But why

Yeah, I’m planning to spin them down so infrequently that it shouldn’t matter in the long run.

I currently have exactly this setup but I really want to migrate to a single machine :)

I’ll consider this!

I’m possibly biased by the amount of initial fiddling with all the disks and pcie cards and hunting down where the noise was coming from. Will keep in mind.

This could be an option I guess - however the current case is a HP z440, which is SO convenient for building in that I need an extra good reason to get rid of it. Zero screws, just latches. Carrying handles.

Thanks - from what I see myu CPU doesn’t support VT-d, only VT-x, which at a glance makes it not suitable for passing through these drives safely. I’ll get to dismantling the NAS VM setup actually.

Thanks! This sounds like an option.

I’ll gladly take the advice on the NAS VM, I see so many tutorials virtualising TrueNAS and not a lot of the opposite viewpoint. If it’s not a good practice I’d indeed rather recycle that setup while I’m at it.

I don’t need to keep using Proxmox, or TrueNAS for that matter. If I need to DIY this with bare metal Debian, I will. My constraint is to have both always-on services and on-demand HDD backed services on the same machine. Sky is the limit after that…

Scheduling doesn’t sound the best indeed, which is why I’d ideally want a simple button that I can click from a GUI.

Not an option, because it will also run some essential services off SSD’s. :/

Practically every house and apartment has (access to) a sauna. If not inside the apartment, there will most often be a shared sauna in the basement.

About the UK, I’m going to go a bit deeper and note that it was somehow eye-opening that there’s a whole society that actually just daily drives English. For my whole life before the visits to UK and later US, English was the language of the internet and some specific international situations where it was most people’s second language. Until well into my mid-20s, I basically didn’t have real life contact with any community that would just speak English natively, despite speaking it myself fairly okay-ish.

So he’s hinting that he has now discovered where autism comes from, conveniently passed from the mother’s side? Checks out…

If you have an nvidia card, which is very common and can’t always be avoided, there is significant benefit in newer drivers, for one

Me, because someone at my work picked it for servers back in the day
