Encryption slows it down a lot. It’s just a Turion II

I’ve got a N40L running TrueNAS. It is slow for mass transfers but at about 40-60mbps transfer speeds it is plenty fast for file usage (jellyfin libraries etc.) Right now it’s just a secondary but it is quiet and uses little power. You can get 3.5 to 2.5 adapters and use ssds for even quieter use.
In other words don’t be afraid to trawl around on eBay and experiment.
Having a separate machine as a NAS is good, running TrueNAS or XigmaNAS. You can segregate your backups from your daily use, you can have automated tasks run, etc.
Machine wise, I’m gonna try out a Beelink with nvme slots. Right now I’m using a Proliant microserver. Don’t get one with a hardware RAID card as you want to be able to use zfs. But otherwise they sell pretty cheap on Ebay.

Well AT&T banned the (better) international models from their network a while back. They work fine. Just banned.
Some old VMs, not one. Had 95,98SE,XP, 7, and 8.1. Also found NT install disks.
Well it was two days ago because I found some old VM backups and booted them for nostalgia. Win 7 really was the best

Is this new? I have some 10 year old ish Asus motherboards that have been really solid
It changed my life. Mainly because of the automatic citation handling and bibliography generation in LyX.
Supreme Commander is good. It is the closest modern-ish game to Total Annihilation that I’ve seen.
Yes, second Talos Principal, it is excellent and the soundtrack too.
Soldered in there :) also max 8 GB memory. I only paid like $30 for this box 6 years ago including the $10 for four used drives, I’m not expecting it to run Crysis.
To be extra clear, it was released in 2010 or something. This thing is 15 years old!
