    What kind of juice are you talking? Not that long past, I retired an ASUS Sabretooth not because of any failing, but it was sucking some 240W
    doing pretty much nothing at idle. Let alone what it might manage under load.

    it jumped from about $78 to about $140 or more. i also had all 6 spinning
    disks running in a raid 5 config too. after i found out that the servers
    would not take the 8tb drives i got, i decided to move the servers back to my 2009 mac pro. i slapted proxmox on it, and basicly host both the home NAS / Plex server, and my BBS. i am eventually wanting to build a RPi4 BBS box. however i want to test Slackware 15 first with mystic as i have been finding Ubuntu 20.04 LTS having some bug issues with the tmpfs not releaseing space
    for the OS / user (Mystic). i am not sure if it is an issue specific to
    ubuntu, and there doesnt seem to be very much written on the issue on the web. right now i am testing Slackware15 beta on my laptop right now. so far i have not been able to get the slackbuild to build Virtualbox. once 15 comes out i think i am going to use it as my primary OS.

    Thanks

    In the meantime, was watching NetworkChuck on Youtube and am inspired
    He's good. I enjoy his videos too but man he drinks a lot of coffee.

    I had to buy a pound of decaf coffee just to keep up!

    Yes :)

    I've found his videos interesting to watch. He's certainly passionate about
    the subjects he chats about. I enjoyed a behind the scenes one he did of his studio and set up too. It made me realise the time and expense some of the folks creating videos for YouTube go to in order to put their best foot forward.

    I've never put my face up on YouTube and am honestly not certain if I ever will. Still, given that my last video is years old I think I have other
    things to worry about first :)
