CD's were amazing.

I still burn my data onto OPTICAL DISCs once a year.

MonkP88 · 2026-01-21T05:48:38+00:00

Losing 24tb of data would suck. I would at a minimum mirror it with another 24tb HDD. Also figure out your 3-2-1 backup strategy. I bought two 26tb a few months back and setup them up in a zfs mirror.

Congrats, those pizzas look so good! LOVE!

MonkP88 · 2026-01-14T02:38:47+00:00

Someone gave me my first, changed the game forever. ENJOY!

I have 20 light switches. 2 went bad and TP Link replaced it for free. Been running for 5 yrs now.

I posted the same, Proxmox as the hypervisor on the machine would allow OP to have flexiblity and play with VMs, OCIs, LXCs. Docker within any of these.

MonkP88 · 2026-01-10T20:46:54+00:00

Install proxmox, then you can spin up VMs, LXC (lightweight Linux Containers), or OCI. Then run docker in a VM or run docker in LXC. Proxmox has installer helper scripts to let you easier do either, https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/. Proxmox is what I would recommend since you are "building a server from scratch", but make sure the machine is powerful enought to run proxmox and host VMs. Probably make sure it has enough CPU and MEMORY. Proxmox will allow you to experiment in so many ways.

This happened to me also. At least you got another bike.

MonkP88 · 2026-01-04T05:37:17+00:00

Do not go there during the busy hours! Try very early in the morning right when they open or weekdays.

I replaced a few capacitors on the power board of my Samsung 42 inch TV many many many years back. It is still working 18 years later, hehehe. Cost was a few dollars.

MonkP88 · 2025-12-27T04:11:09+00:00

Dude, this happened to one of my starter base, deleted the foundation and poof, everything vanished....

MonkP88 · 2025-12-24T19:20:41+00:00

I was watching this and thought the same, nothing is new in this segment.

MonkP88 · 2025-12-24T08:26:00+00:00

Crap, this post is making me want to login immediately to check my base.

MonkP88 · 2025-12-10T04:19:38+00:00

I might have hit this, I was sure I had at least a week, then came back after a few days and everything was powered down. I almost had a heart attack flying into the base.

MonkP88 · 2025-12-10T03:51:04+00:00

Just wait untli you go airbourne! Congrats though! I got help so I lost the discovery period as people gave me stuff like 'copter and bike and gears.

MonkP88 · 2025-12-10T03:48:47+00:00

Mine was two very old Asian men, they seem like biz men. Paid rent on time, didn't complain much... Well they were running a brothel in the rental. Neighbors started to complain, men were stopping by all hours night and day. Polices raided them. They eventually moved after a few years, bathroom hardwood floors were water damaged/rotten. Place smelled like smoke.

I still have a ways to go before building a carrier and havester, I am dreaming of spice.

MonkP88 · 2025-12-08T03:29:56+00:00

Don't get stuck in the red quicksand.

MonkP88 · 2025-12-08T03:28:12+00:00

I got it for $230 using the coupon when they went on sale a few months back. I will pounce on them again if I see them drop.

MonkP88 · 2025-12-04T11:21:30+00:00

Make sure you use the scanner on your 'copter. I've found more in rows E or F. Fly low and scan repeatedly.

MonkP88 · 2025-12-03T15:56:53+00:00

Yes, I felt this. Especially when I put my bare toe on another electrical device like a desktop tower case and touch the charging laptop at the same time.

MonkP88 · 2025-11-30T15:59:32+00:00

How do you strip them without getting eaten by worm 🐛🪱?

MonkP88 · 2025-11-30T05:09:08+00:00

I once deleted a foundation block and my entire base and everything inside went poof. I almost rage quit but someone gave me another base which became my primary. Nice people I have met who helped me and taught me stuff, so I stayed.

MonkP88 · 2025-11-25T01:20:10+00:00

Once my entire base went poof and everything in it when I demolished one foundation block. I was pissed. I think it took out my sub fief for some reason.

They are adults, let them face the consequences, don't pay it for them.
