    I have a Gen 8 HP microserver. Works great. Mine has a Celeron with 4Gb, running Xpenology, but you can plop in a Xeon and 16Gb, for containers and stuff if you want. Runs great, 4 Proliant caddies, cold plug, an extra SATA connector for a CD that can be repurposed for an SSD, a power draw of 25-45w. Very small form factor, Proliant quality and build. Fairly silent, and very small.

    Super happy with it, and it can probaly be found on ebay cheap.




  • I hate Musk and his personal everything, but Like SpaceX. However, when people gush about reusability, they seem to forget the 135 Space Shuttle missions (2 fatal failures , yes.). All done with 5 vehicles. Yes expensive etc, but truly amazing.

    Also, I really don’t find anything SpaceX is doing revolutionary. Impressive? Yes, but it’s essentially incremental engineering, made possible by ginormous funding, including NASA money, and a private company doing things that NASA can-t politically afford.

    Imagine NASA crashing 4 Shuttles before getting landing right. There’d be no NASA by now.
