- Comment on Any non-tech-background self-hosters? 2 months ago:
Former USAF JAG here (lawyer). I was always a tech geek, undergrad major was in MIS actually, but I didn’t enjoy coding. Always ran Plex on the side, built my own computers, etc.
I didn’t enjoy law (surprise!). I was disillusioned with the criminal justice system too. Quit the law in 2020. Then suddenly had quality time by global happenstance to rethink my life path.
I work in IT now. Restarted at the bottom of a new career but I’m in deep - Proxmox servers, Home Assistant, networks with VLANs, OPNsense router, 22U server rack, etc.
Much happier now.
- Comment on Post your Servernames! 6 months ago:
As a huge fan of Stat Wars before Disney got involved and poisoned it (notable exceptions of Andor, some of the animated shows, etc.), I utilize warship names from the Expanded Universe (now called “Legends”) - what I like to call True Star Wars.
My main server is Chimaera. My backup server that also performs as an NVR is Lusankya. My separate mostly-NAS server away from my server rack is Admonitor.
I have sci-fi themed names for the storage pools too (using TrueNAS SCALE on all three servers):
- Chimaera (Main Server)
-
- Star-Forge (Apps/VM Pool)
-
- Holocron (Storage Pool)
- Lusankya (Backup + NVR Server)
-
- Shadow-Broker (Apps Pool)
-
- Resurrection (Backup Pool)
-
- Spynet (NVR Pool)
- Admonitor (NAS Server)
-
- Mount-Tantiss (Apps Pool)
-
- Datacron (Storage Pool)
