Yeah I totally missed that.

Well TIL … I subscribed to the first two but the last one didn’t work for some reason.

One think I miss from reddit… /r/datahoarder

These were my people. I probably have 100TB but it certainly isn’t in my home directory. I’m not sure if I should be immpressed or freightened.

I have seen the temporary->permanent happen so many times even in enterprise IT.

I’m not a windows hater per se, but I am for using the best tool for the job.

And in my opinion windows is not the best tool for self hosting. There are things windows does work well for that meshes well with self hosting and that’s docker. Honestly I’d focus on that for a lot of reasons but primarily because it’s a very easy to deploy self contained way to provide services. And the differences between docker on windows and Linux is almost negligible.

This probably doesn’t help you much right now but I have a QNAP as well. And I too despise the QTS software. But I found out that TrueNAS can run on it pretty easily. I have an NVME drive on a usb-c enclosure that I installed trueNAS on and it boots fine into it. If I ever wanna go back it’s just a remove the boot drive and reformat (the ZFS pools are compatible unfortunately).

Well in his defense, that language was sorta AI generated. Very glad the project isn’t. This looks like something I’m very interested in.

Well my university just sells them. It’s all in person so there is a lottery to determine place in line because it’s popular. And for us it’s piece meal, not 900 iPads all at once. Might have to do some research to figure out where but I’d suspect most universities do this sorta stuff.

For example I’m in NC so there is this: https://www.doa.nc.gov/divisions/state-surplus-property/retail-store-locations

Yeah I just posted the same thing. I work for a university and we send useful stuff to surplus all the time. I can verify several universities in my area do in fact have warehouses with stuff like this in them.

University surplus. I work for a university and we get rid of stuff all tfe time that is still very useful.

Then why did you post? There are lots of things that get posted here that I’m not particularly interested in and I don’t post rude comments on every one of them.
