that hard drive prices return to normal and think about all the things i can build.

silliness aside, i honestly sit there and plan it out. i wish i pulled the trigger and started earlier. i actually bought two mini pcs before this mess and have one setup running proxmox. o have this beautiful jellyfin -> jellyseer -> radarr/sonarr -> sazbd -> gluetun -> newsreader setup on proxmox and i founf 1 8tb wd red plus on sale that i put in a ugreen nas running truenas and its filling up quickly.

i wont move to nextcloud until i get a second drive for mirroring. i still have to find a place to backup those future files as well.

there is not really a point tp this post except i know people here feel my pain. how i dream of buy a few 12 tb drives.

for now i find stuff and put price alerts on them. o have tried ebay but i dont always get what i pay for. like buying wlanlisting that says wd red plus cmr and getting a wd red (non plus) smr.

i fantasize about the cool rack setup i could build. right now everything, jellyfin stack, home assistant, glance dashboard, pteradactyl, netbird , anf any vm i want to play with all on one proxmox mini pc. next comes books

sorry for the rant but maybe you can relate

I'll try that next time it dies, see if it helps

[-] esperal@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

Actually I am really curious about this !

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 2 points 2 months ago

I'll try to remember to update you in 1-2 months then!

Update, kernel panic happened today, so I updated the BIOS settings:

  • tCL (CAS Latency): Change from 11 to 12
  • tRCD: Change from 11 to 12
  • tRP: Change from 11 to 12
  • tRAS: Change from 28 to 32
  • DRAM voltage changed from 1.488 to 1.530

All the initial values were Auto values. I'll let it sit for at least a month with no reboots before calling it fixed. I'll set a reminder

Vert interesting, thanks again for the update ! I hope these new settings will do the trick

The server has now been running non-stop without an issue for 30 days, so I assume the problem was fixed by the suggestion!

[-] esperal@pawb.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hey, thanks for the update ! The fact that this kind of fine tunning could save a failing setup (especially regarding RAM prices nowadays) is some very valuable knowledge !

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Definitely, I had also done a lot of investigation and assumed that when I isolated the problem to the RAM there was almost nothing more I could do expect cry and wait for the inevitable torturous moment I'd have to open my wallet amid sky high prices.
