Couple of weeks ago my 55 years old father asked, if I could help him smarten their home.
I said, sure, what you need? He told me, that they need to change their thermostat.

So I told him about @homeassistant, I ordered him a Bosch Room Thermostat II 230V, a #Zigbee antenna, and my old #RaspberryPi3.

We spent last day installing the hardware and Home Assistant OS.

This morning I got a message from him:
"The base automatization works, now we need only to fine tune it."

Omg 🙀, I totally missed the #Tutter instance' first birthday! It was on September 3rd.
Happy birthday 🥳 #Tutter!
Thanks all the users your support!

I know a lot of folks are #Selfhosting big storage here, so this is a question for you!
Also, I follow you @stefano and @gyptazy and know you have hands on experience with this, hence the tagging.

I plan to upgrade my #Proxmox storage with 4 12+TB disk (mostly for expendable data, don't really care if I lost lot data if a disk dies, but they will be in #zfs raidz-1).

So for my current budge I'm thinking about buying WD Red Pro 12TB or I also found Toshiba Enterprise MG Series 20TB (MG10ACA20TE).

Do you recommend any of this, or can you help me find better disks?

Thanks for your help!
