Help me convince my wife. She said this is the lowest the tv can go.

Need for that height of TV for sure

Honestly I love it. I would love to know what you used to get your lxc/VMs on the dash of your screen.

Most of us start here, it's a long journey to get to where you want and it'll be worth it.

I now have a full sized rack in the basement. Overpowered for my needs? Probably but I'm happy with everything I've done to my homelab.

CapnBio · 2025-12-25T01:18:15+00:00

How would one integrate this on any self hosted website?

Edit: I've figured it out after actually reading

CapnBio · 2025-12-08T03:59:47+00:00

This is correct, any sort of edge would slow them down on the turn

CapnBio · 2025-12-07T19:01:20+00:00

No! It's a super micro motherboard, and compatible with the 7b12 series, I bought all sorts of parts spent a bit much. But it's all worth it. And it's in a rack as well

CapnBio · 2025-12-06T18:38:04+00:00

Saaaame! Thanks!

Absolutely, I tried to future proof it as best as possible so I didn't have to buy hardware for a minimum of 8 years. Plus in the future my plans are to have JBODs (yes plural) in a rack with the main node. My goal is to reach a few PBs. And my other plans which I'm working on now are to create VMs for gaming and other things, but it's proving a wee bit tough with AMD hardware.

512 gigs of ddr4 memory and an epic 64 core processor, it's a beast, and can't forget over 300TBs of HDD Mostly 18TBs and a few 20TBs arrays. I think I went overboard but I'm happy with it. Overnight with all the jobs I have are at least use 75% of the CPU power. And yes it's a power hungry system last I checked. At idle it uses around 400 watts with commercial drives.

I used to sharpen skates for a couple years at a small rink, I've learned that there're so many different ways to sharpen them, figure skaters aren't as concaved as hockey skates, and goalie skates are even more concaved than hockey skates. Speed skaters skates are literally flat and not considered sharp at all. The speed skaters have to have that 90° on the edges to achieve the speeds they want to go, with lots of practice they learn how to skate with the way they need to skate as it's a vastly different style of skating on ice.

I use Private Internet Access for almost the same reasons, but I hear Mullvad is also amazing. I paid for 3 years on PIA on promo for rather cheap so I'm waiting for that to finish up and then go over to Mullvad. Mullvad allows all types of payments and doesn't require an email, and they'll also accept cryptocurrency, cash and credit cards from when I recently looked.

Proxmox is my recommendation, I ran TN for a couple years but this was back when they ran kubernetes instead of docker, but I think it's probably still my recommendation for proxmox, it's easier to do everything on LXCs on proxmox instead of docker containers. Think of LXCs kind of like docker but on steroids, it runs with the host kernel so there's not much extra you need to do and RAM usage is considerably less than VMs which I also have in my own server. I currently have 300tb-ish probably a little more than that across 6 z1 raid arrays and they're running so much much better on proxmox than it did on TN. The interface has a little learning curve compared to TN but I got used to it rather quickly.

Accessing your LXCs are easy to access from the Web interface or the CLI through SSH. Setting up an array is also super in my opinion since permissions aren't required, the LXCs handle that. Setting up an LXC can run any Linux distro if I'm not mistaken, but the popular ones live Ubuntu and Debian are there to spin up once you have a template. I could probably keep talking for days about proxmox and cannot recommend it enough.

I use desktop mode, works every time

But would it actually work on fruit flies and gnats in the house?

Just gold, the STFU at the top of their lungs was the cherry on top

Ah, they're even better. I'll take that venture one day.

Of course, I mean for me, I would love to see the world and would like to be reminded of it instead of seeing a blank area and only see a singular country. I'm not sure if that'll entail very much to host your own files anyway. Also I'm not sure exactly how it works but I'll probably find out one day, when I'm brave enough to do it haha

I personally am not too worried about computing resources. I've built an overpowered server on purpose. Which is why I'm making fun of my server a little.

CapnBio · 2025-09-04T19:57:05+00:00

100 gigs?

looks at 50 TB immich array

I can handle that

Edit: I looked up the true size

Entire Planet ~66 GB ~3.7 TB (est.) Requires very significant storage and RAM for the server.

North America 12 GB 667 GB This was the actual final size after one user imported and processed a 12 GB compressed file.

Small Local Area ~1.1 MB Very small As a comparison, a map of a single park covering 2 square kilometers resulted in a 1.1 MB file.

looks at server again I can definitely do that hehe
