>>101586929didn't Appoo quit making those in the early 2010s? If I wanted Nehalem-era hardware then I have some in my spare-parts box.
>>101586929i don't like having a fucking jet engine in my room
>>101587034theres something called ipmitool retard
>>101587034You don’t like jets? What are you, gay?
>>101587116unfortunately many are, i have 4 employyes who are ghey rn afaik
>its 2010>people tell me to get a homeserver>get one off of ebay>it arrives>connect it>noise beyond comprehension starts>entire table vibrates like the computer is dialing a stargate>fan so loud my ears are orbiting the moon nowno thanks
>>101587365Indeed
>>101586929cuz i like myself
>>101586929Because workstations are much better suited for that
Because I just SSH into my server.
>>101586929I dont need that much ram or that many cpus.
>>101586929too noisy and too slow to bootI have a dell optiplex salvaged from my friend's work place, that thing was 3 times faster than the desktop i had at the time but now i have a normal desktop 5 times fasterthe only good thing about that dell optiplex is the absurd amount of ram it has
>>101586929I do, my desktop is in a rackmount
>>101586929my "desktop" is in a server rack in another room. it is connected by optical cables. the board has a ecc and a baseboard management controller but it's a workstation board. i don't have to deal with noise, heat, or weird ass server connectors i can only find on ebay. frankly it is the most pleasant-to-use setup i have had yet.

>>101586929Why aren't you using a server as your laptop pc?
>>101586929Retvrn to mainframes
>>101587034No one told you to use a Proliant

>>101586929power bill
>>101586929my utilities dont even total $50/mo ~t. 11e w/ n5030
I have server hardware. I just can't figure out how to do anything with it.
>>101588829Are you stupid?
>>101588969Yes
>>101588773Unfathomably based.
>>101588829Install fedora, run seedbox, print server, security cams, low res tranny porn streamer
>>101588773Do you have an external monitor connected to that thang?
>>101586929servers in the home is a fucking meme, and 90% of the use cases are solutions looking for a problem.
>>101589277I already know what I would do with it if I could. I mean I can't figure out how to get the hardware functioning. It can't recognize any SATA drives I plug in unless I use a USB adapter for some reason, nor do I have any clue how to access the RAID array in any capacity. It's a ProLiant ML30 Gen9 if you have any experience with that.
What's the difference between a server and a regular computer turned sideways and squished flat? Genuinely asking
>>101589412An electricity bill that'll eat away all your neetbux.
>>101589412different kind of hardware, for example in storage and ram. though not completely different
Because a server doesn't have video and audio acceleration, it doesn't even need a display.I currently have a laptop with windows server 2025 running Jellyfin
>>101589412basically just a normal computer but purpose-built for sustaining heavy workloads and extended uptimes. components are more modular and usually doubled/redundant. Special ECC RAM. Two CPUs for workload distribution. dedicated console port / iDrac for remote management.otherwise, it's just a computer, and does familiar computer things. Windows Server is basically normal windows but hardened and including software suite.servers do come in a tower form-factor, although less common.

Too bad the Xserve line was discontinued long ago. Does anyone here happen to have any experience with the newer rackmounted Mac Pros?
>>101586929How would I fit my 4090 Strix OC in there?
>>101589346Can you access the iLO?
>>101591833Haven't yet tried, I'll do it tomorrow. Is that the only way to actually interface with the server? Sorry for not knowing any of this. The server was being thrown out at work and the IT guy let me have it.
