I think the mods deleted under rule 3 which really doesn’t make much sense to me. If you are going to self host and you are starting with equipment recomendations, who better to ask than the people who selfhost. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Dude, I do not pretend understand the inner machinations of a Lemmy mod. Rule 3 seems a blanket coverage for a lot of threads. But, I’m still out here repeating your recommends. Seems like it would be a jammy server for Docker containers at a good price.
Haha. No worries and no hard feelings towards the mods. This little computer has been a great machine for a bunch of things running on it. I installed debian on it and went to town. I’ve even made my Synology NAS a mounted storage on it and switched everything to debian. Thing’s been a champ with no hiccups.
Ever since you posted that, I’ve been tinkering with the notion of replacing one of my Dell T320s with just such a unit. The Dell T320 have been good servers but cost me about $35 USD per month to run, whereas the Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro you recommended would cost me about $3 to $5 to run per month. So, just in power savings alone, would pay for itself in less than a year. The Dell T320s put out a decent amount of heat as well, and aren’t so quiet…which doesn’t bother me as much since I’m clinically deaf. LOL
I want your “clinically deaf” part. There are so many people in this world I’d rather not ever hear their voices. Lmao.
Jokes aside. If your current machines are working fine and the $35 a month isn’t breaking the budget, then why replace them? I’ll only replace this one I have when something major fails in it, like the motherboard just dying or something I can’t fix. I’ve already replaced the fan on it. It was like $7 from eBay or something like that. But I’m that guy who never replaces things unless they absolutely need replacement. So, if you’re not that guy, ignore my dumbass. lol

100%! It’s a pain in the ass when I create music tho. Some frequencies I just can’t hear well enough to make a decision. I lean on AI to assist me in the mastering process.

Good point. The T320s are running fine. In fact I’ve not done anything to them since the beginning of the year except enjoy them. If I were to boil the ox down to the bouillon cube, I’m a little bored, and I’ve learned a lot since I first fired them up years ago, and I feel I could do things a lot better, cleaner, and more efficiently. Mostly bored tho. I like a good project.

How does rule three apply to a comment? lol. I’m not the poster, I’m replying to a post that doesn’t break Rule 3. Oh well. I tried
I think they nuked the whole thread.
Lmao. Why?
