46 watts.. but, yea, I expected lower.
But, suppose when its spinning 4x seagate exos, they like their juice.
It apparently doesn't allow HDD hibernation while containers are running, and doesn't appear to like to use any sleep states.
Key word, is idle.
Synology... and HDD hibernation don't really go together very well. If you have containers running, it won't let the HDDs hibernate at all. And- I have a minio instance running.

Unless you have a wall of old nokia phones..... it should be quite scary.
Eh... Mutually assured destruction.
It's a very scary phrase.
That, is a pretty good deal. Better start picking up some MD1200s!
Nope, not at all.
Behind every successful story, is a lot of failures. (or- really rich parents).
I agree, I'd be picking up a bunch of those, if that were the case.
esp32-c6 (supports zigbee), is pretty cheap.
No.
I wouldn't vote for Hillary period for many reasons. Her sex is not one of them.
A random fact, I actually did vote for a woman to be president. But, it damn sure was not Hillary. There is too much stink associated with her. Too much shit swept under the rug.

I am just a glorified moderator now.
I'd say, you have a small instance.
I used to host lemmyonline.com, which has somewhere around 50-100 users.
It was upwards of 50-80g of disk space, and it used a pretty good chunk of bandwidth. CPU/Memory requirements were not very high though.
I'd gladly donate a few TB, but Not about to fill my entire array for books i'll never read...
Nope.
Still just feel like a kid, with extra responsibilities, while raising my own kids. Guess sometime around 50 or so i'll start feeling like an "adult"
Although, at least I call myself a dumbass, after doing something stupid, or wasting money on crap.
I'm gonna wait a few years, until prices go waaay down.... and I plan on doubling/tripling the PV capacity, which will make everything much more effective, as well.
How did you get that rate? We pay 33 cents, and it was 24 cents just a few months ago… wouldn’t be surprised if it goes up again next year and the year after since even 33 cents is government subsidised (so - there’s no cheaper option available).
All about location. There are supposedly many in my area on a different coop utility, who are only paying 0.03c/kwh.
Ooof. Why’d you do that? We simply put (a bit over) 5kW of panels on the roof, and a good 5kW inverter. One day of sun generates about as much power as we use in a week, and even if it’s overcast we still come out ahead.
I had a few other goals I wanted to accomplish-
-
Reliability. The grid here isn't the most stable, and blinks a few times per week. And, a time or two per year, we have an outage. This solution has handled this fantastically well, so well, that I don't even notice when the grid has dropped unless I specifically go for it.
-
Apart of this, was bringing some of my wiring/electrical up to code. This accounted for 10k of the price-tag... I relocated/replaced the mains panel across the house to a location more suitable then my daughter's closet. Also- the panel itself, was pretty old, and needed to be modernized.
One more issue- my PV is undersized a bit. Adding another 3kw, would yield much better returns for me.
Its undersized, because if I oversized it, and sent more energy than I consumed, my lovely utility slaps on a 42$ fee.... which is no-bueno.
If the ROI => 25 years, then it's not worth it- because the hardware and equipment is considered deprecated at that point.
If it lasts 30 years, sure, its making good use of itself. But- everything is rated between 15-25 years. As such, after that period, it's considered end of life, and no longer supported.
Now- I will note, it is not worth it for the "Rate I currently pay", which is 0.08c/kwh. If next year, my electricity rates tripled, it would vastly reduce the amount of time until this solution reached ROI. And- I am betting that electricity does not get cheaper in the future, otherwise I would have not have pulled the trigger on a 50,000$ project, where the math told me it wasn't the best idea.
Also, if you really want to see everything quantified- I plan on publishing all of the math, and numbers at the one year mark... which will be around march. -> https://static.xtremeownage.com/pages/Projects/Solar-Project/
This platform* is getting overrun by trolls and tankies. I’m going back to Reddit
Coming from someone who owns them-
Nah, it's not worth it.... at least, if you strictly look at "saving money" overall.
ROI is on average 10-25 years, depending on your current cost of energy. The components/inverters/etc, are usually rated for 20-25 years.
At least- this applies if you have a properly licensed contractor install everything. If you do everything yourself, its extremely worth it, and would achieve ROI in a decade or less.

My adventures in building out a ceph cluster for proxmox storage.
As a random note, my particular instance (lemmyonline.com) is hosted on that particular ceph cluster.
I can't say for sure- but, there is a good chance I might have a problem.
The main picture attached to this post, is a pair of dual bifurcation cards, each with a pair of Samsung PM963 1T enterprise NVMes.
It is going into my r730XD. Which... is getting pretty full. This will fill up the last empty PCIe slots.
But, knock on wood, My r730XD supports bifurcation! LOTS of Bifurcation.
As a result, it now has more HDDs, and NVMes then I can count.
What's the problem you ask? Well. That is just one of the many servers I have laying around here, all completely filled with NVMe and SATA SSDs....
Figured I would share. Seeing a bunch of SSDs is always a pretty sight.
And- as of two hours ago, my particular lemmy instance was migrated to these new NVMes completely transparently too.
So, last month, my kubernetes cluster decided to literally eat shit while I was out on a work conference.
When I returned, I decided to try something a tad different, by rolling out proxmox to all of my servers.
Well, I am a huge fan of hyper-converged, and clustered architectures for my home network / lab, so, I decided to give ceph another try.
I have previously used it in the past with relative success with Kubernetes (via rook/ceph), and currently leverage longhorn.
Cluster Details
- Kube01 - Optiplex SFF
- i7-8700 / 32G DDR4
- 1T Samsung 980 NVMe
- 128G KIOXIA NVMe (Boot disk)
- 512G Sata SSD
- 10G via ConnectX-3
- Kube02 - R730XD
- 2x E5-2697a v4 (32c / 64t)
- 256G DDR4
- 128T of spinning disk.
- 2x 1T 970 evo
- 2x 1T 970 evo plus
- A few more NVMes, and Sata
- Nvidia Tesla P4 GPU.
- 2x Google Coral TPU
- 10G intel networking
- Kube05 - HP z240
- i5-6500 / 28G ram
- 2T Samsung 970 Evo plus NVMe
- 512G Samsung boot NVMe
- 10G via ConnectX-3
- Kube06 - Optiplex Micro
- i7-6700 / 16G DDR4
- Liteon 256G Sata SSD (boot)
- 1T Samsung 980
Attempt number one.
I installed and configured ceph, using Kube01, and Kube05.
I used a mixture of 5x 970 evo / 970 evo plus / 980 NVMe drives, and expected it to work pretty decently.
It didn't. The IO was so bad, it was causing my servers to crash.
I ended up removing ceph, and using LVM / ZFS for the time being.
Here are some benchmarks I found online:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E9-eXjzsKboiCCX-0u0r5fAjjufLKayaut_FOPxYZjc/edit#gid=0
https://www.proxmox.com/images/download/pve/docs/Proxmox-VE_Ceph-Benchmark-202009-rev2.pdf
The TLDR; after lots of research- Don't use consumer SSDs. Only use enterprise SSDs.
Attempt / Experiment Number 2.
I ended up ordering 5x 1T Samsung PM863a enterprise sata drives.
After, reinstalling ceph, I put three of the drives into kube05, and one more into kube01 (no ports / power for adding more then a single sata disk...).
And- put the cluster together. At first, performance wasn't great.... (but, was still 10x the performance of the first attempt!). But, after updating the crush map to set the failure domain to OSD rather then host, performance picked up quite dramatically.
This- is due to the current imbalance of storage/host. Kube05 has 3T of drives, Kube01 has 1T. No storage elsewhere.
BUT.... since this was a very successful test, and it was able to deliver enough IOPs to run my I/O heavy kubernetes workloads.... I decided to take it up another step.
A few notes-
Can you guess which drive is the samsung 980 EVO, and which drives are enterprise SATA SSDs? (look at the latency column)
Future - Attempt #3
The next goal, is to properly distribute OSDs.
Since, I am maxed out on the number of 2.5" SATA drives I can deploy... I picked up some NVMe.
5x 1T Samsung PM963 M.2 NVMe.
I picked up a pair of dual-spot half-height bifurcation cards for Kube02. This will allow me to place 4 of these into it, with dedicated bandwidth to the CPU.
The remaining one, will be placed inside of Kube01, to replace the 1T samsung 980 NVMe.
This should give me a pretty decent distribution of data, and with all enterprise drives, it should deliver pretty acceptable performance.
More to come....

Since, my doctor recommend that I put more fiber in my diet- I decided to comply.
So.... in a few hours, I will be running a few OS2 runs across my house, with 10G LR SFP+ modules.
Both runs will be from my rack to the office. One run will be dedicated for the incoming WAN connection (Coupled with the existing fiber that.... I don't want to re terminate). The other, will be replacing the 10G copper run already in place, to save 10 or 20w of energy.
This, was sparked due to a 10GBase-T module overheating, and becoming very intermittent earlier this week causing a bunch of issues. After replacing the module, links came back up and started working normally.... but... yea, I need to replace the 10G copper links.
With only twinax and fiber 10G links plugged into my 8-port aggregation switch, it is only pulling around 5 watts, which is outstanding, given a single 10GBase-T module uses more then that.
Edit,
Also, I ordered the wrong modules. BUT... the hard part of running the fiber is done!
