Time to repurpose all of my random mixed capacity HDDs in a bag somewhere, I guess.
Needshould*Ram and HDD prices: 📈
Me: 😭
I run, my own:
- Mbin server
- Matrix server
- Nextcloud server
- GitLab server and Gitea server
- Speedtest server
- PlantUML server
- Wekan server
- BCH Explorer
- Grafana
- Mumble server
- Dozens of websites
- Proxmox instance that hosted its all, at home
Edit: ow… And you should too!
Why GitLab and Gitea?
I run gitea on a different kind of internet…
So they can push and pull at the same time, silly!
Duh

Jellyfin is great. My latest addition to my media ecosystem was audiobookshelf which is really nice as well if you like to listen to ebooks.
Jellyfin and Immich jave stayed as mainstays after like 2 dozen projects I’ve tried on. That and a Samba share.
Is that one machine?
Yes just one homelab server.
Actually even its on 1 Linux VM (but that doesn’t mean you should also use a single VM). Anyways tldr; Yes.
Thanks doc
Yeah but I cannot find any HDDs
I didn’t realize HDDs are taking a hit now… I’m moving overseas and opted to move my sever with me instead of rebuilding since ram alone is close to 1k now. I didn’t price HDDs at the time cause they are only 4 years old… Sure hope they hold on for another few years…
I am SO pissed off about this AI hardware grab causing global shortages, im about to revert to using fucking tape drives for storage and core rope memory as RAM.
Its by design, I swear. They don’t have anywhere to run any of this gear, its all piling up somewhere.
Either that or it doesn’t exist and what we’re seeing is price gouging based on hypothetical demand based off of “letters of intent” that aren’t actually worth the paper they’re written on.
I think its the latter.
It’s the components that make up these things that’s being bought to make data center hardware. They never make it to the consumer product factory.
Uhhuh so they’re tooling up to make devices for a company that wont exist soon for datacenters that have no power.
All that shit is going in the landfill and they will be desperately repackaging HBM into consumer products. Bet.
