  • 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.













  • I am not sure what you’re working on but from your answers I’ve read you seems to need access to a lot of information with a few keystrokes, like searching for a keyword or tag.

    In my opinion you are using the wrong tool for that. Ditch the browser and learn about the Zettelkasten way of working. It is really powerful for plenty of applications like science, studies, dev, or even the way I use it, author repository of ideas/concepts/stuff I need when writing a book.

    You can do that with several software but I like obsidian for that (and because of all its plugins you could probably find something to automatically copy webpage content)

    On the downside side :

    • You’ll have to learn Zettelkasten, Obsidian etc
    • Obviously do the work of writing (or copy pasting) your vault.

    But on the plus size :

    • You’ll have all the information you need at your fingertips, searchable with keywords, tags, associations etc.
    • Everything is basic text MD files so it will still be readable by any text editor or terminal in the next century.
    • You can have images, run code, do some mathlib, jupyter etc inside.
    • Text is light, easy to store, backup and retrieve.
    • If you do good enough you can have a satisfying visual representation of your new brain, kinda mindmap (which is also possible)

    I play it since launch and it is not laggy (if it becomes laggy just change server). It had some connection problems at first but nothing too bad, you just had to retry once or twice.

    The major problems players complained were not enough helicopters spawn use to “fast travel” around the map (leading to queues of people waiting for an airlift or just walking to destination) and some AI having god sight and shooting you in bushes.

    There’s been several updates and the roadmap is public.

    I enjoy the game but I play very slowly, I still haven’t unlocked everything. The missions are nice, I like walking in the nature to enjoy the scenery and snipe people.

    I like that it is PVE or PVPVE. Other players are usually helpful and talks on the proximity chat (at least on pve) so you can be a lone wolf and participate in a more difficult assault with randoms passing by.

    I’d say look at some YouTube reviews but be aware, some of those players finished the game in 48 hours and are complaining that they have nothing left to do (duh) so they want updates (which are coming).

    If I hadn’t already I would definitely buy the game, maybe not on full price.


  • 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.
