Were megacorp CEOs/biggest owners invited too?

Atm it’s running Proxmox, but I’ll go bare metal with a fresh install of Hannah Montana Linux, I want to do things proper this time!

Yeah, it’s not a hero story, no.

I totally agree - and depending on your needs & budget, slightly older server-grade equipment idle power usage is much higher compared to consumer stuff (servers didn’t really know how to idle until “recently”). And also if you don’t host a tone of different things for different users (ie you don’t need all the pcie lanes) you get so much faster CPUs for the same monies.

The only server-grade things you need are ofc disk drives that are gonna do server stuff.

And a good PSU (but a nice Seasonic is almost server-grade anyways). When ppl talk about power usage they tend to forget PSUs (they check their PC usage with a shitty PSU that itself can’t idle low & maybe doesn’t even get to 90% at peak loads).

… 100W? Isn’t that like a rally bygone era? CPUs of the past decade can idle at next to nothing (like, there isn’t much difference between an idling i7/i9 and a Pentium from the same era/family).

Or are we taking about arm? (Sry, I don’t know much about them.)

This is my rig, I already bought 20 30TB disks, how do I proceed?

(Bookmarked for when I have the mental capacity to …)

Do y’all also document backup/restore procedures?
How often do you test it?
