that hard drive prices return to normal and think about all the things i can build.

silliness aside, i honestly sit there and plan it out. i wish i pulled the trigger and started earlier. i actually bought two mini pcs before this mess and have one setup running proxmox. o have this beautiful jellyfin -> jellyseer -> radarr/sonarr -> sazbd -> gluetun -> newsreader setup on proxmox and i founf 1 8tb wd red plus on sale that i put in a ugreen nas running truenas and its filling up quickly.

i wont move to nextcloud until i get a second drive for mirroring. i still have to find a place to backup those future files as well.

there is not really a point tp this post except i know people here feel my pain. how i dream of buy a few 12 tb drives.

for now i find stuff and put price alerts on them. o have tried ebay but i dont always get what i pay for. like buying wlanlisting that says wd red plus cmr and getting a wd red (non plus) smr.

i fantasize about the cool rack setup i could build. right now everything, jellyfin stack, home assistant, glance dashboard, pteradactyl, netbird , anf any vm i want to play with all on one proxmox mini pc. next comes books

sorry for the rant but maybe you can relate

        Update, kernel panic happened today, so I updated the BIOS settings:

        • tCL (CAS Latency): Change from 11 to 12
        • tRCD: Change from 11 to 12
        • tRP: Change from 11 to 12
        • tRAS: Change from 28 to 32
        • DRAM voltage changed from 1.488 to 1.530

        All the initial values were Auto values. I’ll let it sit for at least a month with no reboots before calling it fixed. I’ll set a reminder

            The server has now been running non-stop without an issue for 30 days, so I assume the problem was fixed by the suggestion!

              Hey, thanks for the update ! The fact that this kind of fine tunning could save a failing setup (especially regarding RAM prices nowadays) is some very valuable knowledge !

                Definitely, I had also done a lot of investigation and assumed that when I isolated the problem to the RAM there was almost nothing more I could do expect cry and wait for the inevitable torturous moment I’d have to open my wallet amid sky high prices.
