intel optane

Well, oops. I was going to spend my second post in this series detailing my experience setting up the server, installing applications, and getting Home Assistant running. Instead, though, a pretty big oversight means I will have to wait a bit. I bought a refurbished Dell machine, which seemed plenty enough for what I wanted to do with it: 8th generation i5 Intel processor, 16GB RAM, and 1T storage. Except, oops, I didn’t notice that it included the stupid Intel Optane chip and the real storage is a spinny rust hard drive. Probably showing how long since...
