I mean you aren’t going to host 100tb of porn in that laptop…yet 😘
Don’t even have 256G installed in that thing
People who are proud of their gear post it.
You seldom hear from the folks running a half dozen VMs on a laptop.

That’s probably me. Blame it to working with automation systems that span from the early 90s to present day.

PTSD flashbacks of trying to get CFEngine configured for deploying Windows 2k, Redhat 3 and Solaris 8 lmao.
I used to sell a product that OEMed CFEngine. My condolences.
I want to hear from them because that’s the setup I’m aiming for.
Where are you all discussing your shit so I can eavesdrop and steal ansible playbooks?
it’s the reason people post pictures of their cyber truck which can’t move when it snows while my ford has been plowing out neighbors since '97.
We use containers now btw
I run a cluster of VMs that run kubernetes and manage those VMs with containers that run Terraform and ansible. Along with baremetal RISC-V workflows and ASICs.
A tool is a tool and one should pick what works for them.
Why? Wouldn’t the VMs add extra complexity? Couldn’t you just run the containers on the machine?
Do you have experience with kubernetes or kubectl and DR or ASICs? Not everything should be a container or can do what an ASIC is built/designed for.
My home lab is my windows gaming PC running containers on a Ubuntu VM as a guest os in Hyper-V.
We are all over the shop.I wish I knew how to do that. Can’t get my VMM or Virtual Box running well.
I keep my laptop in a bookbag thanks.
I feel so seen rn
Just because you can afford to lose your weird niche fetish porn doesn’t mean I can afford to lose my calendar and contacts
Who says it’s overkill?
That said I literally started selfhosting on a Thinkpad W520. With the full 32 gigs of ram it ran ESXI great. Plus you can’t beat a built in UPS.
I was going to buy a mini PC to run along with it when I needed more, but I just opted to take old desktop parts and combine my NAS with everything else.
Doing something scrappy with an old laptop is cool. Hey, built in UPS if the battery still works!
Doing something powerful and reliable with server class hardware is also very cool.
If it is meeting your needs, I’m happy for you.
Sorry to tell you I never had a battery
Some people actually have the services they host get used by other people.
Embracing constraints makes you learn fast. I bet you could teach enterprise sysadmins a few things about performance monitoring and optimization.
Missing a Raspberry PI 4 setup which hosts a print server, an RTP server with two sirveillance webcams and no password, and also seeds a terabyte of torrents over the local flower shop’s unencrypted WiFi.
Wow, that was a journey… :)
I also host my stuff on oscilloscopes.
That pic looks very much like the corner of a memory validation lab I worked in at one point. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if someone who’s really into server hardware had a home setup like that.
I have setup like that because i do a lot of repairs and I’ve yet to acquire minipc for server purposes, plan to buy n100 fanless one, for now i have rented vps for 2 years for selfhosting purposes
Best I can do is Samsung galaxy A71 with lineage os.
Let’s be real though, What’s someone doing with three oscilloscopes
Sometimes one or two just don’t have enough channels. The bottom one doesn’t look like a scope though. It may be a spectrum analyzer, but it’s hard to see.
An experiment because someone once thought “you know what would be better than two oscilloscopes?”
Mad scientist shit.
Man crazy fun is to be had with sillyscopes
Build your own breadboard with ICs and you can play doom on it.
Well kind of. But dude, you can get all sort of crazy ass signal information from your circuits with em. Like watching SPI devices talk to each other is wild.
Viewing multiple signals, signal generation, digital signal analysis.
You may be able to do most of that with the newer one on the top of the stack; but it’s nice to have backups/spares to use or just to put things on separate screens.
I guess I’m somewhere in between with a bunch of RasPis xD
It even has an integrated UPS.
I never received the battery
the united parcel service would like to chat with you! [CLICK HERE] to accept
Yeah, right, like UPS would be here this quickly (ba dum tss)
How are you going to know the internet is working with thet few blinking LEDs?
I like my n100 mini and usb drives. A full fat server has little WAF when the selling point is an LLM. The n100 handles all our needs sadly.
A dozen or so LXCs. A dozen or so docker containers. A couple VMs, including a Mint VM to turn my android tablet into a desktop. They were sold as a great little home lab, and that they are.
Then again, it’s a year old and I’m only beginning in this hobby.
