ok!
HP wishes they had that kind of build quality
I mean... the enterprise zbooks are fairly nice, a used one ran me about $200-$300 on ebay. I'm pretty content with it.
I think usually enterprise stuff does have a good build quality, yeah, at least compared to consumer stuff
I experienced the same with Dell laptops. Consumer grade practically disintegrated and couldn't be repaired; enterprise grade could be dropped or even thrown and likely still be repairable with readily available parts. That was 10 years ago though, so I can only imagine the enshittification current techs are dealing with
Nahh that's really the same deal on their current laptops. Consumer grade is disposable and fragile, meanwhile their corporate sub-brands are tanks

What the esp32 under the ssd doing??
Emotional support?
Also the monitor is PiP of three machines?
Is that SSD taped on?
Like an SSD deserves.
It's not like an HDD, you don't need (9") nails.
Yeah, can't have a magnetic harddisk without the work of Trent Reznor!
To be fair, that is a pretty hate machine
Looks like they are running tmux which has been split into 3 panes, and then running btop in each pane per machine - probably SSH'd into them to run btop (not sure if btop has remote monitoring)
That makes more sense, lol
Wow, those images loaded so slow that it felt like I was back in the dialup days. Must have a lot of requests or something
The esp32 is probably to keep it off the table. I would have just used a piece of styrofoam.
On one hand my instance is hosted on a mostly self-contained box, but it does have a GPU hanging out the back
Thanks, I always wondered how other people solved this exact problem.
Now I know.
Poorly.
Carry on.
There's a correct way to solve the problem. You can get a GPU dock for like $100-300. Or you can get a long PCIE riser for like $20, and hook up an unused PSU and jump the start pins on the ATX cable with a paperclip. There's a correct way to use multiple psus too, but I had a paperclip and didn't have a jumper cable. Anyways it's stable enough that uptime is at a year and it hasn't started a fire yet.

Is the integrated graphics card broken or are you running something that needs more GPU? Graphics or AI?
No integrated graphics. The server has a pair of old E5-2695 v4 CPUs and I picked up an 3060 to run some local AI but it didn't fit in the 2u chasis even though I had a spare PCI-E slot. Absolutely would not recommend a single part of this setup.
Quite a few desktop CPUs dont have integrated graphics
I really like the jury-rigged, DIY nature of the Fediverse. It reminds me of the old times, when the internet was smaller but had more heart.
Absolutely. I wish I had the time and knowhow to take on lemm.ee when they were shutting down.
Lovely. If it works, it works!
Network security: max
Physical security: the front door and hope
looks hardened af
Is that the MacBook Air that fits in a folder I have been hearing about?
Looks slightly worse than the server that hosts my instance, with an Intel i7-5960X from 2015.
OS?
Ubuntu Server 24.04.
This is the server version of wearing a barrel
Is covering it with paper used to start a fire?
Only if you post a lot
Did not thought about that, OP basically gave his community the ability to decide if it wants to burn down the OP's house.
Framework laptop?
Yeah this is the new Framework. They had to cut some corners due to the price increases
This makes my NAS made up of a loose RPi and two USB HDDs thrown on the floor look like a proper setup.
Needs more blahaj
Nice setup 😁
I might get into self-hosting, with some of the PCs people dumped onto me.
snac, my beloved. I used to run it but sadly I don't really have a use for it. It's amazing how resource-efficient it is though!
I don't see a problem?
I gotta self-host me a Snac
But did it crash?
Edit: probably not cool to ask attm.
No, but it doesn't seem too hard to do.
