Forever in the closet. This time, though, I only am going to have an account where I am myself.

  • No shit. I have five Lenovo Tiny M720q with the i5-9500t and 32 gigs of RAM each in a XCP-NG cluster, another one as standalone Plex server (QuickSync kept on failing under XCP) plus an old Shuttle SFF with an old (2015, I think) Atom acting as standalone.

    Power consumption is pretty much minimal, with NVMEs I don’t have to worry about slow data rates, nor sudden disk failures.

    Most of all, all of these were cheap and easy to find. My two 8 bays Synology cost me way more, without even taking the disks in consideration.

    Why would I even go for a RasPi or equivalent?











  • Aaah, the rockstar developer. The asshole feared by all sysadmin department. The fucker that pushes untested shit to production on Friday afternoon before disappearing off the grid. The son of a bitch that, while everyone is scrambling to restore production to be stable in between Friday and Saturday morning, is enjoying is life? The one that everyone knows would have been better if his mother swallowed that night, that on Monday morning is surprised and enraged that all his accounts are locked out?

    That rockstar developer?

    Sorry, got some issues with that living stain of shit.
