I’m in Virginia - I love Washington state, spent some time in Issaquah a while back in the SeaTac area… But the last time we moved my wife told me in no uncertain terms “If you take another out of state job, you’re going alone.” (Too many years of travelling for work…)

But I’m an awesome remote worker. ;-)

Ask you’re employer if they’re hiring…or…you know…adopting. ;-)

Not gonna lie… I have some space…

So just did a couple of experiments…

sudo su -sh /home - returns permission denied errors on certain NAS subdirectories, but not a lot.

du -sh /home --summarize -returns the same errors.

du -sh --max-depth=0 - returns the same errors plus an error saying that using --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize.

;-) for the purposes of what I was doing (creating a clip for posting) redirecting stderr to null was the best option.

But I learned a few things today, which is cool. ;-)

Now I need to try that.

SAS actually ends up being a little cheaper due to it not being as compatible with home systems… And it’s a refurb but I got lucky because smartctl showed it only had about 200 hrs of uptime reported.

I know, I just paid $500 for a 24TB SAS drive that was $250 just over a year ago.

I shred paper. ;-) After digitizing it of course. ;-)

Oddly enough, still generates errors. (There are stuff in user directories that are set to 600… so even root can’t browse/open.)

Nope, you are exactly on.

Yeah,

So Home is a separate 1.8TB NVME drive… But under home is my home directory, and under that is a half-dozen NAS mounts, including my Plex stuff. collection of ISO images. ;-)

To be fair, all but about 2TB of that is on a NAS…but still.

For working I’m a backup and DR guy…the name was intended to be ironic. ;-)

Jesus…

2> means stderr… Keeps the “can’t access …” Out of the display.

Small Datacenter…

Hardware: 3x Dell R630’s, 256G (in 2) 512G (in 1) (Proxmox, Vmware ESX, NutanixCE) 1x Dell R730XD, 240TB, 256G-Ram (Truenas) 1x Dell R730XD, 50TB, 128GB Ram (Proxmox Backup Server)

In truenas containers I’m running my entire *Arr stack, cloudflare, Paperless, Ollama, Immich, etc.

In Proxmox I’m running a few Linux VM’s (mail gateway, Desktop VM’s for work, etc). VMWare and Nutanix are disposable hypervisors I use for deployment testing for work stuff.
