  • Hardware related on a Linux home built NAS.

    My mobo has 2 nvme ports and supports 10th and 11th gen intel cpu. I have a 10th gen i5 and 2 nvme ssd for cache.

    The biggest 512Gb ssd is on the front (normal) side of the mobo, under a heatsink. The smaller 128Gb is under the mobo, inaccessible once fixed onto the case.

    In bios and in OS I can’t see the 512 cache drive, only the 128. Quick RTFM on the motherboard manual states: “Front nvme slot only works with 11th gen cpu”.

    FFS 🤦‍♂️

    The server is fully built in a hard to fit everything ITX case.

    Guess who is having only 128Gb cache instead of disassembling everything ?


  • I feel you. This ITX build is replacing a giant supermicro dual everything beast. I just kept its HDDs and moved everything to the Unraid ITX + some docker running on a M2 MacMini that is always on anyway.

    I said to myself that I’ll resell the supermicro on auctions but still haven’t started to disassemble it.

    Fun fact about divorce. A cute Jonsbo N3 with big Noctua fans is way more for peace and love at home than a 20Kg Supermicro chassis.



  • I was going to post the same link, I generally take inspiration from that forum and then adapt with what I can find on eBay etc for cheap. The prices they give are for US eBay and not always suitable to EU eBay.

    I’ve just finished my new NAS using Unraid OS and some info from the forum.

    • Jonsbo N3 case
    • Gigabyte Z590i Vision D motherboard
    • Intel i5 10400T
    • 2x16Gb DDR4 2666 (basic corsair)
    • LSI 9207-8i HBA in IT-Mode
    • An old 128Gb M2 SSD
    • 8x6Tb HGST SAS drives
    • Corsair SF600 PSU

    It took me more than 6 months to find all the parts at a correct price but I was not in a rush.

    It’s 2.5Gbe and not 10Gb SFP but you get the idea. The cost was really low (lower than 1000) because I already had the HDDs from an older server. It should be around 1500€ max with the disks.

    The real downside of doing that is the time it takes but it’s also a kind of pleasure to hunt for parts and one day assemble them all.


  • Ah ah yes thanks I try to dream and be positive even if it’s sometimes dumb 😁

    Another thing I forgot is that Airbus (and all EU aviation) are applying the HRO (high reliability organization) and just culture for a long time now.

    I have read somewhere that Boeing started implementing just culture after the Max crashes, so very late. And apparently wrongly as some employees still fear repercussions if they make safety reports (and according to latest NTSB report 2 employees had been punish lately for that reason).

    If true that is totally unbelievable.


  • Yeah I’m not sure about that. Work culture, and even C suite culture, is very different in Europe.

    Airbus publicly said they want Boeing to continue being a good opponent. The comments on this video talks a lot about working for one or the other manufacturer and the differences in the way people are treated.

    Airbus is still lead by an engineer and not an accountant. That could change for sure but EU country won’t let it slip to a shit company as easy as it happened in the US, just because of our culture.

    Worst case scenario, French, German, Spanish and other Airbus locations will go on strikes and riots if conditions are getting worse.





  • Tbh French far right and some Christian are crying here as well. Basically saying the whole ceremony was a disgrace, woke bla-bla-bla, they even criticized the kids at the beginning for being “from immigration”.

    The funny thing is that organizers decided to annoy the fuck out of them when the announcement of Aya Nakamura (the woman singing with the national guard during the ceremony) was received with racism from far right and twitter.

    That day they said to themselves “ok, we’re going full inclusive and fuck then all”.

    That’s a job well done, bonus point for making maga cult cry as well from the other side of the Atlantic.


  • I’ve read it was just to shit with Microsoft by announcing that computers were tools of the past for gaming AND non gaming (and earn money).

    Pushing Microsoft to invest billions to develop the Xbox on Windows (which ultimately did not run on windows) to shit with Sony, and earn money…



  • I solved that problem by using a tiling window manager on every OS. Configure it to use your favorite shortcuts (from i3wm in this case), put super + spacebar as the whatever launcher you like and tadaaaa!

    Everything feels more or less the same.

    I do that since I became addicted to i3wm years ago. The worst part is just remembering the keywords to type in the launcher according to what OS you’re on.



  • I’m not the audience for Mac gaming but I discovered that my “work dedicated” Mac mini M2 pro is an amazing machine for afk flying 14h flights on Xplane12. Specially during summer heat waves where the windows gaming rig is just a huge space heater.

    So yeah I believe the target is people wanting only one rig to do everything but still use MacOS as a daily. Probably those with a MacBookPro M3-something. You could already do it with streaming, now with the M chips you can play AAA locally as well.
