I dont expect to need more lanes for this nas. The drives are 12TB each and should me more than i need for what i plan to use them for.

The biggest thing i was hoping to get out of a premade enclosure was lower power draw, but you’re right that I can just get old low power equipment, which should help

I would take a SAS DAS if you know of one.

This is what i was expecting to hear, i was just hopeful someone knew something i didnt.

if you want to type the key yourself each time this could work. I’m not aware of an app that does this but it wouldn’t be too hard I don’t think.

if you’re encrypting at rest you also have to consider where there encryption key is being stored.

if you’re storing the encryption key plaintext on the same drive as the data, there’s not much of a point in encrypting.

a TPM/HSM could solve the issue, depending on how far down the rabbit hole you need to go.

EDIT: You could also encrypt the disk of the VM/Server hosting the app. similar situation.

I think there are windows containers available, but even M$ has given up pushing windows server for cloud native stuff. All their tutorial docs for containers use linux haha

Just sent them to you.

Once in a blue moon i have to restart omnisharp, but its just a simple lsp restart

Much less often these days then even a year ago

I also use neovim through WSL on windows to do work

All linux! I think debian, though they have alpine images too.

I wouldnt wish windows containers on my worst enemy haha.

I use the dotnet/sdk image to build and publish into the dotnet/aspnet for runtime since it’s smaller. Both from mcr.microsoft.com

Software devs have a lot of technobabble haha!

I do all my editing in neovim, with omnisharp as an lsp. It works pretty well. Happy to send you my dotfiles if you want.

As far as deployment, dotnet just runs on Linux now, especially if you’re do8ng web, its all the same. I deploy through containers to kubernetes, and its super smooth

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t think you’re going to find anything like that. Linux doesn’t really need some maintenance app running on top of it to keep it healthy. most of the programs that claim to do the same on windows,. android, etc. don’t really do anything helpful either. If you’ve got a specific issue that keeps popping up, perhaps we can solve it.

I don’t think you’re going to find a magic program that will just make your computer run faster. If there is a lot of CPU usage, something is using it. try to find out what that is, and either stop the process, wait for it to finish, etc.

if you have a lot of maintenance tasks that run and take up resources, maybe try and reschedule them for other times of the day?
