Hi everyone, I’m creating this megathread to help regroup information about Pelosi’s recent visit and the follow-up (currently the PLA is conducting military drills very close to Taiwan)

You’re still totally allowed to make your own threads, this is more for things that do not warrant a thread by themselves.

    Well, they won’t be as powerful as a Xeon system. That is why I have my one intel server. Most of the services I run (I run 26 services), can run on low-power hardware easily (things like Invidious, Homeassistant, Cockpit, Node Red, Jellyfin, etc.). For these, I have SBCs. I currently run 9 Raspberry Pi 4s (8 as webservers, one as a recursive DNS server with Pi-Hole in front of it), 2 Pine H64s (one as my reverse proxy that provides access to the rest of my servers and one as my TV box running Kodi), and a RockPro64 handling more intensive stuff like the Matrix homeserver. My Intel machine is an old Mac Mini which I’ve upgraded the storage (500GB HDD to 1TB SSD) and RAM (4GB to 16GB) on and installed Debian. On that, I run things that require either a lot of power or a lot of storage. For example, my Mac Mini hosts Gitea, Minio (open source Amazon S3 clone), Code Server (Online IDE), Nextcloud, Onlyoffice, and a Minecraft server.

    SBCs are nice because they are cheap and very low power. All my servers connect to a single <$100 UPS and that lasts over an hour. Of course, the downside is that if you have a single service that needs a lot of compute power, you’ll need to use a separate server for that, which is what my Mac Mini is for.

    Edit: By the way, I’ve seen you on Matrix. My username on there is Heisenbug.
