READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

Does anyone know of any economical way to use a bunch of older / smaller HDDs on a system that can't fit more internal HDDs (as in, no more physical space and no more ports)?

I'm going to remove 9 3TB HDDs from my server since I replaced this old array with a new one using 16TB drives instead. Still these HDDs are all working perfectly fine, so it would be nice to use them for backup storage instead. Problem is that my backup PC is already full of drives.

I've looked for multi-bay USB enclosures but these seem to be so expensive that buying one for 3TB drives isn't worth it really. Like I can get a new 10TB+ external drive for the money a 5-bay enclosure costs. Doesn't seem worth it to pay that much to use old and relatively small drives. The alternative would be to get a bigger case and put in a HBA into my backup PC, but a case with a lot of 3.5" HDD bays also seems to be pretty spicy nowadays.

How the hell do my fellow /hsg/ anons make use of old, lower capacity drives?

>Second backup server
I don't see that being cheaper than getting a bigger case for the current backup server
>cold storage backup
It's already kind of cold, I turn it on once a month to update it (or whenever I need to recover something from the backup, obviously). Other than that it's turned off and even disconnected physically from power so a grid fuckup or something can't destroy my server along with the backup too.

>>107734888
It's called a JBOD, MD1200 for example (i don't really recommend that one for home, it's pretty loud, you need to solder a DIN5 serial cable for hidden fan control). Assuming you have a SAS HBA in your PC/server, you just connect it with a SAS cable, it's that easy. Do not buy USB enclosures, they will have a shitty JMicron/ASMedia controller that can eat your data.
Or you could instead use those drives like i do, cold storage for less important data (stuff that's should be easy to redownload if things go wrong), to free up some space on my main and backup.
I have 4x20TB RAIDZ1 as my main 24/7, 5x16TB RAIDZ1 cold backup i pop in once a month in my JBOD to sync, and 4x3TB drives for this less important data (not backed up elsewhere).

>I figure that if I can convert the whole thing to an expression it can compute it without branching:
you are fucking yourself over and avoiding all of the hardware and shader compiler support for handling this sort of thing without branching by using ancient branchless programming tricks
and if you're going to try and actively do that sort of thing in case you don't trust the shader compiler make use of the dedicated shader builtins for avoiding/reducing branches and not CPU SIMD techniques from back when SIMD instructions were literally only capable of arithmetic
like the balloting related APIs or some of the features of subgroups (i don't know what HLSL calls them)

also even if it doesn't avoid it gpu hardware can handle branching considerably better now

Because MS's NT kernel was such garbage that Linux - which LARPed as a monokernel despite copying its API from a microkernel - managed to beat them across the board. And Linux wasn't even the worst UNIX derivative out there.

Many political strategists believe the optimal window for China to annex Taiwan is around 2026-2027. Perhaps Sam Altman had prior knowledge which lead to his decision to order 40% of the global RAM supply (raw, uncut wafers that can be warehoused) in preparation of the enviable. As this order is being fulfilled tech companies will be forced to develop non-Taiwanese supply chains immediately. In the end result OpenAI would have the world's largest reserve of critical AI infrastructure components.

Hello /g/ I'm trying to play MGS4 on my PS3 (PC doesn't run it), but it scales awfully on my monitor! My room is also not one of the rooms you can really put a TV in without doing bed gaming, which I hate. So I either play games on a shitty resolution scale, or I shit up my back and have to work on bolting this huge TV for the fifth time when my room doesn't fit a TV, like I said before.

I own an AOC 250645 or something like that. It must have been a chink scam since I've only seen it on the day where I bought it at the mall.
