Comment on Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home?

  Yeah I’d stay away from Mac too… but seriously most modern laptops can disable any sleep/hibernation on lid close

  My go to lately is Lenovo tiny, can pick them up super cheap with 6-12 month warranties, throw in some extra ram, a new drive, haven’t had any fail on me yet

    You should think before releasing dangerous information on the internet!

    You can get a 2core 8GB / 240GB for 75€!!

    Uh oh, I think I’ll have to buy one now…

      This is my little setup at the moment. Each is 8500t CPU, 32gb ram, 2tb nvme and 1tb SATA SSD all running in a proxmox cluster

        Not at all overkill? :-D

        Future proofing or is it really used ? I don’t know proxmox, is it some docker launcher thingy?

    Lenovo tiny

    Doesn’t that mean, tiny fans howling all day long?

      Only if you’ve got it cranking all day. I’ve got a couple of Tiny (they’re Micro, which is the same thing) systems that are silent when idle and nearly silent when running less than a load avg of 5. It’s only if I try to spin up a heavy, CPU-bound process that their singular fan spins fast enough to be noticable.

      So don’t use one as a Mining rig, but if you want something that runs x64 workloads at 9-20 watts continuously, they’re pretty good.

        Even running at full speed mine are pretty quiet but I also have 80mm silent low rpm fans blowing air across them too which seems to help

        I also recently went through with fresh thermal paste

  Just set it to “do nothing” when lid is closed. That’s all.

  FWIW, this free app solves for that issue well; I have several clammed Macs running it right now:

  100%, and this is why businesses don’t use laptops as servers… typically 😂.

  just break the screen off. call it a headless sever.
