Synology?

Custom build + truenas

I mainly use iSCSI over 10gbps VLAN with priority QoS between VMs, Linux LVMs, and RAID5 storage

System OS volumes are RAID1

Every device I own basically has a 66TB hard drive attached to it at all times

😳

For me it was switching from windows to Mac and getting the Mac Studio

Interesting. Tempted by this; can it run the LLAMA models locally for example? What is it delivering for you that a standard machine doesn't?

Ya you can. I run the 70B ones fine.

Id say my overall productivity is higher one a Mac

Agreed here also. Especially Pages, nothing comes close on Linux.

Pages? Isn't that the word processing thing?

Yes

Not sure I can spend $7k on a new machine just to use the word processor :)

Like buying an aircraft carrier to go fishing.

Of course not the only reason I got it but it’s nice to have

For me it's a toss-up between my X230's and my Protectli vault.
