Dr. Pulaski Appreciation Post ( startrek.website )

I don't know whether it's a popular opinion or not, but I think Dr. Pulaski was a great character and I found her much more interesting than Dr. Crusher. I don't know if it was down to the writing or the performance but Pulaski is one of the best parts of season 2 and I would have been happy to see her character continue....

AlternateRoute ,

I am somewhat neutral on her, when she was introduced I kind of felt she was a gender swapped bones to setup the bones / spock dynamic but with data.

Sadly the only thing I remember her for is being mean to data, getting rapidly aged, and replacing Picard’s heart, that is 3 out of 22 episodes she is credited in.

For me Crusher vs Pulaski somewhat comes down to bedside manner/ compassion. Pulaski just comes across as a bit blunt and prickly at times and Pulaski just has fewer memorable episodes due to only having the one season.

40 drives ? Why that is a huge amount of power , what is your space target

RAID 1 ? With 40 drives ? That would be absolutely stupid you want to use RAID 6 or 10 so you don’t waist 50 % of your space with RAID 1. Or some other N+2 disk redundancy.

Have you considered how much power such a large setup will need?

AlternateRoute ,

RAID isn’t backup it is high availability.

When is a storage VLAN or SAN necessary?

The majority of my homelab consists of two servers: A Proxmox hypervisor and a TrueNAS file server. The bulk of my LAN traffic is between these two servers. At the moment, both servers are on my “main” VLAN. I have separate VLANs for guests and IoT devices, but everything else lives on VLAN2....

AlternateRoute ,
  • If having dedicated interfaces / subnets is needed for improved bandwidth
  • If you want to have a network segment with jumbo frames (you often don’t want this on the general network interfaces)
  • If the network protocol creates substantial network noise iSCSI / block level protocols tend to be very noisy. Vs file level ones like SMB or NFS
AlternateRoute ,

iSCSI is block level storage where NFS/SMB are file level… When you browse a folder with SMB/NFS it is going to ask the remote service for the meta file list then cache the whole thing till it thinks it needs it refreshed… iSCSI is going to go read a set of blocks to read the metadata off the remote file system. iSCSI can be considerably more chatty between the two hosts as it is lower level.

Simple answer would be to attached the pi to the router via the router Ethernet port on the LAN side and learn how DHCP and DNS work.

Pi-hole is primarily a forwarding DNS server that filters DNS requests

AlternateRoute ,

The Bynar are very tied in like the borg but it is all willing and for the most part they retain individuality at least down to the couples level.

Only reason the Borge are hated is the forced joining that removes individuality. The federation likely has no issue with the whole cyborg part.

AlternateRoute ,

Good points, however the federation still works with them…

AlternateRoute ,

Not going to score it but I stopped watching at the end of season one.

Really enjoying lower decks and strange new worlds however

AlternateRoute ,

There are a lot of alternative tiny/mini/micro/NUC like PCs available now.

When intel introduced the NUC it was fairly unique.

AlternateRoute ,

I started picking up Used Tiny / Mini / Micro systems. I currently have a Lenovo M910q with an i7 7th gen running my frigate dockers. I got it from a local second had PC shop, but you can find them on eBay and Facebook market place often. Asus makes a NUC like box, and there are Aliexpress brands like beelink etc.

A lot of options.

AlternateRoute ,

Serve the home has a bunch of reviews on really powerful AMD mini PCs now as well.
