I'm willing to spend about as much time as building a normal PC, and I'm expecting to pay somewhere in the $400-800 range. Main reason I'm considering prebuilt is size - I am really running low on room under my desk, and there's nowhere else good to put it.
Seems about right, bit on the larger side but I'm seeing tons of them cheap on ebay. Is there a good NAS OS to install, or am I better off just slapping my Linux distro of choice on it and setting up Samba by hand?
FreeNAS is pretty common.
My last NAS was OpenBSD. I'll be fine.
Better man than me.
I use openmediavault in my N54L. It runs great, I also have Zoneminder in a Docker instance, as well as Unifi controller in another Docker, and Plex in a third instance, though I cannot comment to the plex performance as I’ve never used it.
I'm currently frustrated with our own process to get an off site backup.
We have a partner willing to host it for free, we have a spare NAS with 58tb of storage and the fiber was run for it ages ago.
I just can't convince our director that splurging on a switch and some SFP+ modules is worth continuity of business.
New desktop background.
I setup my previous job with a Synology 6 Bay. It's been going well. Now has 6x 4TB NAS drives in there. Went with that since we had four available from some other desktops.
Really powerful dashboard which I like. And I can maintain it from home.
I bought a ipod mini and I've been excited about it for the past few days.

Finally got it and opened it up just to find this, who in the fuck thought this would be cool???
Did you buy it from a recycler? From experience, the people that work there don't give a shit
shopgoodwill.com, I'm assuming they don't give a fuck but I sent them a message asking them to avoid it in the future.
Is it a sticker that rips or what is the issue?
I worked at Goodwill as a teen (retail, not online). I can assure you they don't give a fuck. They are incapable of giving a fuck.
Its hard using FreeNas after using Synology, FreeNAS UI is just ass in comparison
Plus its also Linux based, so you get some of the perks of security updates
it doesn't come off cleanly and left gunk in the crevices, not too big of a deal but there was a lot of real estate in the back they could have used.
i don't speak a whole lot of active directory but from a plain Kerberos standpoint, everything mostly checks out, except for this bit:
COMPANY.LOCAL = {
kdc = company.local
admin.server = company.local
}
admin.server should be admin_server (underscore instead of a period)
Those addresses should point to actual server addresses (like "directory-host.company.local"). I'm honestly kind of figuring you're doing this in the real config and "company.local" is just anonymized, but while I'm here nitpicking I figure I should nitpick everything.
I do have questions about Windows trying to use NTLM, does Apache have support for that server side? Can you configure the client to try to use MIT Kerberos auth instead, somehow, and see if that works? I'm just using MIT's Kerberos binaries because I'm a hobby-server pleb, but that's probably harder to switch to in a company environment like this one.
Yeah, I noticed that error in the realms section the next day. No change after fixing it. The server addresses do indeed point to the real thing, If I didn't anonymize it, someone would surely break my kneecaps sooner or later.
Apache has a module for NTLM but it's not installed nor enabled. The way how you should enable Kerberos in Windows for both IE and Chrome is by setting the server domain into the trusted intranet zone, and I did that without any change. It still tries to NTLM auth first with the apache server.
Also, here's the kerberos related stuff from apache:
AuthType Kerberos
AuthName "Kerberos Auth"
KrbAuthRealms COMPANY.LOCAL dc1.company.local
KrbServiceName HTTP
Krb5Keytab /etc/kerberos.keytab
KrbMethodNegotiate On
KrbMethodK5Passwd On
require valid-user
Maybe I should shelve the whole thing. My expertise is Linux and that side looks good, while I rarely managed WinServer or AD crap and won't even know for what part of a problem I'm looking for.
Grandparents still use an old HP CQ60. The HDD SMART is on Caution (Bad sectors) and it keeps turning itself off from thermal safeties. If you turn it on, it gets to ~100c, then thermal throttles to whatever to shut it down. Might be time to finally crack it open, clean it and reapply thermal paste, because it still works fine. Might throw an SSD into it also.
Something I've noticed since I got my fancy new Smartphone Device™

Is this the price of convenience?
It should be part of your DR plan. Does your company even have a DR plan? Because it really should.
Business people tend to understand things with numbers. If you can give them a cost benefit analysis, then maybe that might change their mind if they realize that a tornado or fire may cause them to lose their business. Doesn't matter how much insurance you have if your customer records are scattered across the county.
That said, some people are legendarily bad at processing worst case scenarios, and bank on the fact that they are essentially like winning the lottery. In that case, make sure you CYA in writing so you can literally be like "told you so" and you are absolved of fault. Of course, make sure you store that off site.
I have REALLY shitty luck.
Bought a soldering station on sale and when I got home, I found out that someone opened the box, stole ALL of the tips, solder and accessories in the box and resealed it with a new tape. It just has the soldering station with a goddamn sponge in the box.
It was 25 eur, so I'm not even gonna bother getting a replacement or something, but it's just shitty.
People a cheap assholes. Not the first time I've seen it, fortunately I'm lucky enough to notice before I buy it, but the tape is just a dick move.
Well my RX 580 4GB card started shitting out on me. Ordered a 1660Ti... Lets see how it is for the price point!

0.15$/gibibyte is a little steep, it's a 50% increase in my hourly estimate. Also fuck you EAC for kicking Wine players. All in all it's a 6R$/h (1,5$/h) price. It's steep, but it's still payable for a few days of gaming when you're on the road.
And this is one of the many reason for why I moved to colocating my own hardware.
The only thing I keep cloud hosted is DNS and static files on a CDN.
I understand the benefit of a cloud hosted CDN, what's the benefit of a DNS?
Pretty much 3 things:
Uptime
Latency
API
Usually people have their DNS hosted at their domain provider, this is fine, but I prefer the options that cloud DNS providers give, such as editing the SOA and other in-depth DNS fine-tuning.
I also would like good uptime on my DNS, and R53 and GDNS both offer practically 100% uptime, so that's nice.
Another big point is latency, that's the time from DNS resolvers (like your ISP DNS, to 8.8.8.8, and 1.1.1.1) to the actual Authoritive DNS servers, using a cloud DNS service (for your Authoritive DNS) gives you much closer to "edge" and faster lookup times, the same way a CDN does.
In the real world, I think CloudFlare has the fastest DNS servers last time I looked at the charts. Which shouldn't surprise anybody, they're the only "cloud" provider that actively improves their edge coverage and routes.
My magicforce qisan just landed, really happy with it, even if the keys are a little scratchier than the cherry counterparts I got over that nearly instantly. Very solid build in a very beautiful form factor. Really happy with this board.
So my friend's been working on a short film the last year or so, and long story short, we need to export it for editing on my computer (we need to use Neat Video on some scenes, which I have on my PC, but the external HDD it's being kept on is formatted in HSF+ iirc - formatting one of the external drives and moving the whole project over isn't really a practical option) - anyone got any idea what export settings would be good? Obviously we need to keep as much detail as possible, and I'm not sure that just using a high bitrate is really all it takes. If it helps, the original files are shot on a BMCC (the original) in 2.5K raw. We're using Premiere.
