floridagram-bot1<govatent> So I have about 500 bucks I've been saving up with credit card rewards. I was gonna buy a qnap or synology. But I decided instead of spending half of that on just an under powered nas, I have a spare hp business machine I can turn into a freenas. My question, freenas or Ubuntu with one cloud? Or some other solution. If I go free nas I'll get a nice 8 port sata card and will start with 3 4tb drives with zfs02:06
floridagram-bot1<KMyers> I am currently running Debian on a home NAS. I sync it with my Next cloud server02:38
floridagram-bot1<AdamOutler> You could do a 4TB RAID1+0 with a nice machine for that price.03:16
floridagram-bot1<RazPi> I'm having the worst time deciding on a laptop. I'm still down to Zephyrus and Razer Blade 14 (2017). Zephyrus has 1070 nvidia and quiet.. Razer is actually pretty linux compatible, great build quality, but sounds like a jet engine03:17
floridagram-bot1<RazPi> Noise is big for me, and I'd like to replace my desktop with a laptop and play some games03:18
floridagram-bot1<KMyers> It is funny as Hector is in the same boat03:18
floridagram-bot1<RazPi> but if I were to travel, I need battery03:18
floridagram-bot1<RazPi> What laptops is he looking at?03:18
floridagram-bot1<govatent> I think system 76 has a gaming laptop too. Kind of12:10
floridagram-bot1<ahoneybun> We have laptops with Nvidia12:44
floridagram-bot1<ahoneybun> Like the Oryx Pro12:44
floridagram-bot1<RazPi> Razer has reached out to the community to make their laptops work well with Linux13:39

floridagram-bot1<KMyers> @RazPi, I like when companies do this13:41
floridagram-bot1<RazPi> I like the build style of the Razer, I'd be lying if I said that it didn't appeal to me as a Mac alternative with the machined aluminum envy13:42
floridagram-bot1<RazPi> The fan noise is the only reason I haven't been won totally over but I'm wondering if it's not do big an issue in the 2017 model13:43
floridagram-bot1<RazPi> The only thing my think pad is missing is a gpu13:43
floridagram-bot1<govatent> @KMyers how do you have the home nas setup? Any neat software configuration?14:41
floridagram-bot1<KMyers> @govatent, Honestly it is just a Debian box, nothing special aside from 8 TB of hotswap disk space. It was a machine I bought off of @RazPi . It has 4 bays. I just mount my home directory on other machines. The home directory is synced with my next cloud which is in a colo in Lenior, North Carolina14:45
floridagram-bot1<govatent> Coolio. That's likely the route I'm gonna go for local storage. What type of storage controller are you using? On board?14:46
floridagram-bot1<KMyers> The only special thing I have setup there is that I have a persistent VPN tunnel between the NAS and my private VPN to allow me to access everything remotely if needed14:46
floridagram-bot1<AdamOutler> How does your own cloud deal with 0-length files?14:46
floridagram-bot1<AdamOutler> Mine is in my documents folder.  Whenever a lock file is created, it continuously syncs the file and fails.14:47
floridagram-bot1<KMyers> @govatent, Yes, I am not a huge fan of hardware raid cards. They are a bit of a mess14:47
floridagram-bot1<KMyers> @AdamOutler, It does not, those files fail. In their defense, the same thing happens with OneDrive and a few other cloud storage solutions14:48
floridagram-bot1<AdamOutler> My own cloud client freaks out and repeatedly tries to sync14:48
floridagram-bot1<ahoneybun> damnnnn18:12
floridagram-bot1<AdamOutler> This is going to be a good month!18:46
floridagram-bot1<AdamOutler> Stop using all of Miami's internets, @KMyers !18:47
floridagram-bot1<Ivoriesablaze> i'm starting to feel a bit like a stranger here20:24

floridagram-bot1<SivaMachina> @Ivoriesablaze, How do you think I feel. Kinda feel like a stranger a lot of the time.21:26
