First, I would like to thank this community for being an understanding, open-minded and Novice friendly like myself. I have learned a lot in the past few weeks thanks to this community, unlike Reddit’s toxic communities where asking a question is illegal.
I have built most of my NAS; the only missing component (CPU) I will be collecting in the morning. I just wanted to ask general questions or tips. Dos and Donts. I will be using Unraid as OS.
I agree Reddit is toxic. I’d argue reddit actually stopped being Reddit around 2016. But it’s posts like this that clog it all up and are partially why it is the way it is today. You didn’t even ask a question. You just posted a comment and said give me information. You don’t respond to anyone kind enough to ask questions to you,so they can get the slightest insight into what information may be useful to you. I don’t see anything about what you have already looked into. I see nothing about intention or use case. You babbled something about a CPU. I dunno. I’ll take the downvotes but just because you say please and thank you doesn’t make your post any less of a waste of bits.
Maybe provide some info about your setup. Your requirements?
There are a lot of tech people in lemmy who do storage and compute for a living, but they are going to need something from you. Don’t be like Reddit. Meet us half way.
BTW. I’ve worked with a lot of folks in tech over the years. All at different levels of experience. I don’t care what field you are in or what your expertise is…. the most newb move is not knowing how to ask questions. The rest is just work and time. Best of luck friend.
I gotta agree with this. The toxicity in any reddit thread increases dramatically when the poster pre-emptively complains about all the toxicity they expect to receive. Whereas when you just ask straight without going into a whole speech about comment quality, you get much better replies. Particularly because it’s hijacking your own thread; changing it from whatever question you wanted to ask into an analysis of the comments.
To your point, I clicked on this post hoping to see what OP was going to use and why because I would like to build my own NAS some day. But like you said, this post is a waste of everyone’s time.
Well said.
The spirit of Self-Hosting is trying things and then asking specific questions when you get stuck (stuck includes having no luck using a search engine).
