- Comment on Cheapest 14x4tb NAS 1 week ago:
The price sweet spot for HDDs appears to be as high as 16 to 24 TB at the moment (at least here in the Netherlands).
You can get a 24TB Seagate Barracuda for €479,- right now, which comes out to about €20 / TB. - Comment on Cheapest 14x4tb NAS 1 week ago:
You say you are on a budget, but there is no real clarification what that budget is. That said, I will assume that the budget is tight, and you are looking for the best bang for the buck.
The case looks like a good option, assuming that those are 3.5 inch bays.
It should give you plenty of space for expansion in the future if you want to do thatRAM prices are pretty nuts right now, so I would definitely not got balls to the wall with 128 GB of RAM. 16 GB of RAM should be more than plenty for a NAS server. Maybe you can even get away with 8GB? I’m using 16 GB of DDR3 RAM in my NAS server (which is also running Jellyfin and Nextcloud) and it’s running fine.
Speaking of DDR3… Have you considered buying your CPU, motherboard and RAM second hand? From what I hear the prices of DDR3 RAM are not nearly as elevated as those of DDR4 and DDR5 RAM, and DDR3 is plenty sufficient for a simple NAS.
Be sure not to skimp on the power supply. Most consumer power supplies are not built for only running HDDs. I’m running a Corsair RM550x in my server, which is capable of supplying 130W on the 5V rail.
Good luck with your server build!

- Comment on 'It's Possible to jailbreak F-35 like iPhone', Says Dutch State Secretary of Defense Tuinman 4 weeks ago:
The military wants the best equipment, and currently that is the American F-35.
That comes with a dependence on the United States, and at the time of purchasing these jets that dependence was not considered to be a particular concern because America is a good ally and a part of NATO.
Following Trump’s re-election and antics over Greenland, that calculation is now different. It might not be worth it to buy new F-35s at this point (though Germany seems to be considering it still), but the Dutch army has pre-existing F-35s which we should be able to use even if America doesn’t want us to for whatever reason.

That security camera does not need to be a Ring camera though. There are solutions that store footage locally and don’t report back to our coorporate overlords
- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 5 weeks ago:
It is not disabled yet, but they will be resticting age gated channels by the end of the month yo amyone who hasn’t provided them with a copy of their ID
Worth noting that Discord had a pretty bad data leak a few months back, where it turned out the ID verification company they hired was not deleting the IDs after they were checked

Streaming is progress in terms of convenience, but the trade-off is a lower image quality and forgoing ownership of the media you buy/consume.
- Comment on Tesla's own Robotaxi data confirms crash rate 3x worse than humans even with monitor 1 month ago:
I think that is incorrect. They discontinued the model X and model S, meaning they are only going to focus on the model 3 and model Y (which are their better selling models)

Probably best to make a report, that way they see it.

If you can’t have sex with the sex-machine making machine, what even is the point?
- Comment on Walker S1 humanoid robot starts factory work at BYD 3 months ago:
There is a difference between human-scale and humanoid.
Human-scale just means the robot needs to fit in a space designed for humans, while humanoid means it has a torso, possibly a head, two arms and two legs. - Comment on Walker S1 humanoid robot starts factory work at BYD 3 months ago:
Given that it’s a humanoid robot, I suspect that this is more of a marketing stunt than any practical deployment of robots.
Humanoid robots don’t make a ton of sense in manufacturing. Why mimic the sub-optimal anatomy of a human when you can make your robotic work slave have any appendage you want, which are designed to be optinal for their task along the assembly line?
Humanoid robots mostly only make sense in spaces that need to be designed for humans (like homes or hospitals) where the robot needs to regularly interact with human infrastructure.
- Comment on flock + ring = ice 3 months ago:
Hypothetically the police could come with a warrant and foce you to hand over the footage you recorded. It’s a higher barrier than if footage is being uploaded to the cloud, but it can still happen.
And even if the cameras are not uploading their footage to the cloud, it still wouldn’t sit well with me if every other house has a camera pointed at the public street

- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 4 months ago:
I’m no expert, but I believe this is down to the individual member states.
In my country (the NL) it is technically not allowed to film the public street with an automated camera, which effectively makes Ring and equivalents illegal to install.
Practically this is not really enforced though, so you see them everywhere anyway.
- Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds 5 months ago:
To my knowledge, there are designs which allow you to pop out the latch without the need for electronics.
However, if I’m reading the article correctly those wouldn’t be allowed either because in their default state they don’t have “enough room for a hand to grip behind them”.
That wording alone explicitely bans flush doorhandles, and not just electronic doorhandles - Comment on The EU has never been closer to agreeing on Chat Control – here's how we got here and what’s at stake 6 months ago:

- Comment on Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity 6 months ago:
While I agree that the cost of operation is a valid concern, the same argument could have been used against renewable energies like wind and solar only 30 to 40 years ago.
The price of these energie sources has come down a lot since, for a large part thanks to the modern day widespread use. We have a lot of experience generating power this way which drives down cost, and increases yield.
Novel techniques like the one described in the article don’t yet benefit from that experience and scale. And if we don’t try new things every now and then thet never will.
That is not to say all novel techniques will be equally fruitful, but if you don’t occasionally try new things you will never learn.

- Comment on Chat Control is back & we've got two months to stop the EU CSAM scanning plans. 6 months ago:
The EU is a democracy.
While it’s not perfect (no system is), each of the bodies that make up the EU legislature are democratic:
- The European Parliament is directly elected in European elections every five years
- The European Commission is made up of commissioners from each country, which are in turn appointed by their democratically elected governments
- The European Council consists of the heads of state or governance, which are also democratically elected in the respective countries.
- The Council of the European Union is made up of government ministers, which are appointed by the democratically elected governments.
Not every body is directly voted on, but each body comes forth from a democratic election

- Comment on Your favourite piece of selfhosting - Part 1 - Operating System 7 months ago:
It’s primarily NAS software, with a form of software raid functionality built in.
I like it mainly because it works well and the GUI makes is very easy to use and work with.On top of that you can run docker containers, so it is very versatile as well.
I use it to host the following services on my network:
- Nextcloud
- Jellyfin
- CUPS
It costs a bit of money up-front, but for me it was well-worth the investment.

I wish there was a good alternative to YouTube. I’ve been meaning to host a Peertube instance but that process is really not as straightforward as it should be if they want the platform to gain widespread adoption
- Comment on Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication 7 months ago:
Not op, but for me the main problem with Authy is that it is owned by an American company.
It’s not the worst offender, but any American company is subject to the whims of the current administration. As an example, we’re currently seeing how Americam sanctions lock people out of their Microsoft accounts at the International Court.

I’m a bit baffled by his hostile response. All I said is that I host and pay for my own server.
Nowhere did I claim that I host YouTube videos on that server, or that it is open to the public. I host that server for personal use, and for me and a few friends of mine. At most there is going to be two people connecting to it at once.I have looked into hosting a peertube instance, but I’ve not really gotten around to figuring out how to set that all up.
