A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
EDIT: i had an rpi it died from esd i think
EDIT2: this is also my work machine and i sleep to the sound of the fans
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
this is also my work machine and i sleep to the fans whirring
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.
Wow look at Mr FancyPants over there, your server has a screen, I just got something (RPi) the size of a matchbox! /s
Sometimes it's fun to go nuts!
I wonder how easy it is to get used server racks, and how cheap they are 🤔
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.
I reckon the electricity is the real killer (and the noise!)
Definitely the noise. Jesus Christ the noise...
I just upgraded my daily driver laptop to a new desktop, so now I'm using the laptop as a home server. Much more powerful than anything else I could afford.
I have an overkill hardware setup because it’s fun. No I don’t really need 4 servers in a Proxmox cluster with 64GB RAM each.. but it’s cool lol. Besides the hardware was just gonna become ewaste anyway, I’m repurposing it
How did you get multiple 64 GB RAM sticks that would've been ewaste?
As it's obsolete server hardware, I'm guessing each one has a bunch of low capacity ram sticks in it. And they're probably not the regular consumer grade stuff, but some other spec.
I have 2 old dell prebuilt boxes of shit things stacked on top of eachother. I do need some recommendations for storage as I currently just have everything on a single ssd.
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?)
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.
I mean you aren't going to host 100tb of porn in that laptop.....yet 😘
Don't even have 256G installed in that thing
I just have a dell optiplex sitting in the corner running Proxmox. then I can spin up whatever I need.
How are you going to know the internet is working with thet few blinking LEDs?
It even has an integrated UPS.
I never received the battery
the united parcel service would like to chat with you! [CLICK HERE] to accept
Yeah, right, like UPS would be here this quickly (ba dum tss)
I like my n100 mini and usb drives. A full fat server has little WAF when the selling point is an LLM. The n100 handles all our needs sadly.
A dozen or so LXCs. A dozen or so docker containers. A couple VMs, including a Mint VM to turn my android tablet into a desktop. They were sold as a great little home lab, and that they are.
Then again, it's a year old and I'm only beginning in this hobby.
Working hardware is working hardware; form factor doesn't really matter.
My primary DNS server is a rpi.
I also host my stuff on oscilloscopes.
That pic looks very much like the corner of a memory validation lab I worked in at one point. Wouldn't surprise me at all if someone who's really into server hardware had a home setup like that.
I have setup like that because i do a lot of repairs and I've yet to acquire minipc for server purposes, plan to buy n100 fanless one, for now i have rented vps for 2 years for selfhosting purposes
Let's be real though, What's someone doing with three oscilloscopes
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.
An experiment because someone once thought "you know what would be better than two oscilloscopes?"
Playing Doom.
Man crazy fun is to be had with sillyscopes
Build your own breadboard with ICs and you can play doom on it.
Well kind of. But dude, you can get all sort of crazy ass signal information from your circuits with em. Like watching SPI devices talk to each other is wild.
Mad scientist shit.
Viewing multiple signals, signal generation, digital signal analysis.
You may be able to do most of that with the newer one on the top of the stack; but it's nice to have backups/spares to use or just to put things on separate screens.
Missing a Raspberry PI 4 setup which hosts a print server, an RTP server with two surveillance webcams and no password, and also seeds a terabyte of torrents over the local flower shop's unencrypted WiFi.
Wow, that was a journey... :)
Best I can do is Samsung galaxy A71 with lineage os.
Some people actually have the services they host get used by other people.
Embracing constraints makes you learn fast. I bet you could teach enterprise sysadmins a few things about performance monitoring and optimization.
I guess I'm somewhere in between with a bunch of RasPis xD
