you knew this shit was gonna happen. so… why the fuck did you vote for him and the rest of the maga assholes?

oh yea… that’s right.

some of “those people” are helped by these programs, and you don’t care who else gets hurt–even yourself or your family, just so long as some of those nasty ‘un-deserving’ blacks or gays or immigrants or poors get “what’s coming to them”.

warframe is made in london.

you already did this before…

office 2010 starter. slightly reduced functionality word and excel, and ‘office to go’ usb creator. had ads. only ever saw/see generic microsoft ones. like they never actually tried selling the space to anyone.

came preinstalled on new systems from major oems during a short window between ms works’ retirement and office 2013’s release.

tanked sales of ‘real’ office enough that it was pulled less than two years later and never tried again.

until now.

windows isn’t the problem. it can and will run all day, every day.

your existing box isn’t a server. it’s a desktop pc that you’re doing ‘server things’ on. you want a server, make it one:

move the retro gaming, the ‘shitposting’, the 3d design work, and the random internet use that goes with those things, off to a different pc. doesn’t even need to be that much of a pc. enough for the 3d work and emulators, and a fast lan port or wifi for accessing your ‘server’.

leave the existing one with the *rrs, the storage, the drivepool and snapraid… get everything else off. disable any oc settings you have enabled. it’s a server. then leave it alone.

the antiunion/buy a console instead poster was delta airlines in 2019.

it all runs on Windows 10 (which is where the issue arises)

what ‘issue’? your hardware should ‘officially’ support win11.

the only 6bay lff cage for it i found online after a quick search was over $400usd.

as others mentioned, msa30 is scsi (yuk). along those lines, you’d want the msa60 which is sas/sata, plus somewhere on the server to connect it to. probably not cheap.

but i really don’t think it’s worth putting a whole lot of time or money into a 15 year box… at least not anything that can’t be used in or with newer stuff later.

i’d probably just grab some 2-5tb 2.5in hdd for media storage and use those before i bought something specific for that old hardware.

dl380-g7 is some really old stuff. 1st gen westmere. not very power efficient for the performance. there’s no hardware encoding (qsv with encoding started with some 2nd gen).

how well it can do software encoding would depend on the cpu. but don’t expect too much, and nothing more demanding than h264 avc at reasonable settings. you’d need a newer video card with hardware encoding for hevc, av1 or anything like that.

iirc there was a 6bay 3.5in option for those, and that cage/backplane might be available somewhere.

i don’t have one. i don’t want one, either.

“his business acumen” is exactly what you’re getting, bub.

if american paper companies kept the standard packaging sizes which were the same for literal decades before greed got the better of 'em (around 1990 or so is when i noticed the first small incremental changes), i think the canadian companies would have kept them too.

the manufacturer still has that all-too-american bullshit sizing though.

‘triple’ rolls!!! only 2 sheets short of what was once (and not that long ago) the ‘normal’ size of 200 sheets. the old ‘double’ rolls did used to be 400 sheets, and ‘triples’, 600–and those were big. not all holders could handle them.

i would be asking them to show where the same or comparable product is available for sale that only has 99 sheets per roll. even the ‘dollar store’ crap has bigger rolls than that.
