my main PC hosts nothing, everything else is always on

sometimes I remember I’m self hosting things

my scsi controller needs to be entered during boot to manage raid. it also has an external battery that needed replacing (which cost more new than just buying a new card … with the exact same battery) so if you’re not in verbose boot mode figure that out and see if the controller is telling you which function key it needs.

figuring out this old stuff is most of the fun in running it, I would sell it as scrap before actually hosting anything on it.

I have a HP Proliant DL380G7, basically the last server with a front side bus, and all the comments about it where about power per watt.

and they’re not wrong.

I just don’t think this is the community for old servers like this, self hosting is very much a practical consideration and the money spent on electricity running anything useful on these old things is better spent on a raspberry pi or stand alone NAS or something.

probably life or execution

How many diverse representational check boxes are drug out on the street and shot so they can sell their uninteresting dross in China?

They don’t have values they have a marketing strategy; and it’s because of that marketing strategy that those check boxes are totally 1 dimensional, boring, and replaceable.

Actual diversity doesn’t look or feel like a personal attack.
Go watch She-ra and tell me the gay dads aren’t integral to Bow’s character and try to tell me that isn’t the exception to the vast majority of cardboard cutouts whose ONLY character trait is a single DEI check box.

Raid is backup right?

Someone did

I assume you’re not transcoding anything.

looks like they’re more than a Pi where I am anyway though.

got me a Dell optiplex mini 9020 i7 for less than my Pi

it’s way up there with using ‘cringe’ unironically

you haven’t seen the state of my server have you
