Launch dat shit

O&O 👌🏻
(Unless there’s something better, it’s what I use on other ppls computos.)

They leaked all the free HDDs (still hot!) in the AI datacentre near you!

Explain your smolness!

Fish death & murmaider.

They stay with us even so many decades later.
I’m glad I had the privilege of knowing my cats.
Still think & sometimes dream about them.

Thx for sharing, great pics.

I can drive my car, and run & play Doom on another truck driving around?

Well, I use it on all my rigs but it’s not directly what I think you are asking about.

I just use Proxmox (hypervisor) to run vm/lxc which run docker - and I just have backup images of those.

It has pros & cons but it’s not a docker backup, it’s just that by chance it’s ok for the little use I need it.

I would go for one of the other recommended solutions but perhaps consider a Proxmox layer underneath if you wanna a full image backup of the server(s?) itself.

Awww!! <3

No surprise everyone likes you tho.

Didn’t recognise him without you pointing at him :).

Also less illegally smol!!

The vid of it.

They will have WiFi AP.

And this is just me, but I never had to troubleshoot the OS part of the OpenWRT or OPNSense.

My default suggestion is a used consumer PC (same gamer’s non-pre-built if possible bcs of the slightly better parts, but standard office shit works too), swap out the PSU for something top tier (by which I don’t mean super expensive, tho I do look at efficiency tests at low end bcs my serves idle a lot), and ofc storage for something enterprise.

For CPU it depends what you need, but idle power consumption of average desktop CPUs are pretty matched (no sense of getting a Pentium over eg i7), I would say (bcs of market prices & availability) some Intel 10+gen (i7? … but whatever really) or AMD 5000+ (I found a few 59x0 at good p/p value).

Consumer hardware is easier to work with & easier to make the rig silent for your usecase (that’s why I also like Exos & Red Plus drives). If you want additional quiets on top you can get a case with those (dense) foams.

Also crucially all my HDDs (even in early 2000s) have been in these 5.25" cages/adapters with fans (noisy drives give off noise directly & via case vibrations … also in one case I don’t even have them in 5" bays, they are just bolted to the bottom of the case):

(Various designs, I even made them diy 20 years ago, but they are super cheap today - the point being that the HDDs metal doesn’t touch the case, not even via a bolt.)

I prefer less redundancy in one server vs having two of them as copies (maybe have a secondary location) but cram as much as possible in one server bcs I don’t need more (router is a separate box, but out of practical & second-hand-finds reasons).

There is an Xbox One, an N64, a Wii, a PC, a drug fish, a cat tree, and a high poly cat.

But the “The PlayStation (Can Produce Mind-Boggling Effects)” is missing.

No zoom camera.
AI in the drawing app.

It’s an active stylus in this case, I assume the palm rejection works fine.

But as you said, use cases vary.

Another pov/idea perhaps - you can still run proxmox & only one virtual machine (eg standard Debian, no performance loss), but perhaps gain backups/copies if you plan to eventually add a cheap second machine (location?) instead of local redundancy.

Also with proxmox you can copy you virtual machines/containers & experiment easily.

Not even on budget phones.
Battery management is core functionality of any such device.

Still convenient for ppl who hate/don’t use What’sApp. I’m sure Signal works just fine.

… oh, wait, this is Lineage based, like a one-time thing? Eh :(

Public transport ftw
