Hello selfhosters, I'm currently in the process of doing recon for hardware upgrades in my homelab (bad timing, I know). It's been some time since I did this the last time and every hardware website I've checked so far, either don't have any mini pcs, nucs or similar, or they have zero information about the hardware.

Are there any good sites for selfhosted hardware? I prefer European sites if there are any, but at this point I'll take anything I can get.

The lead children, a phenomenal Polish series about lead poisioning in children.

I never understood the byod hype. It is complete shit for both personal opsec and IT administration.

Yup, I've gotten much more into the smolweb, niche websites and the dark web, where some parts still feel like a place I can breathe.

Det har varit lite blandat under åren, men oftast funkar semlorna i mataffären helt okej. Det enda jag inte klarar av är när bullen är fylld till bredden med mandelmassa.

I just use a straight up general Linux image, such as debian or arch and then install what I need inside them.

Check out Distrobox.

Correction, learn how to do the same thing differently.

Did not expect that topic to turn into a fucking rabbit hole. Nice read, thank you.

More luck than anything really. It was probably because it had 6 months left and the fact that reading and writing felt slow. Everything else behaved normally and buying a new disk was an educated guess that turned out to be the correct choice.

I had a weird issue with a server SSD.

6 months ahead of scheduled swap, it didn't die, it just started reading and writing really sluggishly, making the whole server behave really weird. Disk smart statistics looked healthy and disk self tests passed with flying colors. Anyway, had to swap it early and do a re-install of the OS.

The rest of my cluster temporarily took over running some pods and only saw downtime for a few pods that were dependent on some disks in the failing server.

I guess the incident has restarted my interest in distributed storage.

 

The issue is a failing disk and I knew it was about to happen. Luckily it's just an OS disk, so I just need a re-install.
