Looks like a skit from 'that Mitchell and Webb look'

Sure, I'd be more than happy to! It's a home server build that started life as a gaming pc, so it's not a rack setup in any stretch of the imagination. I'm not at home currently so can't give exact specs offhand, but the setup is essentially:

OS: Ubuntu running on 256gb NVMe (not backed up I just replace if/when it fails)

Jellyfin/Navidrome Media: 3 SATA HDDs totalling ~60TB (2 x 15TBs, 1 30TB, no RAID, no backup. I call this my replaceable media, as I can simply redownload if a drive fails)

Config/compose files and 'irreplacable' data stores: 2 x 4TB NVMe (RAID 1, 7 rolling daily backups, 4 rolling weekly to a much more modest machine on the same network. This includes configuration/database etc. for jellyfin)

Entry points are all handled via a single VPS using a wire guard reverse proxy. So I'm using domain based access for all services I'm running. The only one that seems to struggle is Navidrome, which can lose sync. But jellyfin works flawlessly with this setup.

Off the top of my head, I believe the specs are something like:

• 128GB DDR5 RAM (bought pre AI boom thankfully)
• AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d
• Nvidia rtx 4080
• 2 x fanxiang 4TB NVMe
• 1 x Kingston(?) 256GB NVMe
• 2 X Seagate ironwolf pro 15TB
• 1 x Seagate ironwolf pro 30TB

The case itself is a fractal meshify 2 XL. I got it due to the lack of RGB way back when, but it fits everything listed quite comfortably, as well as an AIO cooling system for the CPU.

If you're looking for large storage solutions, NAS servers definitely fit the bill, and make setting up RAID a breeze. But you can quite easily find large scale SATA based drives, which fit into most mid to large cases, commercial or personal. My current build is nearly at its limit now (I think there's a single available sata port left... Maybe another M2, can't recall), so going forward I will likely invest in a decent NAS, but I've never felt the need for a rack solution if I'm honest.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the server is not quiet. The ironwolf drives in particular can drum up a fair bit of noise when busy. I've got the server setup in my home office, so it's no issue personally. But it would definitely cause me sleep issues if it were in my bedroom.

The total space used is somewhere in the region of 20tb. I recently expanded to it by another 30tb by adding a seagate ironwolf pro hard drive to the build.

It's overkill in all honesty, and I don't have a raid setup/backups on any of my jellyfin drives, I figure none of it is irreplacable, and opted for maximum space possible over redundancy. But one day drives will inevitably fail, and a lot of content will be lost. I also have a pretty hands off style with the content added, so there's no doubt plenty of space I could reclaim if I were to more actively manage the content.

My servers configuration files as well as irreplacable content like immich data etc. are all running on much more modestly sized (but just as expensive) 4TB NVMes, which are in a basic RAID 1 setup. The server itself is running on a 256gb NVMe, with no consideration for redundancy. If the OS dies, I'll just reformat, and spin up services using the compose files stored in the RAID setup.

Glad to hear you're starting them on the foss path young 😁 Mac users are a tough nut to crack in my experience! They're usually very invested in the apple ecosystem, and it makes finding an alternative for their everyday usage a busy task to say the least!

You should be able to decrypt the messages if you still have the old device to verify the new connection, or if you saved the encryption key that's setup when you first login to the account.

Appreciate it's not as simple as logging in, because that's the point of separating the encryption key from login creds in the first place. Even if your accounts credentials are compromised, previous messages aren't, and any future messages from the unverified device are flagged as suspicious.

The purple colouring suggests its a proton map to me, but I've not verified that.

It had an unusually long neck and measured up to 20m (66ft) - roughly the length of a cricket pitch.

Seems they're covering metric, imperial and sports field based measurements; The holy trinity of distance measuring.

Goat simulator 3 exists, despite there being no Goat simulator 2.

I particularly appreciate the fact that it's EAs launcher in the meme, undoubtedly one of if not the worst offender for this shit.

Apparently there have been so many changes listed in v1 patch notes, that they reached the announcement limit on Steam.

Sentinel island is only known for small scale murders rather than full on genocide, tbf.

Those are responses to your comment though. Your comment frames the narrative as 'this is about the children', and as such, the resulting discourse is based around that, my responses included, despite my differing interpretation of the original statement.

When I mention the state they represent, I mean it in the same way an athlete represents their nation. I don't believe said athlete is directly responsible for their countries actions, but I also agree with their expulsion from international events when they represent a state that is actively committing atrocities (like Russia with the Olympics for example). The alternative is sane washing the atrocities commited (IE: Israel participating in Eurovision).
