Maybe a more reasonable question: Is there anyone here self-hosting on non-shit hardware? 😅

I'm happy with my little N100

Rehabilitated HP z440 workstation, checking in! Popped in a used $20 e5-2620v4 xeon CPU and 64gb of RAM and it sails for my use cases. TrueNAS as the base OS and a TalOS k8's cluster in a VM to handle apps. Old but gold.

10400F running my NAS/Plex server and raspberry pi 5 running PiHole

I have pi-hole on my Mac mini using docker but I stopped using it, it makes some things super laggy to load

[–] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interesting, I haven't had any issues with things loading with mine, maybe it's your adlists causing issues? Try disabling some, there might be false positives in there giving you issues

I tried the default ones

Me using Threadripper 7960X and R5 6600H for my servers: 🤭

You can pry my gen8 hp microserver from my cold, dead hands.

It's not top of the line, but my Ryzen 1700 is way overkill for my NAS. I'll probably add a build server, not because I need it, but because I can.

It's getting up there in years but I'm running a Dell T5610 with 128GB RAM. Once I start my new job I might upgrade cause it's having issues running my MC server.
