I got some cheap thing from AleExpress last year for a home NAS, Aoostar wtr pro. 4 HDD bays, 2 SSDs, and an 8C/16T CPU. Cooling is meh, but it runs quite a few jails along with serving and backing up the home net. It's alright..

hmm

for 400 euro i mean

is it worth that?

what was the ram

Been on 24/7 for a year already, and FreeBSD compatibility is good

it came without any, barebones

what was that then?

extra

i bet it has use somewhere

DDR4 and nvme gen4

no ecc sadly

there are smaller ones too

4 bays was the minimum when I was shopping around

you could run it as fancy external mirror drive

i found upright 2 bay one

I mean, I need 4 bays, 2 is too tight for our storage needs

those are cute boxes tho

Its laptop cpus, so not energy hungry..

Still 16 threads is plenty for a NAS

Oh, there's a newer model with 6 bays, and 10Gbit! Double the price of course, but if it was available last year I wouldn't hesitate. ECC too, mean as!

that's 1k

i see

700$

lololol 850€, shipping... 320€

i think they ran low on stock

I see 700 and free shipping

They are always low on stock, I guess they make them in the family garage

i think that that upright one could fall over

but that does make small nas

looking at this one: aoostar.com/products/aoostar-wtr-ma…x-amd-r7-pro-8845hs-11-bays-mini-pc

sfp too

there are ton of magical stuff from china

like "zhenloong" disk enclosures

How have people solved it by being able to use the

gke-gcloud-auth-plugin in freebsd?

Where would I find the pdflatex binary? Does not seem to be in texlive-base nor in tex-formats both of which I've gotten installed.

hm, pkg which tells me it was installed by tex-formats

pkg-provides says the same

I haven't uset TeX on FreeBSD but, does elsewhere I just install it from tug.org. Is this method supported on FreeBSD? I mean using tlmgr to manage a TeX installation instead of the port?

s/does//

i've always used the port

I installed tex-formats, but wasn't able to find it

it's not at /usr/local/bin/pdflatex ?

Are you still using the default (t)csh shell?

duh!! This was one of those problem-between-the-ears issue! I had to do a rehash in the shell to have it show up in the path.

CrtxReavr: yes I'm using tcsh

just say no to tcsh

For starters: file /usr/local/bin/pdflatex

If it's there, then: rehash

(t)csh harkens back to an age where hard drivers were slower than floppy drives, so it caches what's in your path at login, and doesn't auto-update - that's what the rehash util is for.

hm, which shell doesn't cache that? I know zsh and bash do

maybe we need a modern unix that doesn't do that and is also not backward compatible at all

ah, well, zsh (and bash afaik) cache on first use, does tcsh really cache on startup?

rehash is like manual gear shifting, you'll like it

default shell is now /bin/sh, it doesn't need rehashing

anyone have an issue or fix with nvidia-drm-kmod, when loading the module it throws "symbol linux_kfree_async undefined"

im on a fresh install

elfelfelf: I didnt get that but i only got it to work by using nvidia-modeset

which should already be included in that package

also i had to use nvidia-xconfig
