In the states, that’d be a Big Fucking HIPAA Violation

Is it though? If memory serves, users willfully providing medical info isn't a breach, unlike if they accessed that info directly from the doctor.

That's my setup. I like selfhosting, but leave email to other services. I got tired of being on blacklists.

That said, namecheap email servers are still on blacklists. I've locked horns with tech support a couple times because legit email gets dropped. Unless you pay for a vps or something more expensive, you're thrown in with the spam and scum class.

It works for the most part for my needs.

Of course the big question is "what will you use it for" because some uses will run just fine.

I would max that out so fast though.

4 out of 5 stars. I found this house on Airbnb. Beautiful quaint hilltop home with magnificent views! Perfect for a getaway. Had to remove one star for the sui-sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide..........

Can't wait to see these!

Ahh good point.

Heat may be an issue if it is very cramped, but could work. Letting the motherboard handle raid would be better, but add one heck of a bottleneck. I'm still leaning towards one large SSD or perhaps external storage.

A video archive on external would work fine for a couple users, but sharing disk bandwidth with the system would suck pretty fast.

IIR there are 2 versions, one using SATA protocol and the other using PCIe. The difference is keyed into cutouts between pins.

I'm not entirely sure what the benefit of this setup would be over 2 independent SSD's since one drive will max out the connection speed and 2 can use 2 ports.

I've had a 2x SATA-based m.2 RAID card that plugged into PCIe for a boost in speed ages ago. It was fun, but I swapped it out for true PCIe based m.2.

I still recommend Brother printers, but some MFC-* models do support/enforce OEM lock-in after firmware updates according to reports. All the info is 2 years old and I so want to be wrong on this. Have they reversed that decision? Firmware update disables 3rd party toner

I just advised a business on a tech proposal, including printers, and the bid quoted one of the lock-in models. Of course it's a company so toner is a business expense and they arn't pinching pennies, but the owner is with the us in not supporting this decision. Props to them.

If Fry and Leela had a kid when "Meanwhile" aired, they'd be 11 now. Checks out.

I highly recommend a fan and heatsink. I've run one without, but it throttles with heat and why stress the little bugger. The fan is tiny, quiet, and easily replaceable.

Some tasks in HA are resource intensive (video, voice recognition, etc) so best to do it now even if you don't plan on using that right away.

I wish to inform you that limerick was painful, like fingernails on a chalkboard, to read by my inner voice. Hats off to you; well schemed.

I quite literally just bought this yesterday! Of course it happens now.
