My PC upgrade is becoming a fact! The parts are already ordered.
I am currently installing games that I played in the past but they underperformed so I can test them on the new configuration over the weekend.
Leaving team blue (Intel) for AMD Ryzen 7 9700X on a brand new motherboard and 64 GB of RAM.
And when the time comes to leave behind my team green GeForce RTX 3060 Ti I will be joining team red for good with a Radeon purchase!
Almost forgot to add this performance boost to my #Jonsbo N1 DIY NAS.
I think I can conclude that #TheGRATEmigration11 was successful. #TrueNAS with *arr stack is up and running. My iso images are re-downloading, #Plex transcoding performance is amazing.
I need to migrate some services from a mini PC to TrueNAS. I also need a reverse proxy for them. I also meed to set up a backup solution for TrueNAS… There is still a lot to do. As usual in the #homelab
But now I rest. I #vacation and #Diablo IV. I also #beer and #snacks. Stay tuned.

Today, I re-installed Windows 11 onto one of my laptops and, as expected, everything went smoothly and without issue. At this point, it is just a very basic setup without any apps, games or data. Still, this freshly installed system already consumes over 50GB of precious disk space! Seriously! It already uses 59.078.078.464 Bytes!
I know. It's 2025 and this isn't Windows 3.1 or 98SE anymore. It's Windows 11. I know. But... this is still... so... f'ing... crazy!!!
And all drives are detected! That's a win!

We have green light! It’s alive! Alive!!!

The PSU for my #DIYNAS finally arrived and I’ve put everything together. Ready for the first launch. My biggest concern is HBA SAS controller. Will it work? I have total of seven storage drives connected. Hope to see them all in BIOS setup.
Hope I’ll be able to get to the BIOS setup ))

Wrote down a migration plan for my #DIYNAS. It will be a GREAT migration, because:
1. I need to move 10 TB of Linux iso images to the new NAS from #SynologyNAS. Currently I’m uploading all my Linux iso images collection to #Hetzner object storage, but looks like this will take something around 15 days. Too sad my external HDD is only 4 TB.
2. Then I’ll need to do a full #Synology NAS backup to C2 storage to replace its hard drives with SSD drives and remove NVMe drives from it. This NAS will become a small and fast family cloud with just photos and documents. Plus a storage for various backups on a separate volume with two 6 TB HDDs.
One of the Synology NVMe drives will become a boot drive for #TrueNAS
3. I need to put my 12 TB HDDs into the DIY NAS, add a couple of SSDs for applications and download my Linux iso collection back from Hetzner.
That would be fun)

So I'm building myself a #DIY #NAS in a #Jonsbo N1. I'm planning to try #TrueNAS on it. I want to move #Plex there and all my #selfhosted services, I currently host for myself and my family. For now, public services will remain under #Proxmox on a mini PC.
Here is a build: https://pangoly.com/en/build/share/vQepTAdmsjENI9azT5QAsJYy?r=DE
Hardware ordered. No drives included, because I'm planning to rob my #SynologyNAS for two drives.

Let's finish upgrading my laptop!

So what parts do people suggest for an all AMD build for 1080p 120fps gaming?
I currently have a Ryzen 9 5900X and an RX 7700XT but I still get drops below 60fps in some games and I'm getting sick of it.
I think I'll cry and go with
* ASUS TUF Gaming B650-Plus (150€)
* AMD Ryzen 7 8700F [Tray] (190€)
* Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 (50€)
* Corsair Vengeance DIMM Kit 32GB, DDR5-7000, CL34-42-42-96 (150€)
Everything else will be taken from the old PC. Is there anything wrong?
This was probably long overdue..

TL;DR I love having a cup of joe while mining asteroids and coding.
#electrics and #pcbuilding nerds!
We've got a window sill with slits over a radiator. I'd like to convert 4 cheap arse pc fans to go under and increase the air output. See images.
Which parts do I need to be able to connect 4 serially and power them with 230v via a wall socket?
Please treat me like a beginner in this kind of thing

Considering the situation unfolding next year, does anyone have recommendations for a PC that can game a bit for a few years under $700? Bonus for NAS enclosure recs so I can shove my old computer inside it
So I'm on #pixelfed now!

At this point I'll use when I have a #Desktop #PC that I have planned/built/sold, art I've commissioned, or some fashion I'm particularly proud of. Trying it out as an IG replacement
Sometimes the art just hits right, or the drip is so ferocious you gotta let folks know
budget #PC Building is fucked cause millions of average Joes saw that their crap ass #GPU were selling for wild prices during the pandemic and thought they were sitting on a gold mine. Each of these jokers got on their paddleboard and tried to ride the wave.
But that was due to a manufacturing shortage AND a crypto boom
Now, 3 years later, manufacturing has resumed and ethereum is deader than disco. The wave is over. Clear oceans. No storms
Your lil shit ass 1060 is not worth $150. Your rat ass 2070 is not worth $300 fucking dollars.
Stop smoking dick. Get real.
