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

  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?

        Proxmox is like esxi, it lets you setup virtual machines. So you can fire up a virtual Linux machine and allocate it like 2gb ram and limit it to 2 cores of the CPU or give it the whole lot depending on what you need to do

        Having them in a cluster let’s them move virtual machines between the physical hardware and have complete copies so if one goes down the next can just start up

        It is a little overkill, I’m probably only using about 20% of its resources but it’s all for a good cause. I’m currently unable to work due to kidney failure but I’m working towards a transplant. If I do get a transplant and can return to work, being able to say “well this is my home setup and the various things I know how to do” looks a lot better than “I sat on my ass for the last 4 years so I’m very rusty”

        This whole setup cost me about $1000aud and uses 65-70w on average

        Thanks :D the frame and all parts are self designed and 3d printed… was a fun project

        The whole thing runs from just 2 power cables with room for another without adding any extra power cables

  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
