I am also working on building a new NAS, I didn’t realize it was going to be so damned expensive though…
Currently I am thinking of going for ZFS with six drives, four pure storage, one parity and one hot spare, I would also need another drive as a cold spare…
I am interested in ZFS due to it’s bitrot protection, I have already seen some of my photos affected by bitrot…
I have been very happy with my Panasonic Lumix S5 and previously GX80, though I am planning on getting a Sony A7 IV as I want better AF, I’ll keep my S5 and the lenses though as I love the colors from it
Just heads up, the protest have worked, Geoguessr will not be participating in the event.
Huge Geoguessr fan here, This is a great protest, I will take down my maps as well!
Until just now, I have always read it as Gork, Grok is more annoying to say.
This is the first time I ever heard the term, I didn’t know it was a thing, and given the source is Gork which is owned by a rich man with an agenda, I still don’t know if it is a thing or not.
I wonder how well that would run on a 700MHz ARM CPU with a maximum of 512 MB RAM…
I’ll wait for the official announcement before getting hyped up.
I don’t agree that these are an eyesore, they are not as pretty as a tree, no, but disgustingly ugly? Nah.
Seems like a decent idea if you have an over developed location where you can’t plant a tree.
This is the first time I am hearing about that site, I have just not been in the scene much… could it be a temporary problem?
I am a hobby photographer, and I am interested in some photo editing software, I heard great things about DoX Photo Lab, and wanted to check it out, I am not opposed to paying for software, if I get a perpetual license for a version, ok, they have that, looks good, so I try and find a trial version, ah, sweet they have that as well!
But I need to register to get access to download it…
Sigh…
Just allow me to get a trial version without registring, then I can decide later if I want it, I have bought several programs this way!
The only thing you will accomplish with forcing a registration on me in this case is a database full of temp emails…
STOP. DOING. THIS.
What is called a “Discord Server” isn’t a server as we know it, it is more of a hub of services that all runs on Discord’s systems.
What, there has been a huge reaction to this!
Well then he cut down the emissions per seat drastically!
It is correct that we only have one life, but so does everyone else including children…
Why is his life so much more important than others?
Wait, he took a PRIVATE jet instead?
Wow, he really seem to enjoy climate change.
Since you have the equipment at home you can just get a power meter and measure the computer and a router to see which uses most power over two hours.
Make sure to install the baseline for the computer before the test so it is fairly representative
I get that, it was just something I noticed when looking to build a NAS a few months ago, I was considering the power usage over time when compared with a Synology, and I seem to recall the Synology being much more power efficient, and when I saw OP talking about using a full X86 machine for an AP, I just thought it sounded very inefficient.
Before you start with this project, consider the power use of a full X86 system even at idle and compare that to a standard router.
If you are looking to run this as an access point permanently, the cost of power may add up.
I am not saying that you shouldn’t do it, but take it into account before deciding.
Interesting, I have to look into that, I am taking it slow, and will buy storage drives over a few months to spread the cost out, so I have time to think about it
