I’ve gone with Unraid and consumer level hardware (intel i3 12100 and 16gb of standard ddr4 ram) the only “server hardware” I have, is an LSI HBA card that’s in IT mode so I can connect more HDDs.

I’m even used SMR drives in my array, just use a good CMR drive for parity and the biggest SSD you can get for your cache drive and you will be good to go.

Yes.

They is.

Gotta love a good TLA.

Hot to touch, and now its warn to touch.

Its the stock CPU cooler that comes with the newer Intel’s (this is a 12th gen i3)

I tried just the fan on it’s own, but gravity always left it sat at the bottem of my case.

Always, if it’s not, you need more zip ties.

This isn’t a high rpm fan, it’s enough to keep the LSI card cool.

If you don’t want your ethnicity to change, I would say its vital.

Would it not be super cool to have all those minerals until we have extracted that much from the moon that it’s orbit becomes unstable and then spirals into earth?

It’s like we have learnt nothing, “let’s strip another celestial body of its minerals then fuck off onto the next when we have had our fill.”

Those 3 points sound like a reason to be a threat to national secuirry for any nation that’s not golfing buddies with China.
