People buy home servers? They don’t just find them lying about and say to themselves “I’ll put Debian on this old piece of shit and see what I can get away with running”?
Mine is currently a not so old pavilion laptop. Runs debian and has 2 drives in it. I need to upgrade it bc it has no storage space but upgrading the m.2 is a motherboard out procedure.

Huh.

I mean, parts gotta come from somewhere.
The real trap of the home server is the ever increasing need for more storage space
I often find computers in trash, a stick of ram here an HDD there. Didn’t spend a euro on my server.
Yeah it’s less like something new and more like “Thank you, ancient me, for deciding it was always a good policy to go heavy on the RAM.”
See, this is why I’m afraid to go to the local recycler. I’d wind up coming home with more potential Linux systems than I know what to do with.
