What's with the overkill hardware setups?

[teije9@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

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

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)

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.

Overkill is underrated.

Do you have experience with kubernetes or kubectl and DR?

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".

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.

I keep my laptop in a bookbag thanks.

Imagine asking "why?" instead of "why not?"

[threshold_dweller@lemmy.today]

I used to sell a product that OEMed CFEngine. My condolences.

And heat

Top right are oscilloscopes, doubt it has anything to do with hosting

I'm currently using a ryzen 5600u mini-pc, which is more than enough for what I do. Although it'd be cool to have something more server-like. The thing is: those notebook cpus are very efficient and low energy consumption is a priority for me.

I wish I knew how to do that. Can't get my VMM or Virtual Box running well.
