas/concepts/stuff I need when writing a book.

You can do that with several software but I like obsidian for that (and because of all its plugins you could probably find something to automatically copy webpage content)

On the downside side :

• You’ll have to learn Zettelkasten, Obsidian etc
• Obviously do the work of writing (or copy pasting) your vault.

But on the plus size :

• You’ll have all the information you need at your fingertips, searchable with keywords, tags, associations etc.
• Everything is basic text MD files so it will still be readable by any text editor or terminal in the next century.
• You can have images, run code, do some mathlib, jupyter etc inside.
• Text is light, easy to store, backup and retrieve.
• If you do good enough you can have a satisfying visual representation of your new brain, kinda mindmap (which is also possible)

Amen brother.

I’ll buy a 13’’ iPad Pro right now if it could do all those “non-mobile OS” things for a perfect small productivity machine.

Hell, I’ll even buy the official pen, keyboard and the non-existent docking station for office use.

Winning the game should help Canada’s chances to win the game.

There are mods for TOTK to display and use the deck layout (or Xbox controller or whatever).

That mod surely exists for BOTW.

I’m not the audience for Mac gaming but I discovered that my “work dedicated” Mac mini M2 pro is an amazing machine for afk flying 14h flights on Xplane12. Specially during summer heat waves where the windows gaming rig is just a huge space heater.

So yeah I believe the target is people wanting only one rig to do everything but still use MacOS as a daily. Probably those with a MacBookPro M3-something. You could already do it with streaming, now with the M chips you can play AAA locally as well.

They did it since at least 2 OS version. It is impossible to run a 32 bit software on latest MacOS unless you keep an older version on dual boot. Or Linux but it is still a dual boot.

From memory it did not had a huge impact, most 32 bit software or games are old enough that you slowly start to forget about it and just use something else.

Now I want to see proton on Asahi Linux on a native apple silicon chip.

I know it’s useless, I still want to try it for my nerd spirit.

It is that game yeah, from a company used to abandon games shortly after releasing them but 4 days is a record.

They were also gloating on a now deleted YouTube video about using unpaid “volunteer” devs that worked only for fame and experience.

Yup it’s probably what I’ll end up doing if I can’t find my refurbished M1 (and I already own an M2 mostly used to fly long hauls flights on Xplane 12).

But I’ll wait till they launch the mini M3 to see what becomes available on the second hand market, then simply VM until Asahi Linux is mature enough.

Well not really, I’m not the one working on making a native M* chip Linux (but those guys are indeed insanely crazy, they are reverse engineering Mac, writing hardware specs and even correcting bugs for Apple).

It’s just another cool geek project like you could do with a pi, and ofc have bonus geek point for having an Apple silicons run Linux natively.

Plus, I will be so glad to resell my huge 18kg supermicro server.

I want to do something like this to replace my huge ass dual xenon and have less noise and electricity consumption.

I’m looking for a refurbished M1 Mac mini with 10Gbe but still out of luck.

Why the M1 and not M2 or 3 ? Price of course but also because Asahi Linux will work perfectly on M1 before the new chips.

Why are you buying bandages, hot sauce and biscuits on Amazon?

Unless you live in a suburb hell without safe transportation means, please stop giving them your money.

I live in a country where Amazon cannot deliver and I’m in love because of that. Thanks complicated customs laws that keep Amazon out <3

And apparently people buying small phones do not buy a new one every years but wait for them to die, further reducing the cash grab pot.
