I'm using 4 refurbished drives in my server. My first one is showing early signs of failing after three years of being my main torrenting/plex drive.

The other three are new (to me) and are an upgrade from the failing one.

I'd say if the prices are decent, and it includes a year warranty, it doesn't sound like a bad deal. Just make sure to back it up.

If you're near a Microcenter, this makes an excellent deal. 12700K bundled with mobo and 16 GB RAM.

I got this bundle and it's been amazing. I use my single machine for all services due to space constraints. The CPU never goes beyond 30%. The downside is it uses DDR4 so you're still on older hardware. Still completely viable for everyday use.

This is not as good a deal but it's available for shipping. RAM isn't included.

That's what I just did with pihole v6 lol.

Updated, internet went down and WebUI bork. Uninstalled, wiped config, reinstalled, restored backup.

I ran a modded server on an i5-4690K for about 5 people and never noticed any hiccups. The CPU was almost always maxed out due to other things (Frigate camera transcoding, Plex streaming, torrenting) and it ran fine.

How many people will be playing and will there be lots of mods?

Sorry - I wasn't clear. I can't seem to join any servers. Some comments mention changing the default server to "hex41.de" so I changed that but I can't connect.

Maybe it's since been taken down or something.

I tried looking into this and I'm having trouble setting it up, although I'm on linux so that might be my doing.

I followed the guide on Darkmatters

I loved Sacred 2! I remember save scumming to preserve my 0 deaths streak. I'd hit the power button on the Xbox before it could save, risking corrupting my character every time.

It's such a treat.

We keep a little bag of decaf beans around just for the occasional night coffee.

Cool article but the Dell monitor they used is way more than necessary. You can reuse an old laptop screen for fairly cheap and add an IR touch panel to it.

You can use Molly, a fork of Signal for android. It offers an alternative for push notifications.

Seconding Lawnchair. Great FOSS launcher.

Depending on family history, eating a lot of small hard foods like peanuts and sunflower seeds may put you at risk for diverticulitis.

You have small pockets of tissue in your large intestine that can allow small, undigested pieces of food to get stuck. If it hangs out there too long, it may harbor bacteria that will grow and then you end up with acute lower abdominal pain that could turn into a life-threatening problem akin to apendicitis.

On top of all the religious stuff being said, he's also cheated on every one of his wives (except maybe his current one)

Most high capacity drives are CMR, if that helps.

Compare this with Backblaze drive stats to get a reliable product:

Drives failures vary by model number more than by manufacturer. Buy seller refurbished drives from serverpartdeals if you don't want the companies to get your money.

I've been using AirVPN for the past few years and don't have any complaints.

It is around $5/mo and offers port forwarding.
