That’s like… a month. Can it take an indefinite break instead?

Yeah… I realized that after I typed out my comment. Especially w/ F1 and all

Red Bull should stick to energy drinks…

You just had to tell us, didn’t you? /s, and that’s good news on the second point

Where is it? Give it to me now

Freak out and force-power-down your PC, and never accidentally open vim again

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) = FOSS Photoshop alternative

Quick note - HGST enterprise drives are great but those fuckers are LOUD. I’ve had one in my PC for a number of years and it’s done great, pretty quick too - but I can hear it across the room.

I’m feeling pretty suasg about this, not gonna lie

Hmm, well that’s good to hear, about the whole Tailscale thing. I was a bit confused on how that’s actually interacting with the internet. I suppose that even though I can access the stuff from anywhere, I do need the account to actually do so.

To your point about SSH keys - could you elaborate a bit more? I am familiar with SSH in that it exists, but past that, the whole key thing is a bit of a black box (which is part of this whole thing… to learn more about it!)

I’m paying for the germs so I’m gonna eat the damn germs

…and 5*4=20, therefore, it’s 20x the total area, or 20x the size

“Transage, transrace, and transabled”c plus MAP… I’m sorry, but there’s a lot going on there… wtf

A “mysterious signal from space” being just the fact that it’s owned by Google

Lemmy instance would be cool - my biggest concern there is the whole issue Lemmy had w/ CP a few months ago where one person posts it & of course, due to how the fediverse works, that gets downloaded onto everyone’s servers. Seems like it could be a problem.

Otherwise - I do have quite a load of experience on the hardware-side of things, and do love me a good setup. It was more of “I know I’ll do things with it, I just don’t know exactly what just yet”, and after years of lusting after something like this, I’ve finally got the capital to pull it off. Plus a handful of really good deals I got, of course.

I got the server crazy cheap & couldn’t pass up the offer. Figured I’d throw some needlessly powerful CPUs in it because why not, lol. Power isn’t actually nearly as bad as I said… looks like it’d cost ~$40/month to run. Which is way more reasonable.

Drives-wise, they’re all SSDs. So more energy-efficient by a long shot, which is nice.

I wish I could run CAT6, but I rent ! But someday, for sure. Internet speed is absolutely going to be my biggest bottleneck here. But Unraid is a great idea. And somehow, I never even thought of hosting my own website… that’s definitely one of the many moves here. Thanks!

Is proxmox essentially the consumer equivalent of Hypervisor/ESXi? I’ve used the latter at work a bunch.

That’s a lot to look into! Thank you much for all of the ideas!

It …wasn’t cheap.
