More likely it was me finding something to do other than pay attention to said elections.

Wires! So… many… WIRES
Looks really professional! This is my setup 100mbit up/down

On top of things:
16GBx2, 8GBx1
And raid1 3TB and 250GB SSD
It currently hosts 3 nodes on the biggest disks.
That shelf looks a bit small holding that case lol
My mom worries about this too.
What magic makes this computer stay on the shelf?!
First version of a levitating node, congrats!!
Sometimes moms are right.
Also, please remove all the paper stuff in there, no need to risk fires…
That… Was… Super Mad Max! Congratulations!!!
Im going to have my first node in DC in few months
Great
What do you mean?
How did you do to hos this in a datacenter? I thought hosting in a datacenter would cost you more than you earn.
What is the fill percentage of that? Cool rig.
It currently stores 17 TB of storj on 7 disks.
So, finally i was able to move all my Nodes to the Helios64 NAS. Based on Armbian.
Disks
Currently i have also running Nextcloud and other Stuff stored on Bay1 beside the StorJ Node (14TB). Bay2 is fully dedicated to StorJ (16TB). Bay3 will get a Node which is running on a Root Server (ESX) which i am retiring as i do not use it anymore. And on Bay 4 i will put an Internxt Node (Im not so happy with that project, but lets see where it goes). Depending what the Future brings, there is still space for an 4th Node in the empty Bay5.
As soon as Duplicati is able to run on ARM with the Tardigrade Libraries i will (of course) use Tardigrade for my Nextcloud Backups (Backblaze it is for now).
I have to say that is the cutest nas I have ever seen.
The only 1 that can be operated using a controller
I really love that device. Unfortunately it’s just a little too expensive to buy just to play around with. What is the performance like on this thing?
Yeah its not that cheap as an RaspberryPI
I replaced my HP Gen8 Server with it (because of powercosts) and moved my whole Stuff there. Not that much Memory 4GB, but for now it works very well. I have dockerized everything (Nextcloud, PiHole, Duplicati, some WebProxy, and the StorJ Exporters and Dashboard itself).

Im quite surprised that everything is running so smooth, so i am very happy about the Performance. I only have limited the Cores for Duplicati to 2 as i do not want to risk any instability which it can cause when it uses the all cores (just for Backup). I do not know how it would performe for Rendering Videos (like for Plesk), but thats not an use case for me anyway.
Here some usage graph (Peaks are running Backups) over the last days:
To mention, i have no RAID Setup (or similar like ZFS and so on) in Place, which would generate additional CPU Load, but i know there are some Guys doing that.
