Bit late with the reply here but I have a Moto Edge 30 neo and the size is great for me.

People I work with can't comprehend that I don't want a TV in my pocket for messaging my wife.

Hey all, Happy seasons greetings to you all!

So I've just got hold of one these from a friend who was just going to throw it away and thought it's going to be better than my i5 based rig I'm using at the minute.

The spec is: HP Z800
Processor #1: 2.66 GHz Hex-Core Xeon (X5650) - 6.40 GT/12MB
Processor #2: 2.66 GHz Hex-Core Xeon (X5650) - 6.40 GT/12MB
Memory: 24GB - (6 x 4GB) - DDR3 ECC Reg - 1333Mhz
Hard Drive #1: ATA Crucial_CT250mX2 SCSI Solid State Disk - Actual size 231GB
Hard Drive #2: ATA CT1000MX500SSD1 SCSI Solid State Disk - Actual size 931GB
Hard Drive #3: No Hard Drive #3
Hard Drive #4: No Hard Drive #4
Graphics Card: nVidia Quadro 4000 - 2GB GDDR5 - 1 x Dual DVI & 2 x DisplayPort
Optical Drive: 5.25" DVD-RW
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
WiFi Adapter: TP-Link 300Mbps Wireless N Adapter

I'm not really worried about the SSD, optical drive or the WiFi card so they will likely go the journey.

My thoughts were yes it's got a few years on it but it's a lot more expandable than what I'm currently using from 2015 which has an i5 CPU and 16GB of ram.

Since it has two NICs on it I was thinking of running Frigate as a docker which I'm guessing I could direct cuts ait to use one NIC and everything else to the other, does that sound a reasonable plan?

So, is this a worthy replacement for my old server or should I send it to server heaven?

Not likely to start any works on it until the new year so have a little time and was considering buying one of these anyway to remove the data from the onboard sata ports on my current server anyway. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325677573475?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20221115143302%26meid%3D831118de48074e6baa2613a2932530b2%26pid%3D101613%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dag%26itm%3D325677573475%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2Mobile%26brand%3DDell&_trksid=p4375194.c101613.m146925&_trkparms=parentrq%3Aca49357918b0a8d34d37089efffff9e6%7Cpageci%3Adf4c5619-825f-11ee-9639-aefcf921261f%7Ciid%3A1%7Cvlpname%3Avlp_homepage

Thanks everyone and Happy Christmas to you all.

Love this show, though I do prefer the earlier seasons as it showed a little more involvement of the officers and how much a conviction meant to them.

Later seasons, this has reduced and focuses on bigger cases, which are great, but it's lost showing the human side of modern policing.

Also, the voice over feels a lot different since Zawe Ashton went off to play in the MCU.

250GB - cache
1TB - Pool
2TB - Pool
10TB - Parity

With only 3TB in the pool you're going to be increasing the size of the pool potentially quite quickly depending on if you're ripping DVDs or Blu-Rays to it.

You'll soon need another drive to boost that pool size and I promise, that parity will keep those tears at bay if something happens.

 

So I've recently had a power cut that caused a few issues though I had just bought a new 8TB ironwolf to replace a couple of older 1TB drives from the dawn of time.

Typically though, this drive was DOA and the issues have taken out one of the 1TB drives.

I've bought a new 8TB WD Red that works great. I've used unbalance to migrate the old drives data to the new drive so I can get rid of them as they were starting to show smart errors.

My question is this.

The seemingly dead 1TB looks like it's working through a USB to SATA adaptor on unassigned devices and I would like to get the data from it back on my array but I'm unsure of the command to use with rsync to copy it from the old drive to the new array drive.

Obviously unbalance can't see it as it's an unassigned device.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

I'm about to pile into my 50th and older games for me can be emulated on a pocket watch 😂

I love my late 80s early nineties schmups so I play on my son's deck through retrodeck when he's asleep.

That and taxi offices. They were my local go to when I couldn't get to the beach to go to the arcades.

Love these write ups. I lived through the platform wars fighting on the side of Light (Spectrum) against the hordes of darkness (C64) and the one grey teary Amstrad user.

Loved Bomb Jack, it's a great game and I think it's going into the curriculum for the kids next week to show them a great game with a simple game dynamic compared to them playing tosh on Roblox all of the time.

I remember playing the arcade on a ferry to France as part of a school trip. Best part of the trip was this cab.

Thanks for the memories.

Depending on how far you got, you might not understand it anyway.

Similar issue here, full fibre roll out is estimated to be complete in 2025.

I'm just outside Newcastle on the coast and could get Virgin but my neighbours have had a nightmare with it.

They only rolled out their fibre about three months ago so there might be issues with that

Where the hell in the UK are you? I'm in the North and pay £26 for 60mbps but get more like 70 due to how close I am to the street cabinet though I haven't even got copper cable here, just crappy aluminium that is so old I think Alexander Graham Bell himself fitted them.

I usually scan my media with Media Elch before I move it into Kodi/Jellyfin then I know the files and folders have the right names and all Metadata is correct.

TV shows are grabbed, named and tidied with pyMedusa.

I use Kodi on a RaspberryPi with the Jellyfin add-on so if I watch something remotely then the watched status is synced everywhere.
