Do you sell your services? What is all this hardware for?
12.12V at room temp is around 30% state of charge. That means they’ve been sitting on someone’s shelf for around a year. I like to see my new batteries between 12.6-12.9V.
Chia is a slow rug pull. The prefarmed is alreafy getting sold each month the price is getting tanked each time. In the beginning, in the white paper, they mentioned they wouldn't touch the prefarmed, but after they start selling them, then its not worth the time and effort to farm or buy the coin.
Cat door. You get it? 😅
Hey this is a bit of an old video, but how do you protect your harddrives for power losses etc. I mean i know you run an UPS, but let's say that you're running out of juice in the battery - how does it safely power down seeing you are using that physical power button in the back. Thanks for great videos btw, it's been inspiring me to get a DE6600 too, very close to pulling the trigger tbh.
Luckily its a massive UPS. I do have truenas set to shutdown with 5 mins of no power, which has happened only twice so far. This protects the state of the data in ZFS adequately in case of extended power loss. Have had no corruption detected in scrubs. The jbods themselves only ever power up and down directly. There is no soft off powerdown button on any enterprise JBOD I have seen so far if that is what you are asking. I do usually switch them off from the PDU however and not the physical button, but its essentially the same. In short it powering down is its safe powering down. You protect your data at the controller level and of course should not physically be powering up and down your JBODS frequently. JBODs are intended to stay running 24/7/365 but powering them off is reality also, even in datacenters.
350? How about 35?
Hi, can someone help? Long story short. I have small/micro farm. 12x14TB of HHDs and I just started to re-plot from C7 to C31. From the beginning I'm farming on SpacePool. While I have more and more new plots, I see that my farm going down, but i thing that I'm farming more. Is it possible? Do I have to change pool, to non official node or something? Or, few days its just too short amount of time, and I'm paranoiac? I do it just as a hobby, and I didn't use gigahorse before, so i'm not sure I'm doing it properly. Sorry for my English i hope U can understand what I trying to say. ;)
I just got the SAS9300-16i, I’m seeing the latest firmware Broadcom offers is P16, is that normal? No P20 for IT mode that I can find
I'm not sure if the 9300 went past 16 or 18, but I'm pretty sure it didn't hit 20. Check the STH forums but 16 sounds right IIRC for the 9300-16
@@DigitalSpaceport many thanks! Would there be any adverse affects using this card in my truenas scale build for ultrastar drives or should everything be okay?
@speedracer9132 as long as it's in IT mode and 16, I think you are okay
My basement is 94F right now and my servers are very angry!!!
These vibes resonate
Seems like the CPU heatsink is mounted as an intake, while all of the case fans are mounted as exhausts. Wouldn't they be working against one another that way?
Those Asrock boards are now ~$900. What a crazy price difference in 10 months.
Bro how to make remote server
I have z640, which only has 2 six pin power connectors and a 4 pin molex. How can I power additional hard drives for a jbod?
Hey buddy, well done on a run through of the magnificent DE6600 :) Just a FYI, there is no measurement called "Amperage", the correct term is current.
I perfume Velcro, but when in Rome...... and the start-up sounds like the sirens from Silent Hill
Love ur video. I'm wondering if the motherboard will support regular GPU (non quadro). Thanks 🙏❤
Yes it works just fine with 3090s or A5000s. It is running a 3070 right now.
@@DigitalSpaceport thanks so much ❤️
-Rustdesk direct connect works perfectly from Android to Windows using Tailscale. - Rustdesk direct connect from Windows to an Android phone does not work via Tailscale or LAN, even with input enabled in Accessibility. We have two S24 Ultras with Android 14 and it doesn't work on either. - I installed Phone Link on one of them and that works perfectly when enabled in Accessibility. Phone Link uses the LAN, which is fine for home, but with secure public hotspots, you have no LAN unless you cobble.

Thanks for the great details. Quick question. Why you decided to use TureNAS Core instead of TrueNAS Scale?
What's the most critical step to ensure high availability for home network routing using OpenSense or pfSense in a virtualized environment like Proxmox? Please do more videos analyzing RWA projects.
Hi there, i am farming for 3 years in windows, i got an email from Hpool it says all farming machines should update to latest Hpool miner, i updated my two systems, first one is ok. but second one i am getting invalid plots error and i could not find the solution, do you have an idea about it?
Such a cool video. I adore this shit. I’m gonna build something similar with TrueNAS, gaming PC’s local, remote bare-metal gaming PC, and 3 gaming VMs using a shared Tesla and a dedicated RTX 3060, just for the fun of it and to learn. iPerf is fine for testing, but good luck getting anything remotely close from an UNRAID array unless you carefully lay out the data across all the disks and then query them consistently. Unraid is slow, even with NVMe, for numerous reasons.
How can I ensure seamless migration of VMs in Proxmox clusters without risking data loss or downtime? Could you make a video on what to do with our Crypto gains if we want to keep them on the blockchain? Maybe put them in RWA projects?
Yeah..... I'm new to NAS and have been researching between TrueNas and Unraid. Would love to give Unraid a try, but not at their ridiculous pricing structure when theres a free TrueNas option.. Pass on Unraid for me. I'll also die on this hill, curious if many others that are new will as well, would be interesting to see if it eventually leads to a shrinking dying community of users for Unraid.
what would be nice is if you can have a text file that can be read on the same USB stick to assist in setup whether it's unattended or "I REALLY don't want to bother with these settings so I will set this up and leave it to prompt me about the security questions when it arises" The ease of use can vary from "harder daddy..." all the way to "let's do a survey so my server can better handle me" and with those there can be easier UI designs or even websites saying "hey, you can backup your text file here" because... it would probably only fill a SQL query... OMG I used to just host a lot in SQL because the webhost said "you get 50MB storage... but unlimited SQL"
You keep praising TrueNAS before you even get to Unraid which makes me believe that you already declared a winner before you even started, I am confused
Hi! 😊 I think each has a lot of strong points and each also has a lot of trade-offs. I personally use both in a manner that fits those strong points and we are very lucky to have great software that makes things easy. I'm pretty sure the container and VM sections I did not come out with much in the way of praise for TrueNAS. If those aspects are important for a user, that's a major tipping point in favor of UnRaid
Do You need 2 GPUs to do this? Jeff from Craft computing mentioned that You still need one gpu for proxmox interface.
No, you do not need more than 1 GPU. In this installation and example I only have one GPU. The Proxmox interface is accessible via your home network after installation.
I like your build :D I'm doing something similar, consolidating 2 Older Xeon D-2100 Servers in my homelab and just purchased an EPYC 7313 & GB MZ32-AR1 and will be using an older SuperMicro CSE-836 I had lying around. Hoping it'll be the same or slightly lower on power, but I really needed more ram and PCIe Slots. Thanks for the insightful video!
You made a great choice on the CSE-836 case. I'm thinking of making a big switch to big supermicro cases. They just are the best.
Does it matter when i have only 1 pin bent?
I dont know. It would depend on the signaling that pin provides. I would straighten the pin if its just one.
Is your store down? I can't seem to access it.
It was but it's back up now. Got hit with the transition of a few domains I neglected to move from Google domains and that got transferred to square space. Thanks for the heads up.
I have 640 c0 plots. Should I replot to compressed plots or just quit? I have 3080 gpu and 64 system ram.
I couldn’t tell if all the extra ram in the server made a big difference for true nas?
Yeah that is satisfying
I do satellite tv. I can understand having some slack in the lines in case work has to be done later, but why leave that much of the orange fiber cable? Just seems like over kill.
10Gbps... YES PLEASE!
Where was the Unraid USB plugged in at?
will this operate less than full? also whats the max capacity drive it can take and last question, can it run Raid 1?
Excelent Video.
This worked for my mini 710 in a R620! Thanks!
I am also pro reducing eWaste but the main problem is the cost of electricity. Most home lab tech's will want the lostest power consumption as possible which means brand new or very specific hadware options.
The Asus Flashstor Gen2 will blow this out of the water
I hope that panel isn’t metal because if you’re putting anything that that uses wireless communications inside, you have absolutely absolutely no clue what you’re doing
Where can i find a JBOD on the cheap? my other options is upgrade all my drives to a larger capacity.
What setup do you use to reach the server via iDrac ? I got an old FirefoxPortable that accepts outdated certificates and also keep an old java7 version installed that can run the console window. Is there a batter way ?
💪🏾💪🏾
I hope you are now recording with a gimbal. That was bit dizzy in the middle
seems that your patch cables are quite thin. 1. What size are those patches? 2. What size you're using from switches to servers and routers?
Some motherboards (msi trx40 creator for example) allow you to fix the 2nd pcie slot at X8 and only drop it down if you explicitly set it to bifurcate ....
You don’t run into problems with Unraid at 300 drives, you run into it at 30 drives. It doesn’t even see all the drives in my storage server. Pretty pathetic. Had me baffled for a while doing hardware troubleshooting.
I have both, each running ~150TB of storage. TrueNAS can’t be beat for NAS-only. Shove in 1 TB RAM, get yourself a fast card and switch and forget about it. It’s fast and stable. What else could be more important? What I like about Unraid is that if you lose both parity drives, and then you lose another drive, you only lose that one drive. Same scenario in TrueNAS and you’d lose the array. Container and App Store is good. Things I don’t like, speed and stability primarily, which is kinda poor for a NAS. I’ve found that what’s better than Unraid OR TrueNAS, is an Unraid backup server with a primary NAS as TruNAS inside a VM in Proxmox, only used as a NAS, with VM’s and containers in Proxmox, using TrueNAS as an iSCSI target for fast storage outside of the Proxmox node,and as part of a cluster.
