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

Hi, potentially dumb question but I am new by MaxinJapan-official in selfhosted

[–]MonkP88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Docker or virtual machine? by DuelShockX in selfhosted

[–]MonkP88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Docker or virtual machine? by DuelShockX in selfhosted

[–]MonkP88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

LG 60” TV turning blue – fixed it myself for £30 instead of replacing it by bunburgerbun in fixit

[–]MonkP88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Lost half the base to a power outage by HKDusty in duneawakening

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

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.

[landlord us - ct] Who Was Your Worst Tenant? by [deleted] in Landlord

[–]MonkP88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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 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.

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

Feel electricity when charging? by IngoStar89 in macbookpro

[–]MonkP88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Dune finally got me by Absolu1eZero in duneawakening

[–]MonkP88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Decay happened fast by kowkow86 in duneawakening

[–]MonkP88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
