Oração à Virgem Maria pela Santa Pureza “Santa Pureza, a rainha das virtudes, a virtude angélica, é uma jóia tão preciosa que aquele que a possui se torna como os anjos de Deus no Céu, ainda que revestidos da mortalidade da carne.” São João Bosco. Fazemos parte de uma realidade cujo desprezo pela virtude da pureza está cada vez mais ascendente. Assim, nossa vigilância, a fim de que não caiamos na mesmice oferecida pelo pecado, deve ser revestida pela fortaleza advinda da oração. Busquemos, principalmente, espelharmo-nos na vida e nas virtudes e plenitude de dons de Maria Puríssima, “criatura mais preciosa da criação” (São Cirilo de Alexandria), que é nossa mediadora ao Mestre Jesus, verdadeiro Deus e verdadeiro Homem, puro por excelência e digno de adoração. Rezemos a seguinte Oração a Maria Santíssima pela Santa Pureza: 1. Coração Puríssimo de Maria, por vosso amor e com vosso auxílio, estou resolvido a não consentir, neste dia, em nenhum pensamento impuro. Ajudai-me, Senhora, a afastá-los logo. Ave Maria, cheia de graça, o Senhor é convosco, bendita sois vós entre as mulheres e bendito é o fruto do vosso ventre, Jesus. Santa Maria, Mãe de Deus, rogai por nós pecadores, agora e na hora da nossa morte. Amém. Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dóminus tecum. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen. 2. Coração Puríssimo de Maria por vosso amor e com vosso auxílio, estou resolvido a não proferir, neste dia, palavra alguma indecente. Purificai, Senhora, a minha língua. Ave Maria... 3. Coração Puríssimo de Maria por vosso amor e com vosso auxílio, estou resolvido a guardar, neste dia, especial modéstia em todas as minhas ações. Ó Senhora minha! Ó minha Mãe! Impetrai-me a graça de sempre e em tudo dar gosto ao vosso Puríssimo Coração. Ave Maria... Meu Jesus, Fazei-me puro. Puro nos olhos, pensamentos e nas ações. Fazei-me humilde, que eu sempre desconfie de mim mesmo e não me exponha ao perigo do pecado. Fazei-me penitente, dai-me amor ao sofrimento; tanto sofrestes por mim, que quero sofrer por vós. Fazei-me generoso, para que eu nada vos recuse e toda a minha vida seja vossa. Fazei-me zeloso pela Glória de Deus e pela Salvação das almas. Meu Jesus, fazei-me obediente aos meus pais e superiores. Amém! Uma alma pura é uma pérola preciosa. Enquanto está escondida na concha no fundo do mar, ninguém pensa em admirá-la. Mas se a trouxermos para a luz, esta pérola brilhará e atrairá todos os olhares. Portanto, a alma pura que está escondida aos olhos do mundo um dia irá brilhar ante os anjos no sol da eternidade. São João Maria Vianney Deus Vos salve Virgem da Trindade templo, alegria dos anjos, da pureza exemplo! (Trecho do Ofício da Imaculada Conceição) www.catolicoarretado.com.br/2017/06/oracao-virgem-maria-pela-santa-pureza.html?m=1#:~:text=Meu%20Jesus%2C,que%20quero%20sofrer%20por%20v%C3%B3s.

Every so often it gums up and I need to restart, but I'm running it as my home media server which I have configured with revprox so I can watch my Emby server from anywhere (may try JellyFin soon), my gaming VM with my GTX 1660 Ti passed through, our home UniFi WiFi server, home file server, and a couple other things which I'm drawing a blank on right now. In any case, the more folks who are putting out good content about unRAID and how to make to do what it does would be greatly appreciated, and your content is QUITE good! Thank you.

Great tutorial and channel. Your presentation is smooth and accessible to DIY/Enthusiast/Hobbyist like myself. I have been working on my own homelab/studio that started as a collection of old desktops of various architecture/form factors repurposed as Proxmox nodes. Now I have a serious collection of compute and storage resources that I dont dare run at one time unless it gets real cold. Then I do "folding at home" play hardcore graphical video games, mine monero or run hashcat 😝 then its like the tropics in my apartment ...lulz In the previous video about building an economical NAS from various components, I have a very similar mobo made by foxconn for HP called the Nutmeg-C or P it is a slimline mini-ITX with same soldered on CPU the J2900 Quad-Core Celeron Swamptrail? 1.6GHz very powerful almost industrial PC. Well it doesnt have PCIe slots it has a mini-PCIe for WiFi and two SATA2 data ports but an odd proprietary power connection that is closest to a Audio Line-In connection. I think I should just need to wire my own for it from a 4pin Molex connector. I've only used that one with different LiveOS from USB. It remains in my collection because it is so elegant and economical for doing many things... Like making use of "thin clients" over Raspberry Pi's

In July 2022 I migrated all of my VMs, storage and self hosted services to Unraid after running proxmox for a few years. It’s been a game changer for me. While I have a proxmox box for backups and misc, Unraid is my favorite and primary HV/NAS. IMO the license fee is well worth it. When I find a FOSS project that’s useful I’ll donate funds to support it so I find no fault in paying for stuff that adds value to my lab or workflow.

Something to consider about the power supply, depending on how many drives you're using, the stock PSU that comes with a lot of prebuilt PCs may not have enough connectors, much less enough power. I'm using TrueNAS on an old Optiplex 7010 and had to pop in a PSU upgrade to have enough SATA power connectors.

This is an excellent video that goes over a complete relatively basic setup - thanks! I have one request for a potential follow-up: one of the possible issues in repurposing an old pc as a 24/7 server is power consumption (with power prices in some places in Europe beign 0.30 € / kWh running a 100W device 24/7 would cost 260€ a year, for example, and even with US prices being nearer 0.15 USD / kWh it's stilla pretty penny) - would you be able to delve a bit into how much power your system uses? If you have access to a more conventional NAS a comparison might also be very interesting.

@HardwareHaven 2 жыл бұрын

Dang I meant to mention power consumption.. This system idled at around 35W. I didn’t test power draw while running data transfers or the terraria server, but during a cinebench run (so basically full cpu load), it pulled around 90w from the wall.

@nahco3994 2 жыл бұрын

That's the reason why I hesitate to move any of my home network services from my Raspberry Pi to more capable hardware. Even the RPi 4B idles at roughly 3 W, and peaks out at a meager 7.5 W or so. That's really tough to beat, given the fact that its performance is more than good enough for most tasks. It might struggle a bit with media transcoding though, since there's no hardware support for that.

But at this point I have no idea when the time/money will allow me to upgrade as We're a 1 income household (mine) with a young child and children are expensive hahaha but when I do I will think about making a server out of this bad boy here. (Its a hand me down machine we built for my wife some years back as it tends in our household that my wife gets the new machines and I get the older ones) (Granted I tend to run my machines longer than some do, I ran my E8400 based 2008 Machine with 8gb ddr2 and a 4870x2 on XPx64 from Sept 2008 to Jan 2020 so just under 12 years before I took this one from the wife when she changed over to a gaming laptop so she could go game with friends at their houses (Just before Pandemic hit hahaha)

I prefer configuring Gentoo with all sort of utilities that I want to use for self-hosting, but obviously it demores a lot more of time and need certain expertise - meanwhile unRAID is automatic for this. My favorite solution, however, along with Xigmanas (despise not being for Docker, but I value how secure, robust and comfy it is).

having a gpu is not necessary but can be really useful if you want to host an ollama web ui as well.

I did build s server for $0.00. It is based in the remains of a 2003 HP d530 SFF. It contains a Pentium 4 HT (1C2T; 3.0GHz); 1.5GB DDR (400MHz); 4 leftover HDDs in total 1.21TB (3.5" IDE 250+320GB and 2.5" SATA-1 320+320GB). The case is an even more ancient; a Compaq Evo Tower with a Windows 98SE Activation Sticker. The system runs FreeBSD 13.1 on OpenZFS 2.1.4. The system has 2 external cables 1Gbps Ethernet and Power. I use it as backup server. The system is in use since June 2019 for 1 to 2 hours/week to receive the zfs back up (send | ssh receive). All storage, cache and transfers are lz4 compressed (ratio 1.9). The system has one disadvantage, it only reaches 200Mbps of the 1Gbps due to a 95% load on one CPU thread.
