  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raspberry Pi 4B⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 will have smaller footprint than an ITX build, but at the expense of future upgradeability. On the other hand, an ITX build draws more power, but unlocks the ability 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 in the description that “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 be comparable?

  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.

  Beelink ME Mini

  Would something like this be suitable as a NAS + Jellyfin + Home Assistant box?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty slick.

  What are the HDDs plugged into? Would you mind posting some photos of the back?

  Noice! I am able to find this very thread through searxng, which seems to behave like an actual search engine with its own search results page, but I couldn’t find it through fedi-search, which seems to be little more than an auto redirect tool.

  Does PipePipe allow the user to log into their Google account, though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any front end YouTube that can allow me to still comment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Other responses have covered the “not without being logged into Google” part, so I’ll just add that if you don’t care about being logged into Google and the thing you want from a front end is Sponsor Block, then yes: YouTube in a browser with the Sponsor Block extension. On Android, the YouTube app w/ Revanced accomplishes the same thing.

  I don’t see this option on GrapheneOS, even after toggling on developer mode. Thanks anyway for chiming in.
