What's with the overkill hardware setups?

[ve7wyc@lemmy.radio]

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.

[redditrefugee69@lemmynsfw.com]

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

[teije9@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

nah, it's not uefi. linux straight up doesn't even see the drive when it's in the pc. according to archwiki, all laptops in its series work perfectly with Linux except for this one. the SSD does work externally in an enclosure though, so I'm using it for storage.

[feathercrown@lemmy.world]

Racks? None

Screens? Attached

Fans? Full blast

Oh yeah, it's server laptop time
