  • Can you, uh, remind everyone why that is? I obviously know, but for all those people that need to hear it again?

  • Oh that's good to know. I took a look at notesnook a bit ago and immediately noped out when it appeared I'd have to get a subscription to do basic stuff.

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem insults Canadians in bizarre stunt at U.S. border

  • This really is the worst timeline. We should be best friends and have that border that was barely guarded through the 90s. 😞

    We barely know. I think she's literally a puppy murderer.

  • While I would be open to a trade, I'd be more looking for something like the Synology that I already have, just not so walled garden. I currently have a number of 2.5 and 3.5 inch disks that I'd like to keep using, and I think the Optiplex is more of just a regular desktop than a server?

  • Huh, I'm also in the PNW. This could work out. I think it's a bit too much for my needs, and I really don't have the space for it. That said, I do want to learn how to use it, and get it up and running, etc. But after that I would definitely be looking to get something more practical. And quiet if it's as loud as people are saying.

  • Ugh that's unfortunate, because I do not have an out of the way place to put it. It didn't make any noise when I plugged it in, but I imagine that comes from the drives when I insert them

  • Hey, thanks for your advice, and honestly the permission to be okay with not using it. I lost sight of that and it's a good reminder. I am a little concerned for the noise and power consumption that everyone is talking about, especially since I don't have an out of the way place to stick it.

    That said, while I might ultimately not use it, I will at least learn enough to get it running. And like you said, fail a lot. But if I don't have anything on it, failure won't be so painful when I inevitability have to start over.

    I'll have to get some sort of adapter for VGA, and thanks for the talking about idrac. I had seen that mentioned on the server and had no idea what it was. So is the idrac website I'm connecting to like the website on routers used for configuration?

  • Hey thanks for the advice! Proxmox and TrueNAS seem to be what I should be looking into. Flashing with Rufus I'm familiar enough with, so that I can do. The one thing I don't have is an out of the way place to put it 🫤 without any drives it didn't make any noise, but I imagine that all comes from the drives doing their thing.

    Jump

  • Thanks for the encouragement! To be honest, while it was a good place to start from its hand holding, I don't love synology for how walled garden it is. I'll definitely take a look at TrueNAS and see what that's like.

  • Same, I just switched over to them and have had a good experience with it.

  • It's gotten so much better since 2008. Ubuntu is good for servers, but probably not what you're looking for on a desktop. And you really don't need to have a coding background to use it, though it also depends on your use case.
