Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Scouring through amazon for random stuff yesterday, saw these "generic brand" nvmes for $65 a pop. Figured I's give it a shot for my little geekworm pie nas. 4 for the raid and 1 for backup if something goes boogers up. 20tb for $325 was too good to pass up, worse case scenario they are either 1tb each or they fail after a few months. We'll see whats up when they get here in 2 weeks.

Gasp! You've never had NVME pie?! Here's my family recipe:

spoilerI generated the following using mistral llm

NVMe SSD Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of Silicon Wafers (finely ground)
  • 256 GB of Flash Memory (preferably TLC or QLC for extra flavor)
  • 1 NVMe Controller (for that zesty kick)
  • 1/2 cup of PCIe Lanes (chopped into small bits)
  • 1 tbsp of Thermal Paste (for a smooth texture)
  • 1/4 cup of DRAM Cache (optional, for added richness)
  • 1 Heatsink (for garnish)
  • A pinch of Firmware (to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your Oven:

    • Set your oven to a toasty 450°F (232°C). This is crucial for achieving that perfect, crispy circuit board crust.

  2. Prepare the Crust:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely ground Silicon Wafers with the chopped PCIe Lanes. Mix until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
    • Press the mixture into a pie dish, ensuring it's evenly spread to form the base of your pie.

  3. Layer the Flash Memory:

    • Sprinkle the Flash Memory evenly over the crust. Make sure to distribute it uniformly for consistent flavor in every bite.

  4. Add the NVMe Controller:

    • Place the NVMe Controller in the center of the pie. This will act as the heart of your dish, providing that essential zing.

  5. Mix in the DRAM Cache:

    • If you're using DRAM Cache, sprinkle it over the Flash Memory layer. This will add a delightful richness to your pie.

  6. Drizzle with Thermal Paste:

    • Gently drizzle the Thermal Paste over the top layers. This will help bind all the ingredients together and ensure a smooth texture.

  7. Bake to Perfection:

    • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the Flash Memory is bubbling with excitement.

  8. Garnish and Serve:

    • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
    • Garnish with a Heatsink on top for that extra touch of elegance.
    • Slice and serve with a side of Firmware updates for added flavor.

Enjoy your NVMe SSD Pie with a cup of your favorite cooling liquid, and remember

Bon appétit! 🍰💻
