I am against AI and LLMs but the reason is quite simple, a lot of modern writing is offical bullshit to get stuff approved. Research grants, medical therapy approval, offical work mail that has to sound professional, job applications (insofar that noone cares what you write, they want a standard template and pick a candidate along qualifications anyways.). All these texts cost a lot of time and it makes no difference if a human or some copy machine writes it. And tbh. were it not for all the disadvantages of modern LLMs i would use it for the exact same reason, because sitting at a grant application for two hours while others do it in 5min is fucking useless and exhausting.

BYD is rumouredo introduce them next year. They filed multiple patents this year and the rumours have been ongoing for years that 2027 is the target year.

often may be a slight exaggeration, it mainly happens with teratomas which are kind of rare.

While i agree with the sentiment v-bucks are not 100% profit. People buy v-bucks for skins, these skins have to be produced by people who typically don’t do that for free. And for ongoing sells of v-bucks fortnite has to get regular updates, one of the selling points of fortnite are the regular seasons and events, these are not free to produce. Obviously they do all of this to increase profit but 100% profit ratio is a strange take.

Ahh okay, the headline implied that for me but you are both correct that it does not outright say so.

Did we read the same article? The point is that for some people it resulted in no viral load even without drugs over a prolonged time.

In a study published last year, Goulder described how all five remained in remission, despite having not received regular antiretroviral medication for some time, and in one case, up to 17 months. In the decadeslong search for an HIV cure, this offered a tantalizing insight: that the first widespread success in curing HIV might not come in adults, but in children.

Instead, like Goulder, pediatricians have increasingly noticed that after starting antiretroviral treatment early in life, a small subpopulation of children then seem able to suppress HIV for months, years, and perhaps even permanently with their immune system alone.

Yes, all I2P addresses are only available from within the I2P network.

Yeah seems to be that self built is a viable alternative, currently looking with PCpartpicker what i am planning to buy unfortunately the N100 MBs are not on there.

I read some more about it and yeah ZFS seems like a great solution. Do you happen to know how easy it is to upgrade storage with ZFS? E.g. i start with just 2x4TB but later I add another 2x4TB, would that be easy or would this result in a total rebuild?

Is that viable? I read that doing it with proxmox can be problematic because it doesn’t offer such great NAS and Raid options out of the box, making it harder to maintain.

I was also thinking about getting a DAS but found several opinions that recommended against it because the hardware RAID is more expensive and software raid with DAS is supposed to be a PITA.

Ahh okay, nice to hear. I will think about using both.

Did you connect the expansion drive via USB or how are you doing that? AFAIK the G3 only supports 2.5 HDDs which are not available with 10Tb, are they?

I will use the server for photos, videos, backups from my PC via borg and as a media server so i wanted to start with approximately 6TB. Budget without the harddrives is under 500€, currently looking at a refurbished optiplex 3060 with an Intel I3-8100T as a miniPC for server usage and then some used NAS system from Terramaster. Do you mean building a multibay NAS myself? I looked into it and it didn’t seem really cheaper compared to buying used/refurbished.

Ahh i see your point, okay i will probably start with something easy then.

Is it really that much data? I mean I can’t seed faster than my upload speed anyways and that is a lot lower than 1gigabit so i don’t quite see how the network will get saturated.

Yeah I’m still debating over Usenet vs. Torrents, but Torrents seem better for some old stuff. And I am a bit off put by the mention that there are some Usenet groups that are kinda secretive and special and hard to get access to. I mean there is kinda the same with private trackers but at least they seem a bit more transparent about it.

1. Yeah CPU seems to be a “problem” with a lot of NAS devices. Especially for hardware transcoding.
2. My thinking was, that i can just ignore the features that I don’t need but then i won’t have to change it in the future when i need more features.
3. Ahh, thank you.

Thank you very much, that helps a lot.
