@anotherandrew, testing my own mbin instance for a while before committing to moving over permanently.

  • A couple things I’ve been working on

    First, I spun up a larger VPS to consolidate two smaller ones. This time I dockerized almost everything. Still a docker newb, but karakeep, redmine, mbin, lemmy (still deciding which I want), davical. Asterisk and postfix/dovecot are probably gonna stay on the vps root. I’m using zfs and compression. Interestingly, the postgres database that everything is using seems to get better compression than the mail spool.

    A couple weeks ago I picked up a NetApp 7 bay disk shelf for $30. It uses fibre channel (AT-FCX) controllers and I’ve never used that before. I grabbed a $7 FC HBA (QLE2560), a 2m cable and an m2-to-PCIe adapter meant for an eGPU. The idea is to see if I can’t get the RK3588 board I’m playing with to see it. I did something similar with a $50 Dell 12 drive bay and my old C6100.
