Good Point, idrac has issues on this server, I’ll take another crack at it and see if I can get it going.

I tried with powerstat and powertop but no dice

about 5TB of the 7 I have available are in use. I was planning on expanding to 12 to allow for growth.

I could just upgrade to bigger drives (1 TBs currently) but it feels cheaper to go with DAS

Good point. I actually have a watt meter coming in the mail tomorrow. Will measure the idle consumption of the r430 and report back. This thing sits mostly at under 10% except when running backups or the machine learning algos for nextcloud image recognition.

I’ve considered it, but decent NUCs are much pricier than old discarded hardware.

I have a good source thru my job for tons of CTO hardware, these R230’s cost me about 50 bucks a pop, and considering they sip power they’re a really hard to pass deal, it sounds like a really good way to learn proxmox HA, load balancing and ceph minus the storage capacity

I guess I could still host a 10G nas on an r230 with a DAS, but my questions remain.

WOW! That’s one hell of a deal. You’ve convinced me XD I’m installing pangolin Right now. The hell with Cloudflare and their evil ways

I’m currently using CF Tunnels and I’m thinking about this (I have pretty good offers for VPS as low as $4 a month)

Can you comment on bandwidth expectations? My concern is that I also tunnel Nextcloud and my offsite backups and I may exceed the VPS bandwidth restrictions.

BTW I’m testing Pangolin which looks AWESOME so far.

Highly recommend Tripplite

I got me one of these used (with good batteries) for $100

They have an external connector in the back for adding external batteries and the menu to do so is analog.

I added a golf cart battery to mine tripping the capacity for very very cheap.

Look in the used market.

If you want something better, Eaton is the go to, look for used deals in marketplace / craigslist. I found someone selling Used industrial Eaton UPSs with extended batteries for 150$ the set

You are partly right.

In short: The muscles use ATP to make energy, that reaction takes oxygen. When you’re not able to provide enough oxygen for the amount of atp that you want to convert into enrgy your body starts producing lactic acid which ends up in your stomac and you puke.

This is the same thing that happens when you run so much or so fast that you vomit. It means that you are pushing your muscles harder than your lungs can keep up with.
