- Comment on Best practice for connecting lots of HDD to motherboards with few SATA ports? 3 days ago:
No, those are terrible.

OP has a budget of $150. I doubt they are going to be running a full suite of self-hosted replacement services right off the bat. The machine in question is perfectly suitable for quite a lot of things.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
What is that infographic from? I would like to do something like that.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
And yeah, I’d second the commenter suggesting you look for a second hand computer somewhere instead of buying HP.
The HPs OP is looking at are secondhand.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
notice the bit about pushing it… say transcoding all the streams etc.
6th gen Intel CPUs support quicksync. This is a non-issue for most self-hosters.
I don’t know what or how it will be used… thus saying should be fine. Everyones mileage varies no talk about network either, far too many variables to consider thus saying it should be fine!
Here are some stats for my particular HP Elite 800 G3 Mini (i7-7700T/32GB RAM) over the last 18 months:
Peak CPU usage is never more than 50%, and the vast majority of memory usage is just cached. Actual memory usage by each VM or LXC is far lower. The IO delays were user error (my NAS was having issues).
- Comment on 5 days ago:
As said it should be fine unless pushing it with something like media files/jellyfin/plex/nextcloud. Nextcloud for example needs few resources but running anything nice would soon crawl.
Not really. The HP Elite 800 G3 and G4 mini make up 2/3 of my Proxmox nodes. The G3 currently hosts the VM that runs my entire media stack.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
Those are great little PCs. I have one myself, along with a G4 version. Buy an i7-7700T off eBay, it’ll drop right in.
- Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 1 week ago:
Proxmox and Docker serve different purposes. There is a little bit of crossover when it comes to containerization, but that’s really the only commonality.
If you want to run multiple services and have a playground to mess around with, Proxmox is what you want. Spin up a VM (or 2, or 3) for Docker, and run your Docker services in those. You still have the ability to dick around with other things in Proxmox without having to worry about fucking up everything else on the physical machine.

Android is open source and look where that got it.
- Comment on Important Notice of Security Incident 1 week ago:
Tailscale is going public, so I don’t really them anymore. I used Cloudflare tunnels for a while, but I strongly dislike being dependent on them for accessing my own network, and I don’t like how they clamped down on “anti-piracy”. There are some legitimate sites I still can’t access (dirtbike parts and whatnot) because Cloudflare straight up blocks access to them.
- Comment on Important Notice of Security Incident 1 week ago:
Because you are hosting the server software on your own hardware. That’s literally self-hosting. Plex provides a way to remotely access your server through their own network as well, which is optional.
- Comment on Managing proxmox, virtual machines, and others 1 week ago:
Podman inside Nixos inside LXC inside Proxmox
y tho
Just run a VM with Podman/Docker and set up
unattended_upgrades. Boom, done. - Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 1 week ago:
I did know when I set it up, but I can’t remember right now. I can easily go check though.
- Comment on Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? 2 weeks ago:
Well, considering it hasn’t existed in years, I think you can imagine the answer to your question 😅
- Comment on running Media Services on NAS or separate server 2 weeks ago:
I run separate systems - OMV-based NAS for storage, and a small Proxmox cluster that runs all of my services.
The NAS provides NFS mounts for any relevant service. Works fine.
- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 2 weeks ago:
I use NFS for linking VMs and Docker containers to my file server. Haven’t tried it for desktop usage, but I imagine it would work similarly.
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 weeks ago:
Jesus christ. So glad I ditched MS. It’s like getting out of a cult - once you see it looking in from the outside, you finally realize how terrible it is.
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 weeks ago:
I switched earlier this year. No ragrets.
- Comment on Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction? 2 weeks ago:
No, just an amateur with an old Nikon D3100 and a couple lenses. Though I have a few family members who are professional wedding and family photogs. Usual equipment for them is a mac of some sort with lots of storage and Adobe Creative cloud (or whatever they call it).
I don’t understand why this is so difficult to comprehend - Pros don’t use gallery-focused applications like Immich or Google Photos as their primary backup solution. This is not a thing that happens. If someone does use that kind of application, then they are the exception and not the rule.
- Comment on We Built It, Then We Freed It: Telemetry Harbor Goes Open Source 2 weeks ago:
Still missing the “h”…
That was the one my keyboard picked with swyping so I just left it…
That’s a terrible method.
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 2 weeks ago:
It’s not great, and heavily restricted, but it for sure exists
That’s kind of the point though. Apple’s file manager portrays a “flat” filesystem, where all of your data is laid out neatly on the table - so to speak - and the actual locations of those directories within the system are buried inside vague and protected locations “for security”. Android file managers embrace a more traditional Unix-like filesystem hierarchy.
- Comment on Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction? 2 weeks ago:
Man, you’re the one who came in and said Immich could be used by professional photographers. Don’t make dumbshit statements and then get pissy when others explain how you’re wrong.
- Comment on Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction? 2 weeks ago:
Backblaze is not even close to the kind of cloud storage as a self-hosted Immich instance or Google Photos.
- Comment on DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I know how capitalism works, unfortunately… I’m just ranting into the void at this point.
- Comment on Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction? 3 weeks ago:
A professional photographer doesn’t use cloud storage to store the GBs of RAW files from their shoots
- Comment on DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature. 3 weeks ago:
But spotify is easy and fast,
So you mean it’s convenient. That’s a valid reason. Evil shit aside, that’s literally why music streaming exploded the way it did.
- Comment on Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction? 3 weeks ago:
You can survive a day trip without access to your photos.

Copying this from Reddit (I still get the daily emails)
You know you can just delete your email from your reddit account, right? I don’t know why you’d want to tie reddit to your email in the first place.
- Comment on Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says 3 weeks ago:
The average car is 12 years old. Car makers start to drop support (making/stocking parts) when the car is about 10 years old. Come back and talk to me about that car when is is 25 years old and tell me how it is.
No need - I have two 46 year-old vehicles: 1980 Honda XR500 motorcycle from 08/79, and a 1980 Mercedes 240D from 12/79. The motorcycle is currently torn apart in the garage, undergoing a full restoration. Believe me, I know aaaaaaall about the frustrations of long-discontinued parts 😂😂
I have a 26 year old truck, the bed has holes, the frame is showing signs of rot - I’m trying to decide if it is worth trying to rebuild the transmission, my mechanic isn’t intersted in part because they are not sure if they can find the parts - they will be more than $1000 in labor in before they know wihch bearing it has and thus can check if it can be had.
Man I feel that so hard with the Mercedes. Poor thing has cancer and I’m not sure if it’s possible to save in its current condition. It’s got damn near half a million miles, but goddamn it drives so, so nice… I think it needs a clutch though. Luckily, since W123 cars are sought-after classics at this point, there are still options, but it’s gonna be a hell of a process if I decide to attempt a restoration. My dad (with help from me and my siblings, friends, and neighbors) somehow managed to save a pretty rusty 1963 VW Beetle almost 20 years ago, was about a 5 year process. That car recently went to a collector… I’m mad about it, but only in the “goddammit I wanted to inherit it” kinda way 😅
