I know in the US, local government, schools, universities, etc. will hold surplus sales when they get rid of old equipment. Maybe you can see if they do something similar near you?
You might also compare the price of a local system vs cloud hosting. That might work out to be cheaper.
I have a Jonsbo N3 and I’ve been happy with it so far. The N1 and N2 only fit four drives, so if you want more, you’ll have to get the N3 as well. And you’ll have to get an HBA or something, because your motherboard will probably only have four SATA ports.
The biggest power draw will be the drives, also. And you don’t really need ECC on the desktop; random bit flips are uncommon and rarely significant when they happen. Your filesystem and/or RAID should protect against disk corruption.
If you can root your phone and use an xposed module, maybe. Or the EU forces them. Otherwise, there’s not much option.
It probably gives some useful info. What does it say? Also, what changed between now and the last time it worked?
For http(s), yes. Other services that don’t support host routing, which is most of them, no.
Keep in mind that a lot of countries have introduced ID requirements on stuff like phones due to people like terrorists and drug traffickers buying them as burners.
I think it means in the encrypted state. Still, bad.
So they can review reports and ban people
Readers: make sure you read the replies. This happened four days ago and has since been resolved.
Check the backplane before you buy drives or an HBA. The N3’s backplane just has SATA ports and molex power, you’d have to swap out the whole backplane and hack something together. The N1 and N2 are probably similar.
