REPO!: The Genetic Opera was a fantastic movie. Paris Hiltons finest role.

I used to buy mine from Art of the Server off eBay. Came ready to go.

I run proxmox on my server, VMs within that. It has an excellent backup service built in (not the proxmox backup server, that’s separate) that you can set a schedule for and it keeps to it. Very customizable, all my backups (tested monthly) have restored fine for the past few years. If you’re looking for something to run your homelab, I highly recommend it.

I’m going to say this now before anything happens: backup, backup, and backup. Make multiple copies, store them different places. Please dear god backup your data, because no one else will.

Long term side effects include:

• Not dying
• Having to pay your taxes
• Being able to experience the joys of food
• Still being broke

A Bill Paxton reference is a good reference.

Be careful with “like new” claims. I’ve had people in the past pull that with me, and the drive had 8 years of time on it.

If possible, serverpartdeals.com has an excellent range of used drives. Stick with the manufacturer refurbished. They come with a good warranty and so far have been rock solid for me (5 year timeframe).

“To have a child is to give fate a hostage.”

I’ve said it before, but I’ll believe a corporation is a person when Texas executes ones.

I have a trillium sync server setup, and connect to my network using a VM. The web interface works well enough for what I need it to do. I really wish there was an app for my phone, though.

Any Bill Paxton reference is a good reference.

I appreciate you.
