If you want a lot of NVMe sockets, my recommendation would be the Lenovo M920x. It has 2 on board. Then you can add a special riser card, which gives you 2 more + a 8x PCIe slot.
Which gives you 4 NVMe slots + SATA + one 8x PCIe slot and not counting the B-Key WiFi slot which also has PCIe.

Why z wave over zigbee?

They forked Adguard home and made it use very little RAM.
- Comment on how often do your 3rdparty "refurb" drives last? 5 days ago:
I bought in total 4x 10TB hard drives from eBay. I had one of them fail quite quickly (6 months of use or something like that).

Well you can get an LG, root it and then disconnect it from the network, problem solved.

I tried athelia and Authentic, and it somehow was not what I was looking for, too much for my needs.
Then I tried tinyauth, which was too little (no User Management at all, users have to be defined in a text file or via Environment variables)
I am now using Voidauth and I am very happy with it. It does what I need perfectly and without a hassle. Which is: Users and Groups, invite links for new users, LDAP server and first of all, it is very easy to use.

Well, I am going to pass on that AI project…

The are stack should not be public… there should at most be one public ip for that.

Quad9 has a ddns?

Seriously the amount of times tailscale is mentioned I this community, I start to think it’s just a big ad.
If it is only me who accesses it, I can just use WireGuard with a dyndns, it’s easy enough to setup and does not rely on some company.
If I want others to access it, tailscale is just another hurdle to them.

One-to-one mirror for every drive might be excessive… just a 1 or two drive parity system should be fine for most home use cases

- Comment on DC UPS for router? 1 month ago:
For me that was literally the first unsponsored Amazon find for the term “router UPS”

Search for “router UPS”
For example there is one from APC “# APC Back-UPS Connect 12V DC 36W - CP12036LI”

- Comment on Feasibility & sanity check: Scaling a P330 Tiny to a 3-node Proxmox cluster 1 month ago:
+1 on the zfs replication. That’s what I use as well with a 3 node cluster. Gives redundancy and high availability without building a ceph cluster (which needs 4 nodes if I remember correctly)
- Comment on Where to start with setting up my own server? 1 month ago:
12th Gen is definitively neat, but overkill for what you are doing. 8th or 9th gen is fine. 16gigs is fine, 8gig would also work
I really like the Lenovo m720q line of mini pcs (used/refurb) but they will not fit an hdd.

Nobody makes their own PCBs at home anymore. You likely order them from JLCPCB or pcbway. Look up KiCAD on how to design them.
