I too want to waste my money on stupid shit I don't need!

I'm about to use an Orange Pi 2 as a home server.
Is it good Arch to have a little server 24/7?
Replace the fans with normal fans and resistor mod them for low rpm

Ugh but these ones are hot pluggable and I really dont want to fuck around with the physical side of the server too much.

Can someone please explain how I can setup my network so that my router has 2 antennas: 1 at the base, and another extended about 30 feet away.
Any recommendation for routers that have this capability? I would also like dd-wrt/tomato support and gigabit capability, thanks.
buy a not shit tier router. have a look on the ddwrt page, and use a usb wireless adapter with a long extension cord.
So guys... I have bought a IBM Serveraid M1015 for my Windows 2012 Server. But since I'm still using software RAID, I still need to cross flash it to LSI IT mode.
For flashing I've heard it would be easier to just plug it into my gaming computer with UEFI?
Any experiences with that SAS controller?
>>51309699
I have an LSI 9240-8i flashed to IT mode, exact same chipset and the card looks near the same.
You can erase the old firmware from a dos prompt, but you cant write the new IT mode stuff outside of UEFI. so its best to do the whole thing from an UEFI shell.

Pick one.
Guys I have 2 old laptops I want to use as servers but I can't come up with any actual use for them. What do you do with your home servers?
>>51309729
>hurr durr
Pick one.
I'm not using fucking storage spaces, and Drivebender, PoolHD, Drivepool all have CRC checking, load balancing and redundancy settings on folder level.
Also I can just move the whole VM to another system and it will just keep working or I can connect the individual drives at any time to any computer and the files can be read.
So shut up.
>>51309715
Thank you good sir. UEFI it is then.
>>51309840
No worries.
I spent hours trying to get it to write under a dos prompt. It just wouldnt work.
I might have cried. And drank a lot. I blame the asus board just deciding it didnt want to boot into the EFI shell.
On that note: fuck asus
>>51309860
>I might have cried.
Yeah I've heard about people having similar experiences.
>On that note: fuck asus
Oh peachy. So my two choices are Non-EFI Dell Server board or Asus RoG UEFI.
I think I might just wait for my next visit to my parents. There, I have an old Z68 ASRock board.
>>51309921
Mine was a case of it just wouldnt boot into the efi shell. at all. worked fine on my gigabyte board, just not my z77 sabertooth of the time.
If you can manage to get into the efi shell, then you should be golden
>>51309965
kk, thank you.
>>51309840
>folder level
It's not RAID unless it handles block level. So, like I said. Pick one.
>>51310049
>implying there would be any advantage in doing so
Also if I wanted RAID, I wouldn't patch it to LSI IT mode for JBOD.

Arch is really good as a Radius server
