I’m in the US so I was able to snag a lot of stuff for like $150 usd off eBay. Though my first home server was actually a mini PC which was only like $100 and is super power efficient, only using like 10-15 watts. The biggest downside though of that is that is only has two NVME slots and no SATA, because it’s a mini PC.
- buy a cheap atx case with >= 4 3.5” drive bays
- buy a mini itx mb with like 4/5 SATA ports or however you want. Btw pcie SATA hbas exist. This future proofs drives. You can also get pcie NVMe adapters or buy a MB with NVMe ports. Mini itx for the power efficiency. Beware RAM limits on some MBs.
- throw a 6000 or preferably 9000 series and onwards intel chip in there. Anything before that will have poor efficiency. Good thing about this is the socket FGA1151(??) is supports a wide range of years
- 16 gb ram min. Believe me. You’ll run out.
- for PSU, go with Corsair. Only buy tested ones with all the original cables. I recommend looking at Cybenetic’s PSU efficiency numbers. I have a Corsair PSU.
- put proxmox on it. Containerize everything if you’re low on RAM or CPU.
real question what is that? I mean kinda looks the same as the dnc but I’m assuming it’s for republicans since we’re on lemmy

512·1 year agoRepresentative Mike Lawler, a New York Republican, wrote on X: “This is absurd on its face. The United States has not declared war since 1942 and has conducted over 125 different military actions since that time, including in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Presidents of both parties have relied on Article II authority, as well as AUMFs [Authorizations for Use of Military Force], to conduct targeted strikes and have not been subject to impeachment. In 2011, Barack Obama conducted an 8 month campaign in Libya to topple Gaddafi.”

I’ve been running my Proxmox in suicide raid configuration for a year now and have only procrastinated this far because I can’t fix my TrueNAS replication tasks… and my proxmox machine is over the 1/2 full mark
