Gauss prime is my 2nd most used frame. All I really need to say is ZOOOOOOOM!

You would likely need to build a NAS with a HBA (Host Bus Adapter). I’m not aware of any low-end NAS systems that support SAS

Here is my install script to set up Ubuntu since it has a bit of extra steps for privileged ports https://gitlab.meme.beer/-/snippets/1

The VM is a 6 thread 16gb

OS is currently Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS (cloud image which is lightweight) just running a very simple docker engine install using the script (plus a few other options since I script the install)

The load averages as of this current moment are 0.12, 0.15, 0.10 so not even a full thread is being used.

I let the container run unmetered on the CPU and memory.

I can provide both the compose and my install script (which is on the GitLab instance) if you are curious.

I run GitLab with docker compose and watchtower, all the updates are automated and have never caused any issues for me.

That being said my setup uses about 7-8gb of ram.

I got a home server with a Nvidia Tesla P4, not the most power or the most vram (8gb), but can be gotten for ~$100usd (it is a headless GPU so no video outputs)

I’m using ollama with dolphin-mistral and recently deepseek coder

My point being I don’t want to update that sort of stuff that can be automated.

Naw I mostly do it for my own personal shit, can’t be fucked to update Plex 3 times a week and so on with other homelab stuff. Everything production is tagged with gitops version managed kubernetes manifests

Edit: should also mention I build quite a bit of the software being deployed

I run latest with watchtower on so much shit

Another company that doesn’t want to waste shitloads of money on an office and force employees to suffer due to poor choices.

Or you can quit so they don’t need to pay severance.

Is this just the new norm for companies?

It wasn’t in a markdown format, also I’m on jerboa

The ) at the end of the url is breaking it and sending me to a 404 page

Proxmox has a full webui with almost every feature you could want, except for some more advanced zfs features

GitLab CE self hosted

I’ve been buying Water Panther refurbished drives.

Both Arsenal (had them for a while) and SaveGreen (they just released recently) and have any had a good experience with them for how cheap they are with warranty.

Only filed 1 RMA, and the turnaround was fairly quick.

They are also Seagate drives, and the SaveGreens have different firmware

Took them long enough, their game died and I thought their entire company did as well.

Well from looking at steamdb, they have an additional 1500ish negative reviews today.

But it isn’t a meaningful amount to actually catch the attention of the corpo meat suits yet.

I almost exclusively use whoogle
