  • While their latest adventures into trying to force people into buying their branded hdds sucks I must say I really enjoy using Synology NAS as a storage location and their Hyper Backup software works great with rotating usb drives (setup one task per disk and disable notifications on the task if the usb drive is disconnected).
    I found a Synology became a lot more responsive when I installed an extra 16GB of RAM (Crucial 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL22 SODIMM CT16G4SFRA32A works in both Synology DS224+ and DS443+)

    If I were to build a new storage solution at home today I would look at ZFS-1 and 5 large HDDs (probably 16TB drives)

    I’d put it in a Jonsbo N2 or similar case and combine it with an M-ITX Intel N100 integrated motherboard and a PCIe SATA Expansion Card.
    Then I would continue to run two devices and have most services run on another device using the Jonsbo N2 primarily as a storage device. If you don’t need to transcode 4k Blu-Ray or something then the N100 is fully capable of hosting a Jellyfin server.





  • They mention standardisations and cost savings in their paper, as well as solving the heat load per cell problem by decreasing cell size. They also mention that there’s been a lot of micro-CPV module designs but that they haven’t been scaled up. Some quotes below:

    Various researchers and developers have been exploring different micro-CPV module designs [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. Most approaches have been tested on small prototypes or minimodules, while fewer have been realized with aperture areas (Aap) above 200 and 800 cm2,[…]

    By decreasing the sizes of the primary optics and the solar cells, the heat load per cell is minimized. This reduction allows for sufficient heat spreading via the circuit board, enabling the direct assembly of solar cells onto the circuit board on glass.

    At Fraunhofer ISE, we have developed a micro-CPV module concept [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], which is based on parallelized manufacturing processes and commercially available components.

    The final module features a panel size of 24” × 18”, which is a standard in the microelectronics industry, facilitating machine adaption without necessitating special adjustments.




  • Yeah, if the user can’t verify the truthfulness of the LLM generated text then it has no use as it can’t be trusted.
    I’d say the thing LLM is best at for me is giving me a starting point, in the same way that it is easier to fix someone else’s writing than it is to write something from a blank slate. Oh and copilot is generally up to date on where in Microsoft 365 Admin you find an option right now, compared to all the outdated official and unofficial guides out there.
