10 commodity SSDs through a powered USB hub forming a poor man’s NAS with snapraid + mergerfs
How did you end up with this setup? Did you just already have a bunch of SSDs from over the years? That’d be cool af if you posted a photo of it.
For the NAS, what do you use for storage? Do you have an external drive hooked up via USB or something else?


Thanks for clarifying. If I understand correctly, you’re saying that in terms of energy usage, a thin client + external docking station for HDDs might have a smaller footprint than an ITX build, but at the expense of future upgradeability. On the other hand, an ITX build would likely draw more power than the thin client + external HDDs, but enables me to upgrade individual components down the road. Did I get that right?


I would only consider those thinclients if AI is something you are planning to run.
Do you mean b/c AI would require a beefy host for the thin client to connect to?


Thanks for clarifying that. One last question if you don’t mind – some listings (such as this one) say “no OS,” and “You must reload the unit to gain original factory functionality.” Are they just talking about installing my own OS or does “reloading” mean something else in the context of these thin clients that I’m not aware of?


Gotcha, although I’m in the US, so would something like this DELL WYSE 5070 THIN CLIENT Intel Celeron J4105 1.50GHZ 8GB RAM 64GB SSD No OS ($34 w/ free shipping) be comparable?


Gotcha, the one you linked is sold out, but what about this one?


it being ARM based will cause various headaches when learning compared to something x86
Hmm, this is just enough to give me pause. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to think on this some more and maybe do a little more research.


What made you want to switch from docker to podman?
Beelink ME Mini
Would something like this be suitable as a NAS + Jellyfin + Home Assistant box?


That’s pretty slick.
What are the HDDs plugged into? Would you mind posting some photos of the back?


One thing stack exchange moderators got right is they required posts with links to include at least a snippet of info from the linked page for exactly this reason.


No, no limits, we’ll reach for the skyyyy


Do you take any precautions to protect your privacy from Google or are you just like, eh, whatever?

Aha, thank you. I had checked !support@lemmy.world, but not !lemmyworld@lemmy.world.


Got ‘em.


30% its [sic] in the title
Right, but I don’t see anything in the title or the article itself about 30% being “sufficient.” To the contrary, the article quotes Sarah Brown, energy think tank Ember’s European program director:
The EU is “very much on the way” to its goal of having renewable sources account for 72 per cent of power generation by 2030.
This article is a celebration of a milestone that was crossed for the first time, no mention of 30% being sufficient. You’re assigning meaning that’s not there.


Who the helll [sic] thought a minority of renewables sufficient?
Where are you getting this from?
Fair points, although it seems to me the original commenter addresses this at the end of their first paragraph:
