Another thing they may have in mind is ATX PSUs. The pinouts on those for the same physical plug vary not only by maker and model but sometimes even by year. So if you get an aftermarket ATX-to-SATA plug that fits just fine in the SATA plug on your ATX PSU, it may fry your drives when you plug it in. Don’t ask me how I know.
- Comment on NAS build guidance - choice paralysis 1 day ago:
Personally I’m too paranoid about security and sus of Intel to be comfortable with vPro but you do you.
That said, I’d go for 1, considering you already have thay 6th gen on hand in case you need a spare.
Otherwise 3 or 4 (whichever is available on secondary markets for a decent price) and hang on to that Pentium in case need arises. Doesn’t sound like the extra power draw of an i7 is worth it for this build.
- Comment on Self hosting hardware - what are your experiences with Lenovo ThinkCentre as homelab server? 1 day ago:
Up to 300 or so could be reasonable if the RAM and SSD are decent.

Not if you manage 10 PCs and a few servers across the family.

I always heard the first rule as “stay grounded”. Having 1TB of RAM just as backup sounds npt gronded.
A spare kit or two should be enough for most folks.

SWIM has a sizable aged library - wouldn’t be surprising with sqlite db corruptions by now - and absolutely no issues smoothly upgrading to 10.11. Had sweaty upgrades a few times over the years but this was not one of them.

Now if we could just sort the jf collections type in ways other than by date ;)
Sounds like Good First Issue material! (;

There is one part in the post mentioning how to “pad holes” in fail8ng areas. Maybe I should edit the post with some details around aligning reserved address space.
Otherwise, corruption of the RAM itself doea not usually spread like mold in bread or wear out and fail in similar ways to flash memory.
