Touch starved edition

previous: >>107600533

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.

I was bored so I tested ReFS by itself, with integrity streams (checksumming), with blitlocker encryption, and with integrity streams and bitlocker encryption using CrystalDiskMark default tests on a VHDX hosted on a pci-e 4 nvme ssd

A while ago I was complaining about gpu passthrough, and just couldn't find anything about it. The issue was that linux was setting the powerstate to d3cold when the quadro rtx4000 I was using didn't really have support for that and couldn't recover. Turns out that the solution was to just to add this systemd service.

[Unit]
Description=Disable D3cold for passthrough GPU
After=default.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:c1:00.0/d3cold_allowed'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


My 70 iq self couldn't find anything relevent throught google, but it only took 5 minutes with chatgpt to turn this error code.
kvm: ../hw/pci/pci.c:1654: pci_irq_handler: Assertion 0 <= irq_num && irq_num < PCI_NUM_PINS' failed.

into the above solution.

i guess i have exceptionally low quality cage nuts but this is ridiculous. seems i'm the only person in the world with this issue. even with the screw tightened to well past snug, deforming the plastic washer, it's not firmly attached, it wiggles against the rail. imagine the red line is the rack rail and the blue line is locked against the cage nut which wiggles. what gives?

I got $1.5k on hand right now with more on the way and I'm fed up with being a unprepared for the apocalypse. What gear should I invest in while I still can?

I got two 14TB Toshiba drives as my most valuable assets in my desktop PC thus far (excluding non ECC memory) but I've never gone fully pro, workstation at best. I desire a home archive and science station now.

Gas masks with filters for radioactive iodine and ideally caesium, water filters, a gun to shoot yourself with.
