I know it is a bit complex, but after seeing the shenanigans Synology tried to play and reading review about Ugreen NAS units and how they seem to connect to external servers often, I just decided to roll my own TrueNAS build.
I am using an AMD Ryzen 4600G, 32GB of RAM, a 500GB boot SSD, the only mATX board I could find with six SATA ports, the Asus B550m Pro4 and a Corsair SF750 750W PSU to power it all.
I will if I can, as it stands I have four 8TB seagate drives, enough for my actual storage need, but I want to have two parity drives for extra protection.
I am planning on running ZFS with Zraid2, the drives are the final piece of the puzzle to at least get it working.
When I planned the build, I planned to get another controller card and run two SSDs as well, one for cache (I can add that later), and one for VM/App storage, I also planned on getting an Intel GPU for transcoding video, and a 10Gig NIC, mainly just to say I have it, as my network isn’t more than normal gigabit.
It is getting more important to complete the build as I need to move my media from single, non raided hard drives in my computer to a well raided server that I can configure for bitrot protection.
I do see that another retailer has drives in stock, but at about 40-50% more than I paid back in October
I get paid on the 27th, I need two more 8TB drives to complete my NAS, my local retailer had 50+ in stock earlier this week, and now the drives are no longer even listed.
Fuck sake…
True enough
Well, for once, I agree with Putin, feels weird.
Oh no, not again.
This is the livery he tried to get put on the aircraft last time.
It is so generic:
I just imagine an LLM as an attractive woman in a business suit with a clear name tag, pretty to look at, but someone who represents a business nothing more.
Human nature, we have personified objects for millennia, humans have personified everything from the sun, to automatic rifles, to boats, to the weather, to cars, to mountains and much much more.
Remember religion? It makes people personify a concept.
Now, none of what we have personified in the past have ever been able to respond to us directly, people sang to the weather for rain, the weather never responded at all, let alone by talking, but people would recognize patterns that could be seen as a response if interpreted correctly.
So people thought they could talk to the weather.
People pray to god, and as people are excellent at pattern recognition they would interpret any random coincidence as an answer.
People are personifying LLMs as they see it as a magic computer that is friendly and can respond naturally in their own language, with semi verifiable facts.
There are a few reasons as to why personifying LLMs have been super charged compared to other things.
Look at point 1, normal language matters a LOT, people are comfortable with normal language, even if the grammar is obvious and slightly weird.
Point 2, this means that the user can feel as is the entity can remember added details later in the conversation.
Point 3, this is an important point, seeing as the major LLMs now have access to the internet, they can now answer questions and quote sources, sources that most people skip reading, yet believes that the mere presence of source links is enough to verify the data.
Point 4, this makes it so that the user get’s emotionally invested, amplifying the effect of the above points
Yeah, it is WAY too easy to personify an LLM.
It is also surprising how many people don’t seem to care.
That is a good way to think about it!
Damn it, I now see that my local IT store have had to postpone delivery of Seagate drives as well, I have four 8TB Seagate NAS drives in my new NAS I am building, I just need two more to complete the build.
So looks like I am going Toshiba for the last two drives + one cold spare.
Oh fuck…
I just need two more 8TB drives so I can complete my NAS, that is all. Don’t blow up now! Please…
):
Ofcourse they will, they will just not publish the data
A smartphone that you don’t sign into or use any apps on.
Hey!
Fisheye lenses do exist
Absolutely, but we both know nothing about how the situation would be if the internet didn’t exist.
No three-letter agency can crack this device.
Have crowbars become that expensive?
Wow!
without internet i would’ve fallen in depression because i couldn’t have talked to some people that helped me not fall
That is speculation, not concrete fact.
Without the internet all of our lives would be radically different, so it is not possible to say what would have happened in any specific instance.
To be perfectly honest, I don’t know what GFS is, I have been a Linux sysadmin for a few years, but never came across that.
We used LVM and ext4 for the storage in those VMs
