I made a blog post about an old IBM server!
  • True, I hope i will be able to do that over the years!

  • Not really ahah!

    Probably as powerfull as your Raspberry 4 tho.

  • I'm sure you'll find some weird nerd like me to get it off your hands

  • I made a blog post about an old IBM server!
  • Oh... you just remind me that I forgot to put thermal paste back on it.. (the server is actually on right know)

    And it's not for 24/7 use, no worries for my bill ahah!

  • I made a blog post about an old IBM server!
  • I'm glad I still have a CD-DVD burner on my laptop for this ahah!

    I still can't figure out if there is a web interface for "managing" this thing, I know IPMI work, but I'm starting to test things around those ASM ports in the back... Do you have any insight on that by any chance ?

  • I did get Debian 12 installed on this thing, hard drive configuration was awful (you need a CD for that!!)

    IBM xSeries eServer 346 #1 – First Look
  • Isn't it exactly what I did with the server though ? :)

    Well, not in a real museum but yeah ahah

  • IBM xSeries eServer 346 #1 – First Look
  • Indeed it wasn't clear that I made the article, sorry

    But still, don't tell everyone to throw stuff away, tell them that they can still learn a lot while trying to make it run, but that it is not for 24/7 use only, except if power is really cheap (don't assume everyone is paying high price for power)

  • IBM xSeries eServer 346 #1 – First Look
  • It is 64bits, I got Debian 12 on it. Don't assume when you don't know!

    For the power, of course it's consuming like hell, but it's just for fun that I take a look at old hardware! Just enjoy some hardware pictures!

  • IBM xSeries eServer 346 #1 – First Look
  • Please, first, start by reading the article.... Stop wanting to throw everything in the bin, old hardware are still relevant to learn how the world was made of in the past. Would you say to an archaeologist to throw the 2000+ years old pan he found because he can get a new one for cheap online ?

  • I get irritated when I check out a community and there is no content on it.
  • Be the change you wanna see! But yes I feel you man. I created a small app to post content from reddit to a community (manually) to populate some of my community a bit while waiting for other users on Lemmy.

  • Where I can make my noob questions about selfhosting?
  • we all started somewhere, don't be afraid to post questions in !selfhosted@lemmy.world or maybe in !linuxquestions@lemmy.world (if it's linux-related)

    Some nice people will help you for sure!

  • I got an old Cisco AP and I looked inside!
  • Why not, old hardware can ne really cool you know! It's not for running 24/7 of course, just to sée what once was a cool and expensive product

  • I got an old Cisco AP and I looked inside!
  • Ooo, that'd be fun, and scary, I never done such a thing, maybe I could look at this some day !

  • I got an old Cisco AP and I looked inside!
  • Of course and I tried to search it, didn't find the download on the Cisco website sadly, nor the md5sum for this specific file, I found some other sums tho.

    Cisco has a tendancy to remove download or block them behing an account with a licence...

  • I got an old Cisco AP and I looked inside!
  • Me too! but now it has this weird "retro" feel when you stumble upon something powered by a PowerPC processor

    Electricians of fediverse, should I have my selfhosting box grounded?
  • Other question for anyone listening here: How can we check if an outlet is correctly grounded ? I live in a faily new appartment with good outlets, but maybe I should make sure they are OK ?

  • Gitlab CI/CD : How to update flatpak (flathub) when a new release is created

    Hello everyone !

    I have a quite complicated question/setup. I have my software on a Gitlab repo, and I'm publishing the software on flathub. everytime I do a release on Gitlab, I need to also update the flathub repo with the commit and the release tag, and I'm thinking this could be automated with Gitlab CI/CD.

    Exemple repo :

    • Gitlab : https://gitlab.com/Krafting/playlifin-gtk
    • Flathub Github : https://github.com/flathub/net.krafting.Playlifin/

    When modifying the Flathub repo, I need to create a PR with my modifications and wait for the build process to complete. Then, I can merge the request.

    Do you have any idea how can I automate the flathub part everytime I create a new release on Gitlab ?

    My explaination might be a bit blurry, if that's the case, please feel free to ask for clarification.

    Thank you for your time and answers!

    RAID Card temperature

    Hello everyone!

    I have a small question for you guys. I currently have a server with a P420 PCIe RAID Card on it, the card itself gets really hot (at around 80-85C, even with an added fan on the heatsink. It is a DL380 G8e server with 10x8TB in a Hardware RAID 5 array.

    My question is this: I know that I can put this card into IT mode (drive passthrough to the OS) but would this mean the card temperature would get lower ? I guess yes, but I want to know your experience !

    Thank you !

    Here is what 6 decommissioned servers looks like. My Jellyfin will be very happy

    6 servers were decomissioned, Iwas able to only get the disks, RAM, CPUs and Network Card.

    The total of this is : 88 x 8TB SAS disks 44 x 16GB RAM sticks (half 2133, half 2400) 6 x v3 Xeon e3 2630 6 x v4 Xeon e5 2640 3 x 10 GB PCIe dual port cards 12 x 1U heatsink

    I'm really lucky to have all of these, even if I don't have a use for all of that for now (except some of the disks)

    EDIT: Forgot to mention: All of this for free, I work in a datacenter!
