Sometimes, when I am all alone i like to fantasize...

that hard drive prices return to normal and think about all the things i can build.

silliness aside, i honestly sit there and plan it out. i wish i pulled the trigger and started earlier. i actually bought two mini pcs before this mess and have one setup running proxmox. o have this beautiful jellyfin -> jellyseer -> radarr/sonarr -> sazbd -> gluetun -> newsreader setup on proxmox and i founf 1 8tb wd red plus on sale that i put in a ugreen nas running truenas and its filling up quickly.

i wont move to nextcloud until i get a second drive for mirroring. i still have to find a place to backup those future files as well.

there is not really a point tp this post except i know people here feel my pain. how i dream of buy a few 12 tb drives.

for now i find stuff and put price alerts on them. o have tried ebay but i dont always get what i pay for. like buying wlanlisting that says wd red plus cmr and getting a wd red (non plus) smr.

i fantasize about the cool rack setup i could build. right now everything, jellyfin stack, home assistant, glance dashboard, pteradactyl, netbird , anf any vm i want to play with all on one proxmox mini pc. next comes books

sorry for the rant but maybe you can relate
