I am powering up my self-assembled NAS for the first time and, of course, it is not working. I am panicking because I cannot return any of the components I am using… 🤯

The absolute first time I powered it up, it stayed on but the HDMI did not output anything, so I brutally unplugged the power (I am starting to regret I did this), and connected a USB with a Proxmox image on it.

Now, every time I plug in the power supply, the NAS powers for one second, than shuts off for two seconds, then it tries to boot again… It goes like this on and on and on…

Any tips to troubleshoot this?

Here are the components I am using:

• Case: Jonsbo N3
• 6× SATA 6 cables
• PSU: Chieftec CSN-450C 450W SFX 80 Plus Gold
• Topton N18 + Intel N150
• 2× RAM 16GB DDR5
• 2× HDD Seagate Ironwolf NAS 10TB
• UPS: BlueWalker Power Basic VI 1000 STL

All the geeks talk about how on the holidays, we're the ones who spend the event in the back room doing software updates and getting printers to work. But what they often neglect to mention is that we're all _happier_ doing that than engaging in social interaction…

Looking forward to updating our parents’ computers this weekend!

Another exciting tech question for the Masto massive.

I need advice for Wordpress[com] assistance. I have a friend who is locked out of their site - theyve had it for a long time but recently got locked out and cant recover it bc they dont have any proof its their account. Does any Wordpress guru have a tip on how to rescue this situation?

So, Firefox ate itself today. None of my various profiles seem to restore the prior functionality. I guess it's time to try a backup restore and see what that begats.
