    I have something to read for you :

    My Request

    It is a request of me from earlier this year. The boards I mention in the opening post are no good choice. But the Asrock J500x or J5040 (the one I picked in the end) are. For my needs it is enough of everything. Even if some users here think the celerons are “heaters that can do math” ^^

    On the other hand, the cpu is soldered to the board. No upgrade without switching the board either… Even the SODIMM ram needs to be replaced when switching away from an itx-board…

    On the other hand, it is less energy consuming than using an old desktop cpu etc.

    The pico-psu is just sweet 😊

    Edit: fixed link





  • I am not from america but our youth imported your moral/ethical/politics discussion shit on games. And it is so anoying. As if any company would care about moral integrity. Have you noticed that most companies which supported pride month with a little rainbow icon did not in all the countries where this is suppressed and forbidden?

    The whole purpose of most companies is to gain money. And they will do whatever is necessary and legal in countries they operate in. And it is a own “discipline” called localization to exactly knowing about their possiblities 🤷🏻‍♂️ And like others said: most companies are up to no good. Energy, gas, food, clothes, cars… Pharma…

    My advice #1: play the games, pay as less as possible. My advice #2: The field of indie games is great. I rarely play AAA. But I also just care about gameplay and don’t like stories in games anymore.

    Some cool games: dead cells, children of mortar, ember knights, mario kaizo hacks, path of exile (is not indie anymore but great anyways), brotato, cassette beasts, cosmoteer, rimworld, elite dangerous, hades, rogue legacy 2, noita, stardew valley, subnautica, super meat boy and so far and so on 😉


  • At the moment I do exactly that. Learn proxmox, omv, influxDB and tomorrow grafana comes around to play 😉

    Nevertheless proxmox and omv are the difficult ones if you never used a hypervisor before. And my toughest lesson was: software raid is pretty slow. This took quiet some time to realise that this was the problem.

    But it is great to have a hypervisor to play around with, test different things in containers or vms and if you mess things up, just spin up another in a few seconds and try it again. It just feels less impactfull than reinstalling all stuff on one machine.

    And you learn a lot about networks along the way if you aren’t already familliar with it.



  • Thank you for your answer. the picoPSU is the next point that causes headaches. I have two questions about the pico.

    How to calculate how much energy is needed without knowing how much the board needs? My actual HDDs and planed parts are:

    • 2x 6TB WD Red WD60EFAX -> and I found the use 5.3W under load what means even with four of them they only need 21,2W
    • a NVME like the WD Blue SN570 with max consumption of 3,75W
    • a fan (maybe an be quiet! Silent Wings 4 PWM 120mm) for the case with round about 4W by max Speed sums up to 27,95W But the information about the power consumption for the board is missing.

    It seems like a 80 watts picoPSU should be sufficent. What I don’t understand is, how can I supply the power with this psu when it is a 24-pin ATX but the board needs only 4-Pin-ATX?
