my scsi controller needs to be entered during boot to manage raid. it also has an external battery that needed replacing (which cost more new than just buying a new card ... with the exact same battery) so if you're not in verbose boot mode figure that out and see if the controller is telling you which function key it needs.

figuring out this old stuff is most of the fun in running it, I would sell it as scrap before actually hosting anything on it.

I have a HP Proliant DL380G7, basically the last server with a front side bus, and all the comments about it where about power per watt.

and they're not wrong.

I just don't think this is the community for old servers like this, self hosting is very much a practical consideration and the money spent on electricity running anything useful on these old things is better spent on a raspberry pi or stand alone NAS or something.

exactly, it would be trivial to have a whitelist server side and now only ad friendly apps can access the videos. they only still work because it's worth keeping those viewers in the system for the time being.

the problem isn't that it's expensive it's that it requires us to deal with more volume than every other industry combined through history to even start to think about making a difference.

and you'll notice it talks about the US hitting it's climate goals ... rich nations will need to do a lot of heavy lifting for the rest of the world for it to be worthwhile not just hit their own targets then say "Well, Somalia isn't pulling it's weight so we're all just going to die I guess but at least we did our small part"

that's the neat part, we don't even need to assist just get out of the way. and that's going to happen sooner than later.
