If anything you could try doing promotional balance transfers onto a lower interest rate credit card if it gives you say 12-24 months 0 interest rate -

Just be aware that if you don't pay off the entire balance by the end of the 12-24 month period that they will hit you with the entirety of the back interest starting from day 1, plus you have to pay fees to do a balance transfer so this is probably not an option in OP's case.

Maybe a BMW like an M3 or something? After looking at the Civic I realized it has to be older as just about every new car has thin LED taillights while this thing has traditional round bulbs.

Possibly also a Nissan GTR with a custom exhaust based on the shape and position of the taillights.

Edit: not a GTR either. This car has the license plate directly between the taillights while the GTR is lower on the bumper.

But he's funny by being corny and "unfunny" in the reality that is tne TV show if that makes any sense. It's similar to how the Michael Scott character is played

That's an awful photo to go off of but based on the exhaust placement alone, could it be one of the newer Civic hatchbacks?

Edit: I googled and no it's not a Civic hatchback. The tail lights are completely different.

No they're typically funny but never give away that they're trying to be funny.

I think he was fine in the earlier season(s) (what season are they on now?) but agree he still acts the same after the "change" (to not spoil anything).

Unfortunately not all theives understood the difference, so while your car might not be stolen, you could still end up with a smashed window.

They have to lay the groundwork to condition people into thinking that the president can just ignore the courts in the near future.

The Washingtonians that you want to attack don't live anywhere near your border and rarely travel outside of the trailer parks of Centralia, so I think your anger is misdirected.

If the stock market crashes and doesn't recover, that money will be worthless regardless of where you store it.

 

I'm looking for some advice or alternate perspectives on what I should do with my server.

I built it in 2018 with a Ryzen 2700X, X470 Taichi, 32GB RAM, 1080TI, and it's (now) up to around 100TB raw in storage space that I've been adding bit by bit in this Fractal Define R6 case. It hosts Plex, the *arr stack, Qbit, but also is used for my general purpose PC stuff like shitposting, 3d printing (CAD and slicers), retro gaming (roms and emulators), general NAS storage, etc and it all runs on Windows 10 (which is where the issue arises).

I knew long term that Windows would be an issue (but didn't and still don't have adequate knowledge of Linux), and it's now to the point that things are becoming a bit unstable and I would like to split the server stuff out from everything else and put it in a dedicated machine. In addition to the above services, I also have a Pi with HomeAssistant that I'd like to migrate to the new server along with setting up Frigate to gain some object recognition with my NVR camera setup

I am wanting to do this in the most efficient and economical way but I'm not sure what the best path to choose is.

Option A) Slap a Ryzen 5xxx into my current system and migrate to another OS like TrueNAS, build something small and lightweight for general PC stuff

Pros- Less stuff to buy

Cons- data migration out of Windows (SnapRAID + Drivepool) will be an issue as I'll need to have both the 'old' and 'new' server running at the same time to copy everything over

Option B) build a new server

Pros- can switch to Intel for the iGPU, newer hardware with more longevity and efficiency, data migration is easier

Cons- more cost, I'll want to reuse my case so I'll need to cobble together a solution during data migration, not sure what to do the current hardware that's leftover as I'm not big on Marketplace selling.

Option C) ??

I'm not exactly dead set on what to run on the server for an OS or hypervisor. I've briefly looked at Proxmox which would be nice for my dynamic interests but as I said I'm not exactly proficient in Linux for the media OS. I recently saw a video on TrueNAS which appeared easier to setup and manage, but it doesn't seem to be the right choice for VMs and whatnot.

And advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
