WHAKAARI / WHITE ISLAND The Volcanic Alert Level has been raised to Level 3 at White Island and the Aviation Colour Code raised to orange. Aviation Colour Code Orange indicates that a volcanic eruption is underway but with little or no ash being produced. On Geonet's website, duty volcanologist Geoff Kilgour said the volcano had produced "a more vigorous plume" on Friday afternoon, moving volcanic ash to the east of the island. Today, 10th August, Whakaari exhibited vigorous activity at the vent, which maintained a constant plume that was visibly depositing ash into the sea. The latest official information is available from GeoNet at https://www.geonet.org.nz/mbl/news/6C... Just to clarify, a drone has no sound, from the brief times we could hear the sound it was identical to Dukono in Indonesia. This was the sound used in this video.

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero! Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it! Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc. So, how’s it going?

Hi all I'm looking to replace my old IBM M3 an M4 servers with something more modern Use case: - Proxmox: - OPNsense - TrueNAS - Plex/Jellyfin - Reverse proxy - Web servers for blogs etc - QBT - Nextcloud - IoT/home automation - A heap of linux VMs/Containers of odds and ends - Docker - arr stack - Dashboards - etc Maybe replace the 3/4s dead laptop that is currently driving the lounge TV as well I'm looking to hopefully replace the diskshelf at the same time and have a mix of sata and sas drives (I can carry over the HBAs for the sas) I've not built a pc for nigh on 15 years so I'm a tad out of the loop. From reading it looks like intel may be the best route and I was thinking of something like: - Core i5 12400 or Core i5 14400 - B760M DS3H AX mATX or B660M Pro RS I'm open to thoughts and ideas of what id doable Edit: The IBM M4 runs E5-2650 v2 and 96GB ram The M3 runs dual xeon 5xxx and has about 60BG ram and is only used for testing/play and is seldom powered up
