I can proxy for you.

They don’t charge me tax and only $15 shipping. Then shipping within the EU is 15 euros max

I have 2 x 20tb mirrored for hot storage

2 pools x 3 x 20tb in Z1 for warm backup.

And I have 2 x 14tb for cold storage

2 x 18tb at a remote location

All are refurbished drives

I’m running 160tb of refurbished Exos right now.

I throughout the years

2 x 10tb

2 x 14tb

3 x 16tb

12 x 18tb

8 x 20tb

I’ve only had 2 x 16tb fail within 500 hours. All other disks have 7k+ hours and are running fine.

As long as you manage your backups properly, you won’t need to worry.

Bought mine through server part deals. Their 2 year warranty is so painless. Shoot them the SN and smart data and you just swap disks.

If they don’t have the disk they just refund you completely.

I have only a few services. I could probably downscale my server.

• AdGuard DNS

• Tailscale and Zerotier

• Open Media Vault

• Jellyfin

• Uptime Kuma

• Graphana / Prometheus

• Torrent/seed box

All on Proxmox and mirrored ZFS 2 x 20TB

For backups I use FolderSync and the default backup for windows. Super lazy, but I don’t want to be the IT support of the family.

You can try out Headscale. The self hosted/open source version of it.

I use enterprise drives because they’re cheaper and more reliable.

Got some 4TB enterprise NVMe for 150 each. They only had 3TB written, basically brand new.

You can try DoH to see if it is working.

It’s port 443 so it won’t get redirected by their filters.

Android uses DoT so maybe that works. Assuming that they don’t block port 853.

Try the encrypted DNS option to see if they are blocking all DNS providers or just certain ones.

You can also setup your own encrypted DNS on a VPS if you’re feeling brave.

Nah, their software is so infuriating to work with. Even when an SSD it falls to load video clips. Often I have to restart unifi protect on the console or even ssh into it to do and apt update/upgrade to get it working again.

Self hosted might be a little better, but I’m not holding my breath.

I’ll read up. Thank you.

No worries. My offer will still stand. I want to help others into this addiction.

Hey, if you would like, I buy from serverpartdeals all the time, I can be a shipping proxy for you since I have access to both US and DE mailing systems.

Bought 160TB from them about a year ago.

I do a DNS redirect on my Mikrotik router.

It’s going to suck when DoH and DoT becomes more prevalent.

Defense in depth.

Anyone who’s certified NET+ or higher knows this.

I didn’t see porkbun here. Is there a reason why?

All of my domains are on porkbun.

They’re both exos.

Lol Germany here checking in 500/50 for 29.99

I think I’m averaging 70-74gb, but most of it is ZFS caching

I have the following and I love it as my setup

Ryzen 5700G

2 x 20tb disks in ZFS mirror

128GB of ram

250gb nvme boot drive

1tb nvme VM drive

1 x 2.5gbe

1 x 1gbe

Runs 6 VMs to include EVE-NG.

Love the hell out of this and never hit any real bottlenecks. Best thing is, I own everything so service providers can’t drop me.

My upload speeds are limited to 50mbps which sucks, but all in all it’s still workable.
