You can. But with used parts which feels like has always been the case.

Playing with it locally is the best way to do it.

Ollama is great and believe it or not I think Googles Gemma is the best for local stuff right now.

That’s so fucking rough.

KazuK9_ is a brutal twitter handle for our friend Kazuk to deal with.

I didn’t know Pillion meant passanger

The disregard of

“Dress for the slide”

Was enough for me

And if you just want a NAS? It is really hard to go wrong with a 4 bay NAS from one of the reputable vendors (which may just be ugreen at this point?) as those tend to still come out cheaper than building it yourself and 4 disks means you can either play with fire with RAID5 or not be stupid and do RAID1.

Actually ASUS started to sell N100 motherboards with the CPU soldered on for $120

That plus a jonsbo N2 or N3, a few extra pieces, and its a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Ugreen options. Sure it will probably run Truenas instead of Ugreens custom truenas or whatever its built on, but that extra $300 is another 24TB hard drive or a HexOS lifetime subscription.

There’s also always the classic buy an old mid sized tower for $100 and slap two massive hard drives in it

Executive dysfunction hot chicken

Context? I just see a bunch of kids collecting sticks and I’m currently day dreaming about my future hobby farm for when I get out of tech. So this actually males my life feel worse.

Imagine less off a proper BOD and more of a 3D Printable holder for 3.5 inch drives and no actual connections.

I was considering a mini ITX PC with just an external SAS to Sata PCI card. But at the rate of just building that I might end up just building a better tiny nas box with maybe a jonsbo case like the N3

I just steal those.

I feel like I can do some gnarly satanic shit with stolen bibles

That’s basically what I’m going for.

How are you connecting the mini PC via SATA and how are you powering the BOD?

The classic

offers to recycle

actually installs esoteric Linux distros

Classic!

Do you fear technology

Oh yes! Greatly!

Windows

Ah, a different kind of fear was meant…

A 4060ti has been out long enough that you’re fine with basically any main stream distro.

I think even the 50 series is fine now with most mainstream distros as well.

I still prefer arch based distros now for Nvidia cards and honestly, Fedora is great!

Yeah I’ll join the Vin Diesel cult!

The old testament is literally just there for context.

I had to learn that for myself because I wasn’t taught it while a baptist. I learned that as an atheist! Its just Tue new testament that matters.

SMH, one day we will all know the difference between a shitpost and incoherency.

You should a went with something like

“When the wrong set of tits is out”

“I think their costumes got swapped”

Still boomer tier meme, but at least coherent.

“Her tits fell out of his chest”

What does that mean?

I usually follow the craft computing video whenever I have to set it up. He has a document in the description with all the things you might need to passthrough a GPU but only like half are needed to passthrough an HBA

Proxmox wiki has a more concise guide IMO

It was really simple to do in Proxmox.

You will find no name brand HBAs in IT mode on eBay for half the price of Intel, Supermicro, Dell, Etc branded ones. Do not buy the no names. I spent a week flashing and reflashing some cheap one, cycling through cables, etc. Nothing.

My supermicro branded one worked absolutely no issue. And I think it was like $40

It probably took a total of 30 minutes to pass it through and build the VM and everything. It took a couple days to rebuild my data from my previous truenas server but I had 10 TB of data on 4 drives.

The only issues I’ve had have been my own reading comprehension in setting up truenas accounts.
