That sounds like a fun experimentation platform. Power shouldn’t be a problem except for the bill, the PSUs are meant to be redundant rather than for combined output. You probably won’t draw more than 300 watts most of the time. The drive controller probably has staggered spin-up to prevent over current conditions. The bigger factor in my experience is the noise, expect a jet engine during boot and a dull roar the rest of the time. SuperMicro boards often allow you to set the fans lower, but the PSUs will be loud all the time. If I were you, I’d install TrueNAS or ProxMox and play around with it. You may be able to triage the issues. You may need to set the drive controllers to HBA mode or flash an HBA firmware to them. It’s probably not worth running long term with SandyBridge, power to performance is pretty bad.

2·5 months agoI’ve never paid mind to it, but I think I pronounce it like you do. If I focus on not hitting the sh sound it sounds English, my normal accent is West-coast American.
Straw, strength, strip, all of those words I place a blending sh sound before the tr sound. If anything it might sound closest to ‘schrawberry’.
Interesting! I’ll pay attention to how others say it going forward.

politics @lemmy.world•Rep. Elise Stefanik announces run for New York governor, challenging Kathy Hochul in 2026 election
2·8 months agoI’d like her to be primaried. She’s better than Cuomo, but she was his lieutenant gov and it shows. Her mishearing “Tax the rich” as “Let’s go Bills” bullshit really illustrates her place as a corporate Democrat.
