my main PC hosts nothing, everything else is always on
sometimes I remember I’m self hosting things
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.
making it difficult to use your product seems like a bad business decision tbh
check that you have at least cat6 cables everywhere and that they are not connected into a slow ethernet port somewhere. MY old wifi router only had a single 10mb/s connection for some reason and it took me a solid minute to figure that shit out. if everything is going through wifi something more complicated is happening and I would first check you’re channel isn’t overlapping any neighbors signals and that you’re not trying to put 5g through any walls.
and you always hear good things about them. if it was a stand alone device it could easily be someones first apple product.
Don’t you need an apple device to even sign into it though?
The Apple ecosystem is pretty bad when you only have the 1 thing.

THEY CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
except you don’t know what you’re buying.
the fact it’s typically cheaper than buying the naked drive should tell you everything you need to know about the risk involved.
just a dice you don’t need to roll
my longest running drive is a WD. probably the same vintage with less uptime.
shucked
oh you are dancing with the devil. not sure there’s a way to check actual SMART data in Synology’s OS but I would be very interested in those logs.
I’ve found over the years that the second I think about backing up the drive is about to fail.
I would update to a 4bay and invest in actual NAS drives. (and I will personally be looking for 10gbe lan but this isn’t homelab)
RAID 0 naturally
welcome to the fediverse. Boost = retweet ;)
I think you just solved the housing crisis because this lives rent free in my head
The studio cash grab explosion of streaming services is simply too inconvenient.
Subbing to everything you want to watch would still be cheaper than renting it all before streaming.
But Netflix has changed the value proposition and the stuidios are slitting their own throats trying to catch up.
