Q The Misanthrope

I’m sure it’ll be fun and I’m always glad to have more trek.

Two things concern me, first every person we’ve met previously from section 31 has been an asshole. Intentional writing to make them them an organization working against the ideals of the federation. Will that make it harder for me to like the characters or their missions? I am unsure if I want to relate better to them.

The second is that universe ending stuff has little emotional impact on me, it’s unimaginable to me especially with the CGI required to visualize it. Episodes always hits me harder when it’s a planet, a species, a special person or some mystery to be discovered.

DON’T DATE ROBOTS!

They are sata drives.

Seagate Exos X16. 6 of them refurb is still $800.

The case is hot swap with just an hba connection so I can let zfs do it’s thing.

I don’t see “screwed the pooch” used much but it always is funny to me.

I was limited by the processor and some existing ram which basically dictated my purchases to save money.

You’re completely right though, a more modern system would be similar in price and more capable.

I blew my budget on drives and a hot swap case. The rest is easy to upgrade when the time comes.

I purchased a case, SilverStone Technology CS382 8-Bay. Around $200-225.

Bought used parts off eBay:

Asus P8Z77-M LGA 1155 DDR3 SDRAM Desktop Motherboard $75

32GB DDR3 1333 $35

LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA 9200-81 IT Mode P20 $35

Nvidia Quadro P620 2GB GDDR5 4x mini DisplayPort $70

I have six 12tb drives (seagate exos), purchased refurb from serverpartdeals.com and had great luck with them and their support. I found that on Reddit data hoarder sub.

I run Truenas. 4 drives for primary. 2 drives for backup of the first 4. And I have a qnap 4 bay dumb raid box for a third backup with old drives I had. My paranoia but not related really to the nas.

Anyway it’s possible and I enjoy what I built. Also that case is loud, get a fan controller too.

I had an Intel s2600 with dual Xeon and 120 gigs of RAM. It seems like such a good idea to run that as a home server. However, the amount of power that it used because it was older was way too much.

I ended up hunting on eBay and found an old Asus motherboard, Intel chip, ram, and a pny Nvidia card.

I bought refurb hard drives from serverpartdeals and a new case from Amazon.

I recommend starting with a chassis you want and working backwards to help narrow your scope.

I know you wanted smaller but heres what I bought. SilverStone Technology CS382… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKTYSZV9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Also, I run truenas scale with a bunch of apps. Ssd z1 for os. Ssd z1 for transcode and caches. And then 4 drive set for main storage and another 4 drive set for backup of the first set.

Based on the comments in the thread, they asked it to repeat before actually having it say anything so it repeated the directives.

There’s a whole bunch of comments relocating it with chat logs.

I’m a fan of Dune and this always made me laugh.
