Also, todays pupdate... This is Poppet, and she had a 12th birthday. This meant she got to wear the special birthday hat, and got to eat cupcakes.

Also everyone else got cupcakes too cause that's how it works, but only she got to wear the hat.

I bought a 45RU rack and a Dell 730xd server.

Next purchase is a MD3460 storage array.

I have no prior IT experience.

Gotta start somewhere, though possibly I should have tried baby steps first.

Starting off big. What is your OS of choice to get started?

[–] trk@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Proxmox to run a VM hosting Nextcloud for work, and another VM hosting Plex for friends and family.

Currently both bare metal machines and both out of space, and old enough to need replacing anyway.

Hahaha diving right in!! What kinda capacity storage you wanna aim for first up and what kinda config?

[–] trk@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have my eye on a 120TB array 🫣

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's a decent amount of Linux iso storage!! Nice

I'm at about 35TB so far... 25 on Plex, and 10 on Nextcloud.

Somewhere near 100 will give some good headroom to grow in to.

Side note: where Brisbot at? We're missing a day
