Is it much easier than TrueNAS?

I went with TrueNAS because it’s open-source, and it’s been smooth sailing.

(I just use it as a NAS, nothing more)

I’d be curious to rewrite some of the malware we made in class and see if AVs would pick it up now.

Most of them didn’t make any network calls etc. they would just mess with your files and system Things like Set background to Justin-Bieber, play Justin-Bieber randomly, we were very mature

The best security is to limit your risk vector.

Like you said Anti-viruses aren’t some magic bullet, in university a bunch of us wrote Malware and wrecked each other’s lab computers or did things like having the whole Lab’s computers CD trays open at 10am every morning.

The AV didn’t pick up any of them and we barely knew what we were doing.

Afik, AV’s mostly scan for known threats

It’s basically android with all the spy ware stripped out and more privacy features, so not perfect but still significantly better than what we’ve got

GraphineOS will partner with a big manufacturer soon, then normies can switch over easier

I’m more than happy to share. If others didn’t share I wouldn’t have been able to do my hobby.

So basically I just kinda copied this:

The biggest difference is I used different corners, and I made mine a bit deeper (28cm total, so that it would fit a 30cm 3D printer bed)

Right now the back is literally empty, I’m planning on moving all the power cords there soon.

The HDDs are plugged into the ODROID H4+ (the thing that looks like a PSU)

Check my linked post and you’ll see what I’m talking about

Ooof that is rough!!

If you can make your own like I did I would highly recommend it.

If you have the Alu tubing cut and threaded for you most of the work is done

The thing that looks like a PSU is actually a ODROID H4+ it has 4 SATA and power connectors, so I just power it from that.

It’s all in excruciating detail here: https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-plus/

You can also have a look at my old post: https://piefed.social/post/1002037 that might give you a better idea.

They are connected to the ODROID H4+ mini PC above with SATA

Thanks yea that’s the plan I’ll add those to the side and something on top later on.

Either that or I’ll 3D print a honeycomb mesh

Jip everything is running in proxmox, except Home-Assistant I moved that to bare metal

I’m pretty sure I can stand on it without issues, if I add some corner plates it would be even stronger.

But when in doubt you can always go for 3030 or 4040 which would be really strong, you can probably park a motorcycle on those

Thanks I love the jank, one day it’s going to be all neat and tidy and I’m going to miss the mess that it used to be, it adds character.

Here’s some things for scale (AA Battery)

Best you can so is test it for yourself.

I switched to Linux Mint in February and my 4070 has given me no issues.

I just had to set some configs in steam so that it defaults to using my 4070 and not my iGPU, and the rest just worked

For me it depends, when it’s an uncle I hardly have a relationship with randomly asking me to fix his printer because I’m good with computers. Then no think you, I just tell him to google the problem or ask Mistral-AI

If it’s my close family then I love helping them

It’s a favourite pastime of some Amsterdammers to scare tourists who aren’t paying any attention and wonder into the bike lane by ringing our bell as we pass within a centimeter of them.

If it wasn’t obvious I’d be forgiving but it’s painted bright red with bicycle symbols on it.

We like to joke the bike lanes are stained red by the blood of tourists

I know you’re making a joke but actually all the protected bike lanes makes it really easy and nice for mobility scooters to get around here
