I am already running Snapraid and machines do spindown after sometime, but it’s still around 50w.

Thank you, this is what I am thinking too. I don’t wanna create e-waste, and apart from power consumption, the nas is very handy performance wise and tackles all load.

Thank you, this is what I needed to know. I thought n100 (similar to what dedicated nas has 6-10w) would bring power down considerably, and thanks to you, I now know it’s not the case.

I actually have an extension cord with IoT chip. Can measure power consumption via home assistant.

Ram is definitely abysmal on Qnap, so it’s one reason for hesitation. But I wanted to get some idea how much power saving is possible on dedicated NAS. If it’s not much, I would rather keep my PC.

It’s 6th gen i5 processor with gigabyte motherboard. And Qnap is ts-531x.

On the other hand, Bundeswehr (German Military) runs their infrastructure on Google Cloud.

It will never get solved. Kashmir stayed in conflict and bloodshed, favors both India and Pakistan. The latest escalation gave Modi justification to continue sidelining Muslims in India, pass authoritative measures and push the dissolution of waqf assets to be seized by govenrment, while on other side, it also allowed hugely unpopular Pakistani military, to gather public support and clamp down on political opposition and undermine any remaining democracy in the country.

don’t hold your breath

Thanks for setting expectations

Yeah, give terminators Neo like abilities

German brains started malfunctioning as soon as you criticize Israel’s actions, and they easily end up justifying Nazi atrocities, in support of Israel. Kinda explains those past Nazi rallies where people from all walks of life were chanting Heil.

Well recently moved to Hyprland and the installation scripts installed ton of anime girls neo fetch pictures / backgrounds and neon colored/catpuccin themes everywhere. It took me a long time to get used to it.

I am thinking of deploying a RAG system to ingest all of Linus’s emails, commit messages and pull request comments, and we will have a Linus chatbot.

Well Saudi Arabia has been doing its own genocide in Yemen, so Saudi Arabia joining Israel is just birds of same feather flocking together.

I had no idea about it before watching the mini series “Mr. Bates vs. The Post Office”.

Politics, Because Russia is still a global crude oil supplier, any strike damaging their infrastructure would increase global oil prices and Biden can’t have that in an election year.

Well Windows 10 at least lets you create a local user account. you can’t even install windows 11 without having a microsoft online account, because you need a Microsoft account to be able to create a local user.

Korea is extremely class conscious and people treat people differently based on perceived wealth. iPhone being considerably expensive than Samsung offerings in Korea is an instant wealth signifier and having an iPhone means you are perceived as upper rich class than those pesky poor Samsung, which is now associated with old people or who couldn’t afford an iPhone.

Same. After 20 years of distro hopping and living on latest releases, Debian feels like home with the least amount of broken packages and general overall panic.

Just because you married the daughter of someone dumb, the rest of us should suffer? Due to this walled garden approach, the big companies are carving pieces of once open Internet to create their own secluded corners which only stifles competition. I always liked apple as a technology company, but their transition into a lifestyle brand only emboldened their gatekeeping. I am glad they were forced to adapt to USB-C, and I hope that in future, they be forced to open their AppStore.
