Bump. No one on /g/ self hosts anymore?

holy shit it's a real book

i turned off my server after a month after seeing the electricity bill
t. state with 0.27usd/kwh

>seedbox

just fucking pay for one you child that is the shittiest thing you can do to try and look cool

>>56874271
I self host but there's nothing special about it.
I just have transmission, plex and that's about it.

>>56873024
Why would you run a seedbox on your home connection? Isn't the idea of a seedbox that you can benefit from awesome transfer speeds from other seedboxes in the data center and that it gives you some kind of plausible deniability in case you get fucked by the content industry.

mfw free electricity in student corridor room

>>56874400
who gives a shit about free energy if you dont control the firewall?

stay in school

>>56874420
Each room has its own ISP contract. There is no firewall.

I'm guessing you dropped out after grade school.

>paying for something I could make in an hour

Why would I do this when I don't have
data caps and it's only like $3 extra electricity? I only seed private trackers so who cares.

I have rutorrent setup on my seedbox.

>>56874444
that is not how a dorm works, unless you consider renting apartments controlled by the school 'dorms'

next you will try to make some excuse about not being american and therefore you were just pretending to be stupid

>>56874457
>who cares
Well I don't since you seem to be retarded. I do hope you enjoy your 10 trillion dollar debt if you are the unlucky one the content industry goes after.

>>56874571
wow you are retarded

>>56874551
I'm renting the dorm. It's not free.
It's university, dude, not high-school.

>next you will try to make some excuse about not being american
Not american.

>>56874589
Prove it. What incentive does a school have to require students make their own deals with an ISP and run cabling through their building?

>>56874457
something as fucking trivial as that does not require its own fucking thread.

come back when you have something to discuss, you are on the same tier as the kids who plug a laptop hard drive into the usb port of a raspberry pi and then try to talk about how cool your server is

>lel let me just tell the entire world I'm sharing this illegal copied movie with a few hundred thousand others
>I'm behind a premium private tracker I donated money to so I'm perfectly safe and didn't just give up my personal details to some sketchy motherfucking Russian
I wonder what could go wrong

>>56874669
Hahaha
They don't require us to do it. The building I'm living in isn't owned or controlled by the school.

The university is the university, they don't have any relationship with dorms or stuff like that.

I'm not living on campus. It's just an area where lots of students live.

Are you retarded? This isn't it's own thread. This is a general. kys

>>56874711
>The building I'm living in isn't owned or controlled by the school.
So, it's not a dorm, then.

>>56874677
Who gives their personal details to a private tracker lol

>>56874732
Nah, I guess not. Sorry for the confusion. English isn't my native language.

>>56874727
sorry, i should have said start a thread if you actually have something to contribute, because OPs post sure as shit isnt worth it.

yeah that fucking blows, especially if you live in a tiered energy area.

i pay a flat $0.08/kwh

my entire setup runs at around 270-300 with my main dl380 g6 pulling most of it

>implying a tracker can be private
Enjoy fucking your life up because you were just too young and stupid to understand what risks you actually are exposing yourself for. It's like not using the seat belts in your car because you haven't been in a car accident so far in your life.

What are you using your servers for ?

I was thinking of using one for backups because right now i just manually c/p onto flash drives and whatnot. But it doesn't seem like a very useful server.
I have a rpi laying around i could do it just for fun i guess.

>>56874941
yeah but since i have physical access i literally never check it other than maybe once a month to look at power. my ups give me total consumption

i am still looking for one of the HP raid keys though since mine is expired so if i ever want to modify my raid 6 settings i am stuck

>>56874946
>>>/reddit/

Dell PE T620 (2x 2660 / 192GB / 4x 500GB SSD / 12x 3TB)

2x HP DL380 G6 (2x 5660 / 72GB / 8x 300GB)

The T620 runs a couple things in productions (AD, Exchange, Lync, OMV) but mostly Server 2012 / 2016 automation testing.

The HP's are ESXi modified to support MacOS, and runs a combination of Linux and OSX clients, for testing with Windows group policy.

The T620 is on 24x7, the HP's are usually off.

>>56874969
I could never find one of those, but decided it wasn't worth having anyway. iLO 4 is pretty nice, though.

>>56875037
i got a stellar deal on mine, almost wished i bought 2 since the guy had at least 4 of them

2x6 core, 72gigs, 8x300 sas

currently has about 30 vms on it for my lab and since most of them dont see load unless i am testing things the power consumption is low and the thing is quiet as fuck especially compared to my switch

Damn, this isn't what I expected from >>>/g/.
Thought people were gonna be trying to one-up
each-other on how overkill their home server setups are.

You're welcome.

Most of us just roll with a VPS for git, mail, DNS etc since it has a static IP so you can setup mx records and what not. I have a homebuilt router for firewall, NAT and VPN. Nothing exciting just cheaper and way better than commercial solutions. Don't really see why one would need a home hosted server since the "server" applications in this thread would run on a raspi.

>>56875164
They're good for storage (RAID and more drive bays) and are generally designed for higher uptime and MTBF than a standard desktop.

>>56875155
what about an hp raid key anon :3

>>56875201
Sorry Anon, I don't have one. We run RAID 10 for OS volumes, and SAN for everything else.

>>56875182
What do you even store? I found that just buying netflix, hbo and other streaming services is effortless and legal for media. For music I just store it in one drive. I got 1 TB for free. I even rent movies digitally. It just works. When I data hoarded I don't think I ever rewatched or watched something if I didn't watch it within a day or two from downloading.

>>56875228
I store disk images of three laptops, four phones, and two tablets along with my music, video, and photo library.

>>56875259
Fuck disk backups. I've done so many clonezilla images I never used when actually needed. I guess onedrive just fits my needs nowadays.

The only thing I can think of is that Windows 10 thinks your network isn't private and is blocking it.

>>56875765
When you don't leave in Portugal master race where P2P movie/series sharing is legal

>>56875776
Also if you do get it working enable the overlay and make sure hardware decoding is working, might need to delete the libva libraries in ~/.steam and make sure you have system intel libva libraries installed.

Otherwise it uses a ton of CPU to decode and has shit latency.

>>56875776
>>56875835
Just actually looked into it, disabling firewalld on the linix rig then restarting steam makes it see my other rig so it's obviously a configuration issue with firewalld

Might try actually streaming it later, but might not

OP, if you haven't already invested (wasted) years caring for a plex server at home, the latest version can stream from your Amazon storage. If you want to not host drives 24/7 at home, I mean. Just throwing it out there, because it's a new feature.

I don't use it myself, I just sit at home and fap to Lazy town memes

>>56875897
I'm too cheap to buy a monitor and the TV connected to my server has like 200ms delay.

Maybe if some decent WQHD gsync monitors drop below $300 I might consider it.

>>56875788
I mean, that ain't legal, they just don't give a fuck if you do

I have a HP Microserver which I use to store backups, and a Synology NAS for almost everything else.

Generally I struggle to find a good use for a dedicated server besides just storing files in my current setup.

A VM box might be useful to run awful server shit but almost every solution i've tried has had some sort of retarded problem attached to it.

>>56876101
Yeah that's usually the case until they do give a fuck. If they can bribe courts in Sweden to bend the law they certainly can in Portugal.

>>56876321
they "forced" ISP's to "block" P2P sharing sites, but it's laughably easy to get around. And I doubt the big guys will ever come get us, our whole country has the same number of habitants as any major american city, we are just a drop in the ocean

>>56876379
They aren't coming for all of you. Only about 1 to 10 of you initially. You don't really want to be one of those 10. Then we have stage 2 where the copyright trolls that are going to find some exploit with the EU data retention laws to have your personal details handed out. This is happening in Sweden right now. You either pay $500 fine or we take you to court and sue you for 6 gorillion.
