I’ve met many neurodivergent trans puppygirls in the FOSS world, but the job history is definitely weird.

Hopefully I can find the molex cables that came with my PSU, I know I have them somewhere.

Thanks for the tip about grounding, was not aware of that. I’ll either be getting a second PSU or upgrading to one of those Super Flower ones, depending on how the costs work out. I just remembered my GPU doesn’t need a power cable, so that should open up even more ports.

Thanks for all the advice!

I was asking just about power, but those bays will come in handy as I haven’t been able to get a new case yet, thanks for sharing!

A second power supply does currently seem like the best option. In my research I found Super Flower’s modular power supplies, which can apparently power a ton of drives

For the molex to SATA splitters, did you need to get one specifically wired for your PSU?

Hey, thanks to your suggestion I got 8 SAS drives and a PCI-e SAS expansion card, but I’ve realized there’s something I didn’t really consider. How are you powering your drives? After my upgrade, my server will contain 12 drives, which my PSU unfortunately does not provide enough ports for. Is simply upgrading it the best option in your opinion?

I assumed it’d be pretty much all of them, but didn’t feel like researching to be sure. It’s really surprising how so many lemmy users, who are generally very much on the side of science and research, will completely ignore the people who are experts in this subject and assume they know better from their own experiences.

I’m always surprised by how divisive of a topic this is.

shitty cat owners downvoting you. most place around me won’t even let you adopt a cat if you don’t say you’ll keep it inside. its bad for your local ecosystem and its bad for the cat. I’ve seen way too many cats die because they were kept outside.

Apps still need mic permissions to do so. Many Android ROMs include notices when the mic is being used, it would be very easy to tell if an app was actually doing this.

I hadn’t really looked into SAS drives, but that sounds like a great option. $5/TB is awesome!

It also now has global hotkeys on Wayland!

That’s true, but you can still learn from a distro that’s easier to use out of the box. Then, if you’d like to learn more, you can switch to a more bare-bones option. OP doesn’t seem to be interested in learning to configure a distro himself.

if you’re unfamiliar with Linux and do not want to deal with a lot of troubleshooting you shouldn’t use arch. You chose a distro that comes with a very minimal configuration, which makes it your job to get a lot of it working. It’s also a rolling release, apps will update more often and with less testing, meaning you’re likely to experience bugs.

Now normal people have a microblogging platform where they aren’t constantly having fascist propaganda shoved down their throats.

A lot of the big accounts I follow have been reporting a huge loss in followers on Twitter and an even larger influx of followers on Bluesky.

I know quite a few people that have quit through vaping, and even if they hadn’t, vapes are definitely better for their health than cigarettes.

They make vape cartridges that are used with a reusable battery. If disposable vapes were banned, they would become the more common option which is definitely better.

This is a weird thread. Lots of complaints about lock in and companies managing your keys, both of which are easily avoidable, the exact same way you’d do so with your passwords.

They were found earlier, I saw this tweet resurface when he was first chosen as Trumps VP. This article is just talking about old news.

You can download the driver directly, GeForce Experience isnt necessary.

Even better, thanks!

Never thought to look for an extension for that. Thanks for mentioning it.
