A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

What's going on on your servers?

I had to bite the bullet and buy new drives after the old ones filled up. I went for used enterprise SSDs on eBay and eventually found some that had an okay price, even though it's been much more than last time I got some. Combined with Hetzner's hefty price increase some month ago, my hobby has become a bit more expensive again thanks to the ever growing appetite of companies building more data centers to churn more energy.

Anyways, the drives are in, my Ansible playbook to properly encrypt them and make them available in Proxmox worked, so that was smooth (ignoring the part where I disassembled the Lenovo tiny from the rack, open it, SSD out, SSD in, close it and put it back in only to realize I put in the old ssd again).

Any changes in your hardware setups? Did the price increase make you reconsider some design decisions? Let us know!

Woof, good theory. There is (or at least used to be) a section of board next to the CPU that controls the voltage, inherently controlling the internal clock speed and the FSB. As the temps increased, resistances and compositions possibly changed, causing that area to perform out of spec, theoretically damaging the board, CPU and memory.

Just to be safe though, I would not trust that PSU either. Another idea is that the PSU was malfunctioning and sent inconsistent voltages, resulting in a multi-component failure.

If you were a business that could afford to gamble on it I'd say risk it. $50 is a low cost for peace of mind. That PSU can go to local market at $10, with a disclaimer.

The power supply is a bit on the older side it’s a TX650 gold. So it will probably be the next thing my platform sees in terms of update

$60 seems to be the comparable price. I'd buy now before there is a run on PSUs.
