EoL? They’re releasing betas regularly and announced 13.3 for Q2. You mean how they’re sort of winding down with scale taking the bulk of dev cycles? Not much to change with the platform, and security fixes will be backported to CORE. I think SCALE still doesn’t fit my use-case, hut when it does, and jails go away with CORE, I’ll shed a tear and pour one out for my homie.

In that case, I’d probably be thinking of a standard power supply with molex output (they make bricks like this) for a 5.25" fan controller that ties in thermistors on the control side of the equation. I know that’s not the typical, “I just use a raspberry pi and…” answer we’re used to here, so take mine with a grain of salt.

If you mean running the fans in 240vAC, Comair Rotron make fantastic fans for this voltage. If you mean a regulator circuit and any old 12vDC fan, sorry for misunderstanding.

What tease! This great map begs for my close scrutiny. Alas! It will not bear it.

Edit: Here is a decent hi res map of the watershed. Boy, do I want to read every detail of that map you shared, OP. I’m going down the rabbit-hole!

Edit2: Another mid/low res map of the basin, but its awfully MS-Paint.

Edit3: found this digital version, but no better, really:

EditFinal: Here’s a depth and elevation profile that I found that’s clear and fairly detailed. I am too busy today to get further sucked in, but I could spend the rest of my day staring at these maps…

Love jails. My server didn’t move with me to Central America, and I miss Free/TrueNAS jails

Fun! I want I Google Earth version of this with a time slider.

Thx for this comment.

My main drive for self hosting is to escape data harvesting and arbitrary query limits, and to say, “I did this.” I fully expect it to be painful and not very fulfilling…

Haven’t done this yet, but this is a source I saved in response to a similar question a while back.

I’m also interested in the true size comparison without the skewed size that occurs further and further from the equator when you make a flat, rectangular map from a sphere.

I don’t use Chrome, and don’t use browser-based password management. Why would I want to trust a third party with the most secure aspect of my digital life? The answer to the question, “What do you do when online password managers are insecure and compromised by bad actors?” Isn’t to use a different online password manager.

Keepass.

Back to not loading for me, but no worries – its my choice to avoid JS, not yours to find workarounds for me.

Bam! Thanks!

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but this would probably be great as a PDF or other vector image. Its pretty pixelated on my end, but still legible. Thx for the resource!

How about an image host that doesn’t force JavaScript? This looks interesting, but it won’t load

Why not episode 1? Starting in season one, you meet Tasha, Q, Lwaxana, Khalarr (sp?), Lore…

They still haven’t published on github or fdroid yet, and as the only update available is on the Play store, and I won’t install from there, I haven’t tried it yet.

Keepass is free, and has no limits that would cause you to research alternatives. Keep the passwords database in a single cloud location, or keep separate copies and merge them occasionally. I see nothing in your post that would lead me to recommend an additional paid service.

OP asks about HDD technology, and somehow you found a way to ignore the main ask of their question, AND offer a response including a discussion about a hypothetical home renovation.

“I see you want to know X, but I know about construction, so how about Z or Q? Eh?”

Bravo.

OP, WD Red NAS drives are usually 5400 with low cache and go at least up to 10TB. Might have to buy soon, as I don’t see much new stock.

Well as long as you’re aware of the risk and prepared for it, its not so bad to run in a volatile way like that. I ran my TN box for almost a decade on the same USB boot before I finally caved and picked up three Intel enterprise SSD for the job, with one as a cold spare. Nothing in the vox was critical or would be missed for more than a few beers of crying.

Thats is a very budget-friendly choice for UnRAID to accept varying drive sizes. As a backup destination, especially a cold backup, the RAM requirements of ZFS should be less impactful. I had lots of use from my TrueNAS box with 16GB, and my dedicated cold backup build is just 8GB on 5x1TB WD Blue (gasp!) HDDs. I always wanted to try other NAS platforms, but I’m away from all my tech for a few years.
