If you are running out of space on your home computer, or you want to easily store files on a networked device that makes sharing them easy, a NAS may be the right option for you. The thing about NAS though is that they are not as simple as they once were. The choices are many and configuring some of these can make it somewhat of a daunting idea. This is where the line needs to be drawn between simple network attached storage and a feature rich solution that offers probably more than most people need.

Rosewill RSV-L4000C 4U Mining Case
rying to figure out how you want to build a mining machine, there aren't many options to choose from concerning its skeleton.

While Rosewill may not be that well known in the cryptocurrency space, they have made a name for themselves in the server market by manufacturing and designing quality components at a price point that most people can afford.

How to: Upgrade Your Proxmox Boot Disk
First off, let me get this out there right off the bat; I am a homelabber that leverages Proxmox for some LXCs and some VMs. This is all fun and games for me, so there is nothing mission-critical here… other than the inability for my children to watch Grizzy & the Lemmings. I have a few small form factor devices that I have set up to run Proxmox in a 3-node cluster: I have one Beelink Mini S12 Pro and 2 Lenovo M920Qs, all running what they came out of the box with. While rummaging through the endless drawers of random technology, I found a few larger consumer-grade M.2 NVMe (1TB and 2TB) drives lying around collecting dust, so I figured I would put them to good use and replace the small 250GB NVMe drives these systems are currently running.

I have been running a lot lately, training, competing, etc. While running with my phone is an option for training; running long distances with my phone isn't. Additionally, running through the muck and mud with a phone strapped to you is just asking for trouble. I set out on a path to find the OCRADDICT's dream companion, a GPS training watch that can handle all the things we throw at it... and more. That means it needs to be durable, waterproof, include GPS (duh), and provide the functionality to track and improve my training.
