in short its an automatic download hub and media library.

If you can buy many servers I'd recommend investing in a Roomba or similar. Otherwise the innards of the servers will look like something only a furry would love.

Offsite backups for a web app I run. One is Backup for the NAS in the Colo, one is offsite replication for the database cluster. One is a backup application server in case the colo gets hit by a sun flare or some shit. The custom job is the original server that ran the show when it was in my garage, now it's a staging environment for my code deployment.

I'm tempted to get a cheap refurbished server off of eBay but I'm worried about the noise. Is there a particularly cheap quiet server out there or maybe better fans?
>>54344572
Three are dual socket 8-core, they have 64G each. Two are dual socket 12-core with 128G each, and the shitty one at the bottom is a single socket 8 core with 32G.
>>54344670

I have Dell desktop at work. 2 x Xeon E5's (32 threads), 128 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, 2 x 2 TB HDDs in RAID 1. Cost less than $10,000 and doesn't make almost any noise even under high load..

wubthecaptain1 Tor exit [1]. Advertising 90 Mbps bandwidth. I don't know an exact number, but it's probably like 20 TB/month traffic from a home connection.

Elisa doesn't have a problem with that (you running a tor node, that is)?
What speed of a connection do you have to be able to run a tor exit node without hindering your own needs (in regards of internet speed & bandwith?)
>>54347580
damn, it goes for 200+ here and I cant seem to find a used one/old hardware either
Don't have a setup, yet.
Just bought an old Lenovo box, core2duo 8gb ram and a few tb of storage.
Going to have owncloud and transmission, give me more ideas on usage /g
>>54344717
What's the OS?
Decommissioned my ESXi server installation in advance because of the evaluation license. Feels bad man.
On the bright side i gave a purpose to a raspberry pi by putting cups on it. Was slow for a bit but after configuring the printer as RAW the speed went back to normal.
So what have you done/are you going to do today with the servers you got?
And what would be a nice alternative to try and replace esxi with?
>>54347616
> Elisa doesn't have a problem with that (you running a tor node, that is)?
My ISP is AS1759 TeliaSonera Finland Oyj, not AS6667 Elisa Oyj.
Tor relays themselves are not usually an issue, but finding an ISP tolerating Tor exits is more difficult.
TeliaSonera doesn't seem to have an issue with it. I have an agreement with [email protected] about hosting the exit.[1]
> What speed of a connection do you have to be able to run a tor exit node without hindering your own needs (in regards of internet speed & bandwith?)
I currently have a subscription for 100/100 Mbps Ethernet connection (fiber to the building, CAT6 to each apartment). There are fibers in the apartment too, but they're no use because ISPs don't offer any services over them yet.
I pay 9,90 EUR/month for this connection. For 39,90 EUR/month, I could get 1000/100 Mbps but I don't really need it. If and once TeliaSonera upgrades upload speeds to at least 500 Mbps, then I'll take the offer.
You can host a Tor exit on 0.5 Mbps at minimum to contribute to the Tor network. Guard relays need about 2 MB/s (16 Mbps) of bandwidth right now if I recall correctly.

>>54345964 asked for non shit Poe devices. Nothing was said about computers.
But I'm pretty sure the switch and ap run a minimal Linux install.

Correcting myself, with relations you can have 10 Gbps Internet over those fibers via a downstream ISP of TeliaSonera.
However, it's not TeliaSonera per se so I'm not interested due to transit and peering policies of different ISPs.
>>54348594
>DNA's "fiber" is 350/20 with trash latency at €35/m
Kill me.
>>54348887
DNA's 350 Mbps is usually cable not fiber, isn't it?
Reminds me, the 20 km connection between Kiiminki (TeliaSonera) - Oulu (DNA) goes through DNA's network in Helsinki and Lahti before arriving to the destination. +20 ms ping or so after the FICIX exchange at Oulu for the additional route.
I contacted DNA about it, and they claimed I should contact my ISP (TeliaSonera Finland Oyj) about it. At that time, I had subscriptions with both PSOASnet and TeliaSonera. (PSOASnet is downstream of DNA, essentially managed and maintained by DNA today.)
Of course I explained to TeliaSonera how silly it is that they should make a complaint to DNA for an issue that's in DNA's backbone, not in TeliaSonera's backbone. TeliaSonera did make a complaint, gladly.
TeliaSonera returned to me shortly and apologized for "not being able to provide the best possible Internet service, but we have no control over the design of other ISPs' backbones". That's acceptable, of course. I'm only convinced DNA's backbone is trash and they're not doing much to fix it.
I checked few months ago and DNA still hadn't fixed their backbone routing issue, and have decided to ignore me about it.
Also reminds me, DNA is being a little stagnant about peering with other Finnish telecommunications providers. This is not the case with TeliaSonera Finland and Elisa. This also contributes to DNA's latency.
Cable connections are inferior by design, your connection is shared with everyone in the cable network and thus heavily dependent on the traffic load of the network. The Indians that created DOCSIS also didn't pay much attention to security - lol telnet in 2016.
>>54349048
>I checked few months ago and DNA still hadn't fixed their backbone routing issue, and have decided to ignore me about it.
I only had to use PSOASnet for a month. I didn't have other ISP choices in that apartment, so my already then-low-expectation of DNA's network was just as I imagined it to be.
Glad my experience with DNA is over, just as short as it was (and had to be).
>>54344071

does what i want but i have hit its limits
going to build a rack setup in a month or two when i move from my 1 bedroom to my 3 bedroom apartment. going to end up buying an essentials license for esxi since i need the api functionality

Where do you get this?
>>54347310
For curiosity: Do you have suffered raids from authorities because you're running a tor exit?
>>54349554
ebay
>>54349652
No. Not yet, at least. Though my house has been raided in past for a non-related reason, I know my legal rights.
Operating a Tor exit is legal in Finland under Tietoyhteiskuntakaari 7.11.2014/917, 182 § Vastuuvapaus tiedonsiirto- ja verkkoyhteyspalveluissa.
According to Juha Nurmi (Ahmia.fi), the Finnish police uses ExoneraTor [1] in investigations before they rush at your home.[2]

>you can build a fucking awesome homeserver for less than 100€
>you need to spend 800 to have the bare minimum storage
Call me back when fucking storage prices aren't retarded
I don't use it for much, I have a few things on it, mostly for my D&D group of friends who all play PC games together. Has Rust, Minecraft Feed the beast, Teamviewer ect ect generic shit
Also use it for storage since I'm often not at home but don't like having shit tons of files on my laptop.
I had it on a Cisco switch, but it was loud and super overkill since I don't really use it for anything and I removed it. I've been meaning to put it on a UPS, I ordered a refurbished one and it was DOA, so currently dealing with that.
I had all these ideas and plans, and then I realized I'm far to lazy to maintain any of them.

explain
>>54350116
I will have to look into that. The essentials license is only like $650/3 years and that would handle 3 dual-cpu boxes so I am probably going to do that. I don't need vsphere and I can live without vmotion.
I run all of my network through it, and since I don't have the switches to handle vlans I just run a bunch of subnets directly off of the machine, 5 physical and 5 virtual all segmented heavily via firewall.
>>54350183
I collect and analyze malware, so I have machines that I snapshot and run samples on. That is mostly why I am buying another machine and a license, because to get cuckoo to work with esxi vm's it needs the API unlocked, plus I have filled up the storage on this thing already and I need more.

All data is stored on the 750GB WD Blue, aside from system, on an 8GB microsd.
It's been a fun project so far. Died 75 days in due to a knockoff microsd dying, so now I make regular backups of rtorrent and other info used. Might add Syncthing.

>>54349554
There is a local company called Save My Server who buys abandoned hardware from the QTS Datacenter down the street. Great one or two generation old hardware for super cheap.
