What's with the overkill hardware setups?

[amon@lemmy.world]

Don't even have 256G installed in that thing

I never received the battery

[amon@lemmy.world]

Why? Wouldn't the VMs add extra complexity? Couldn't you just run the containers on the machine?

[amon@lemmy.world]

Sorry to tell you I never had a battery

[couch1potato@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I found one on craigslist. Half rack fully enclosed with door on front and back for $200. Had an UPS in the bottom that didn't work... it just needed new batteries lol.

Have a truck on hand to pick up and you can find a bargain.

Get a few scrap hdds and fit them in or idk wire the sata cables out of the case?

Then create a raid 0+1 configuration and you now have a couple tb of redundant storage.

Bonus points if you can get even more hdds (use usb adapters maybe?)

this is also my work machine and i sleep to the fans whirring

I just have an old laptop with a tui screen saver on it to prevent burn

also, the ssd doesn't work with linux so i have to put the os on a usb stick

[muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee]

I can probably 3d print something to hold the hdd's and get a cheap pcie sata card. If u got any recommendations for where to get some cheap drives lmk.

Yes my Plex server is a W520 and it shuts itself down at night because it's in the bedroom and the fans are too loud.

[alaphic@lemmy.world]

Yeah, right, like UPS would be here this quickly (ba dum tss)

[alaphic@lemmy.world]

I feel so seen rn

Sometimes one or two just don't have enough channels. The bottom one doesn't look like a scope though. It may be a spectrum analyzer, but it's hard to see.

[tinyvoltron@discuss.online]

Overkill is underrated.

[valmond@lemmy.world]

BRB just making a backup

[darkdarkhouse@lemmy.sdf.org]

Electricity meter go brrrrr

[horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world]

Do you have experience with kubernetes or kubectl and DR?

[dai@lemmy.world]

Try booting your installer without UEFI - I have an old x99 WS IPMI board I spun up with NixOS and has so many issues using the EFI / UEFI installer.

Admittedly that thing pulls 60w at idle, so promptly turned it off

My (family's) Homeserver is my dad's old gaming rig from ~2014

I just put an 8 TB Hard Drive in it and set it up as a combination Emby Server and ghetto "NAS".

[synopsistantilize@lemm.ee]

I just bought a whole new 8th gen Intel setup to be my main PC. So I could use my 4770 as a Plex server.

Nothing ever dies in my house, Just Machines for the machine gods.
