  • As an example, I used an old PC and purchased a PCI-E card with a bunch of SATA connections. So the cost was about $30 for the SATA card. The biggest cost was the drives, about $90 per 4TB (x5 because I’m using a ZFS raid setup).

    I’m buying 10 more 12TB drives (and 2x 2TB NVME drives) for a future expansion which is when I’ll retire my current gaming PC to be the NAS and donate the current server to whoever needs it. If you buy a dedicated device it’ll be more expensive but you won’t need to install Linux on it or configure it, they’ll usually have easy to use software accessible via a web interface. If you’re comfortable with Linux you can use just about any hardware to get you started.

    Like Xanza said, I don’t consider it part of my media server. It’s generic storage that I use for everything. Security system recordings, backups, AI models, self-hosted cloud services like NextCloud, storage for my various syncthing clients, etc.

    In the Americas, United States, and Canada:

    -Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.


  • Congress passed aid to Ukraine.

    Remember when Trump threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine in order to pressure Zelenskyy into announcing an investigation into Biden during an election?

    He was impeached for that.

    So, this time he put on a little theater skit in the White House’s Oval Office so that he can be immune by claiming that he paused aid as an official act resulting from an official meeting.

    Trump is simply pausing aid by using executive powers in bad faith. Congress already approved the money but Trump can delay it for a long time before courts get involved.


    We’re basically watching the sitting US President openly shaking down a country for protection money (rare earth rights) while it’s in the process of being attacked by Russia.

    Russia already wins this. They’re never going to have to give up the land that they claimed and Trump is going to give Russia a ban on Ukraine joining NATO on top of it.

    As an aside, did you know that around 3 billion USD passed through the TRUMP cryptocurrency before it collapsed. Kinda makes you wonder if the previous owners of that money got what they paid for.
