that hard drive prices return to normal and think about all the things i can build.

silliness aside, i honestly sit there and plan it out. i wish i pulled the trigger and started earlier. i actually bought two mini pcs before this mess and have one setup running proxmox. o have this beautiful jellyfin -> jellyseer -> radarr/sonarr -> sazbd -> gluetun -> newsreader setup on proxmox and i founf 1 8tb wd red plus on sale that i put in a ugreen nas running truenas and its filling up quickly.

i wont move to nextcloud until i get a second drive for mirroring. i still have to find a place to backup those future files as well.

there is not really a point tp this post except i know people here feel my pain. how i dream of buy a few 12 tb drives.

for now i find stuff and put price alerts on them. o have tried ebay but i dont always get what i pay for. like buying wlanlisting that says wd red plus cmr and getting a wd red (non plus) smr.

i fantasize about the cool rack setup i could build. right now everything, jellyfin stack, home assistant, glance dashboard, pteradactyl, netbird , anf any vm i want to play with all on one proxmox mini pc. next comes books

sorry for the rant but maybe you can relate

    Only thing I wish for Christmas is to be able to replace the RAM and mobo in one of my servers. It is failing with a kernel panic about once a week and it is an old DDR3 platform I planned to upgrade back in January. I have isolated the issue to a hardware fault but left without a solution…

                Update, kernel panic happened today, so I updated the BIOS settings:

                • tCL (CAS Latency): Change from 11 to 12
                • tRCD: Change from 11 to 12
                • tRP: Change from 11 to 12
                • tRAS: Change from 28 to 32
                • DRAM voltage changed from 1.488 to 1.530

                All the initial values were Auto values. I’ll let it sit for at least a month with no reboots before calling it fixed. I’ll set a reminder
