It does seem like that.
(Be sure to thank the kit for its years of service)

And if you triggered any failsafes they would have reset by now.

The mobo button battery can rarely make seem the mobo dead, but usually still does at least something.
(I’m not saying it’s likely, just that it’s the last thing I can think of)

Yeah, good advice.

For my parents house with NAS in their living room I still use WD Red Plus (not Red Pro), so pleasant & quiet (which was basically my only concern). But smol. Can’t find new ones as quiet tho.

How is the noise?
Did you make any model selection based on that?

Oh, wow, this is beautiful!

Own your kinks.
And in turn teach not to kink shame.

Be a voice of change for the kind in this hateful world.

Yes, it’s still easier to manage, transfer stuff, Proxmox Backup server integrates nicely, etc.

No, I didn’t mean with ceph. No quorum needed either. Just add to the group.

ProxMox.

But also, in case if your only data backup plan for them is raid 1 - in such cases I prefer to have only one HDD in the machine & use the other one as a backup on a separate machine, preferably in another location. I find it that the missing 12h (or whatever) of the latest data overshadows the (lower) probability of losing all the data (fire, flood, burglary, weirdly specific accidents, etc).

And ofc you can select what to backup/rsync or not.

Eg Immich, after return to operation the apps will just resync any missing pics from the last backup.

Also with two systems you don’t have to care that much about drive quality. Im now buying Exos 22+TB bcs why not. But when I needed quiet drives I bought Red Plus (not the regular Red ones, nor the Pro ones), they are even quieter than Exos, but smol.

I think this is the way and not an overkill at all!

Its super easy to swarm ProxMox, and you make your inevitable admin job easier. Not to mention backups, first testing & setting up a VM on your server before copying it to their, etc.

Weird desk choice, seems unstable, but I bet such battle station as s whole does wonders for your mental health.

Nice keebler (or beebler with yellow keycaps).

Yeah, Im still hopeful one day I’ll find a set with like an imaginary symbols that I’ll like (but not from like recognisable fiction, common sigils, runes, pictograms, etc).

Its amazing how fast it’s developing, hard to believe it’s only two years old, yet it seems like yesterday at the same time.

Fantastic devs!

I love Buster, make sure to tell him, such a distinguished and professional supervisor.

Yes, Proxmox, on basically any device, expand as heart desires from there (assuming some areas/services are more within your interest or liking - an ez way to speed up the knowledge assimilation).

This is a fair description.

My parents like it, once every so often I update their docker and apps (on the same day). Its not always straight forward (I just mean you have to visit their github), but ez enough.

Unfortunately my next choice (afaik) would be NextCloud … aaaand let’s leave it at that.

Tumble me weed (laptop, not a server)

Moxy does some Proxy

Cluster of the fuck

Boxxy

F8U12

Oh, I had one ‘Shittle’ or something.

Is always on not an option?

I was about to mention them - those keycaps are indeed peak functional design for me, just superb.
