Old POS computer I had in the shop shit the bed.
I wanted something compact so I picked up a 2014 Mac mini and swapped in a spare SSD.
Hooked it up to my ancient. It perfectly working Apple Cinema Display.
Runs Mac OS 11 perfectly.

So I'm going through the migration from Windows to Unraid. In the array, drives can be formatted XFS or BTFS. Apparently BTFS is newer (and better?), but I've seem some threads suggesting people have lost data with BTFS drives. Most of those threads seem older though.
Can you guys that know shit tell me more about this?

Go with xfs for tried and true performance, especially on large files, and better portability. But be aware unraid formats xfs a little weird and while an xfs partition formatted by unraid will be usable anywhere, you cannot format a disk to xfs and cleanly import it to unraid.
Started running out of disk space, pulled the 128gb Crucial M4 out of my desktop and threw in a 500gb "WD Black" SN750 NVMe drive I snagged from newegg on black friday.
Holy frig what a difference.

3060 TI's and Zen 3 chips sold out everywhere.
It's like these companies don't really want to move product to enthusiasts anymore.

So I was under the assumption that I had a bunch of 8TB SMR drives. Turns out I only have one. To add it to my Unraid array, it has to zero out the drive first. With all my other drives, that took about 12 hours. This drive is going to take 8 days.

And you know nvidia is subtly encouraging this shit cause they sell out of stock as fast as they can make them. They dont care who buys em as long as they get cash in pocket
yeah, i finally did.
IP65 WS2812Bs seem the best bet. I would like the 60LED per meter ones... but the amp draw is ridiculous. For 50M total id be maxing out a 20A 120v circuit. So will probably go 30LED/m
