  • well .... times are hard for dell ... it's not like anyone is building any data centers or investing into digital infrastructure anymore.

  • it should be illegal period .... or at least SEC regulated (if we had an SEC that wasn't a captured agency) There should be a legitimate reason other than shareholder greed.

  • for a miini PC I recomend the M720q from Lenovo ... it's kind of overkill but it has a PCIE slot which means you can add a network card inside the original case and because it's 16x you can go up to 10G if you wanted to.

    I add external 2.5G cards on my other models via the USB3.0 ports but it's messy and then I have to setup LACP on the switch

  • how low are we talking? I run a homelab with mini pc's and pi

    The raspberry pi runs at 3-9W each mini pc runs at 25-65w

    Beware tho ... open sense is not stable on ARM, and requires some hacking around to work

  • TIL: I should have explored more when I was over there ... I just went to "pubs" and what I thought were British places ... never thought of venturing on that side of the culinary spectrum.

    Sounds like I need another trip soon LOL

  • I've been to London twice .... and the best food I've ever eaten the whole time there was fish and chippy from a street vendor by tower hill.

    Only the Brits would colonize half the world looking for spices and then refuse to use them in their food.

  • The only way that would happen ... is if Palantir gets a backdoor large enough to fit all of Alex Karp's ginormous forehead

  • BTRFS is not production ready (by their own admission)

    1 disk redundancy leaves you exposed whenever you have to rebuild ... has significantly higer chances of having a second disk fail so you should use double redundancy. Raid z2 doesn't make sense because with raid z10 you get performance gains AND double redundancy.

    Go with raid z10

  • Not to butt in into your conversation, just wanted to drop that me and my colleagues use what we call the "clone cars" method to combat our company's naming scheme

    So for example we dubbed CAPROD01 "Cappy" NASPROD01 became "Nasir" LTPDEV02 became "Luigi" (because he's always number 2)

    Of course in written communication we use the full name (which is much less of an inconvenience) and we always double check in conversation or spell out full names before doing anything critical

  • good bot pats head

  • Hail Catler!

  • I mean, you can always install Proxmox on Debian XD

    or for that matter LXD ... it's all kinda the same.

    Gotta love OSS

  • Haven't heard the gossip, please pray tell.

  • That's AWESOME, I also named my NAS Atlas ... because it carries the weight of all my backups

    Good call on those names, you're giving me some pretty cool ideas for my next servers

  • There are a TON of different tutorials and videos.

    If you're looking for a beginner friendly interface for your servers; I recommend "Cockpit" you just "sudo apt-get install cockpit" and it gives you a nice to use web interface to manage most of your servers, you can then install plugins as needed, for example you can install net bird or Pangolin to make it accessible from the internet.

    If you want something more like what I'm doing here (Virtualization) you can try Canonical's version of this which runs on ubuntu, They're called LXD https://canonical.com/lxd/manage

    Basically they're tiny ritualized linux instances inside of your main ubuntu server (Containers) with their own kernel so that changes on the base server don't bother your other apps.
