I bought a cheap used Dell R710 on Facebook marketplace for like $100 or so, as well as an ups, rack, 10g switch, etc, from various other sellers. All told, I’ve got about $500 in my server setup.

Installed proxmox on it. It’s “free” if you don’t buy a license. You just have to put up with a little nag screen when you open the control panel but it still works 100%, much like winrar.

Works great.

Edit: just realized this is in c/selfhosted AND I misunderstood the post. I’m gonna leave it here just on the off chance it’s useful to somebody, but I acknowledge it’s not what you’re looking for.

And I was making a joke about the D&D spider goddess.

But the word is “loath,” which has an accepted alternate spelling of “loth”. “Lolth” is the Dungeons and Dragons spider goddess, commonly worshiped by Drow.

What? This is system programming, not web development.

I thought for sure this was gonna be “Everywhere at the End of Time”.

If you’re not familiar, it’s a 6 hour audio piece that simulates the descent into dementia ending in the complete loss of oneself and eventually death.

Knowing what it is going in, it’s terrifying to listen to.

The whole thing is on YouTube, posted by the creator without ads, but I’m too lazy to go find it and don’t want the piped link bot to kill me in my sleep.

It’s a point raised in the movie. There were no people in the buildings because the bombings were done at night and the only people that would be in the buildings were a part of the group and knew to be out of them.

Lot of jargon in this that most of us don’t understand. Dnm? Ddg? Can you explain it more clearly for us general admission ticket holders?

Also, thoughts on shrooms?

I had more money for food and started eating out more and got a lot fatter. Now I’m trying to improve my health by not eating like an asshole anymore.

I also got access to more credit and promptly ran up a bunch of debt. Now I pay $1000 a month in minimum payments and I’m working on chipping the balances down, but at least my car is paid off now.

I also bought a house, which turned out to be the best financial decision I ever made. Got locked in at 2.9% before the market lost its damned mind. Now my $145K house is worth $330K. I mean, on paper at least, but it’s a useless number because everything else has gone up too, so selling and buying something else would be a wash price wise, but my interest would go to like 7%. But I only pay $908 a month for my mortgage, escrow, and pmi, so I’m doing better than paying $2K/mo for rent to line somebody else’s pocket.

So a handful of ups and downs. Best advice, control yourself - eat right and don’t spend money just because you have it. Sure, a new couch, etc might only be $100/mo, but all that shit adds up and you’ll end up with a 6 figure salary and a cabinet full of ramen noodles. Ask me how I know.

FWIW, I run proxmox at home, and I friggin love it. It’s really not hard at all.

By dumb luck I bought a house right before the housing market lost its goddamned mind.

$145K for a 3 bedroom on an acre of land. It’s more than doubled in value since I bought it, and I pay less than $1000/mo at 2.9% interest.

I keep getting letters from my mortgage company offering me $80K in a cash-out refinance at like double to triple my current interest rate and I’m like “how about blow me?” I’m riding that interest rate until the wheels fall off.

He sold them.

On the downside, sad to see the kids go, but on the upside, you get a free pair of Nikes every month.

Boot from a usb stick, mount the fs, use the live environment’s chmod command to fix stuff.

In _Babylon Alexandria, docking ships were required to surrender any and all written materials to the library. There, scribes would make a copy of everything that was submitted.

The originals of the documents were stored in the library and the copies were given back to the ships.

First instance of intellectual property piracy?
