I've been running my Aoostar R1 for over a year now, no issue at all. ~14W at idle with the 2HDD in standby. 32G RAM, a low power SK hynix Gold P31 1TB NVME. I've re-used the pair of 14TB HDDs from my WD NAS and recently got a pair of 12TB refurbished HDD for ca 240€ to use the old WD NAS as a backup. I run Proxmox with a bunch of LXC containers (12 mostly) of which a pair of pi-hole, pair of VPN/hardened SSH, fileserver, home automation, Logitech media server, Jellyfin etc etc etc The R1 is not that noisy, never crashed once, does not heat up and is powered through a 88.8Wh mini UPS.

Yup, in my case I know the 3D priter is the hobby. Like were the telescopes rather than the astronomy, or my Hi-Fi rather than the music. Nerds gotta nerd.

People older than 35: do you remember the first time you used a GPS device to get somewhere? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yes, in 2003 on a cheap-ish pocket PC running a version of windows that felt like a mix of 95 and 3.11. Think smartphone without the phone feature

I was gifted an unopened pack of 3.5" floppy disks. What should I do with them? (wrong answers only) in c/[email protected]
