I want to look into quadlets

I recommend going with an N100 based system if you want low power usage. I doubt old workstations that support multiple drives idle near 10W, the mini PC variants might, but they would require a DAS for the HDD’s.

I have personally chosen an ASUS N100I-D D4 motherboard with a m.2 to 6x SATA card and it has been working fairly well.

I seriously doubt those stay below the desired power usage

Interesting project

I also have the problem OP mentioned, even after upgrading to 128 GiB RAM. I’ve had it on Kubuntu, KDE Neon, Fedora KDE and OpenSUSE TW, so I suspect it’s a KDE Plasma issue.

I personally didn’t dislike NuGet that much, but that’s coming from someone who has been working with CMake for the last couple of months 😄

TLDR: Rust, Go and other modern languages don’t use more dependencies than C/C++, but have larger binaries due to including libraries into the executable binary. This trade-off was chosen to ensure you can reliably run the executable on various systems without dependency issues.

I personally have gone with both options on several occasions. Being able to include an HTTP client without having to debug someone’s cURL installation is certainly worth a few extra MiB’s of disk space. However, I’ve also used C instead of Rust to avoid a very simple CLI program turning into several MiB’s large binary (due to statically including the Rust std lib).

I do have some issues with read speeds but that’s probably networking related or due to using RAID5.

Why did you decide to go with Rakulang?

17W for an N100 system with 4 HDD’s

There is 1 leftover slot, but it’s PCI Express 3.0 x1 lanes. That won’t be sufficient for, right?

I don’t have an available slot for another NVMe, and I wanted to avoid SATA because the prices are too similar despite the performance difference.

Cool. I haven’t transcoded most of my music to a supported format yet, but I might try this out after I have.

I see a variation of this headline every couple of years, it’s continued existence disproves itself.

According to firelight I have 457 GiB in my home directory, 85 GiB of that is games, but I also have several virtual machines which take up about 100 GiB. The / folder contains 38 GiB most of which is due to the nix store (15 GiB) and system libraries (/usr is 22.5 GiB). I made a post about trying to figure out what was taking up storage 9 months ago. It’s probably time to try pruning docker again.

EDIT: ncdu says I’ve stored 129.1 TiB lol

EDIT 2: docker and podman are using about 100 GiB of images.

I haven’t, I’ll try that

EDIT: I’ve tried it and it had little effect

Thanks for citing sources

Thanks for the advice, I’m probably going to need about 2-3 TiB. I guess I’ll just need to figure out a way to offload some more data to my server to keep it under 2 TiB.

I thought it was pretty good, especially for nautical navigation

I saw it and refreshed the ublock filters and everything works again
