Dell optiplex 320 for file server
Hello folks a wild Dell optiplex 320 appeared to me for $38,00.
Core 2 duo processor 4gb RAM (which I can easily upgrade) 160gb HD (which I'll certainly change for a 1TB SSD
I would use It as a file server, maybe with nextcloud. It is Just for myself maybe S.O.
What's your toughts on It? Pass or get?
I use It for webserver in a SBC and two notebooks.
Same here OP
Bram will be missed. ✊🏾 :wq
Looks incredibly good!
I'm trying to give a shot até OpenBSD in some architetures.
Your wi-fi worked out of the box?
Nice I'm eagerly to try OpenBSD and maybe FreeBSD sometime.
Did you used FreeBSD with wi-fi? Any issues with It? Any other consideration about It?
Nice! I'm thinking about getting a 3040.
I use a Samsung N150P, bought it quite cheap, most of my use in it is for studying and college, hence it's a small and inexpensive machine.
BPI-M5 is a single board computer like Raspberry Pi, I've choosen OpenBSD due to its focus in security, documentation and also i want to try it in a desktop bare metal test machine(which is the one im currently using Void). I looked into FreeBSD too and it seems quite cool, ZFS, jails, good documentation and community too. Btw, I tried NomadBSD in a usb stick but it failed to build and kinda trashed the stick, I can't write over it now lol( still don't know if its repairable), will try with another stick soon.
I'm using Void in two laptops one x86_64 and other i686, both work very good, i'm in my way to put It on my maing machine too. Void + i3 very sane and produtive to me.
Btw I'm working to put up a server with OpenBSD in a BPI-M5.
Why do you have that opinion?
Btw, I'm about to test OpenBSD both in a laptop and Banana Pi-M5, reading the docs, mailing lists and other sources. I'm liking how OpenBSD is build and its objectives.
• ISO's for many systems (x86_64, i686, arm) • Base images for highly customizable experience •Good for old or "weak" machines, due to its capability to be a light OS •5 minute friendly installer for a non GUI one •Good documentation with a handbook •Engaged comunnity in different plataforms(like Reddit, lemmy, IRC) •Rolling release but not bleeding edge, packages and updates verified before releasing. Void focus in stability. •xbps (x binary packages systems) for managing packages, which is quite easy to use •runit (or systemd free) •easy services management •really fast booting •Original not based or dependand
That's what got me into Void. I have It in 64bit and 32bit old laptops. The 32bit it's a daily driver for college which i enjoy very much due to it being small, inexpensive and "agile" in its own way.
There's a lot of features that i didn't explored yet for lack of knowledge or need like disk encryption, ZFS via chroot, musl, arm installs or server usage. Void is great, i'm really thanked for everyone who works in it.
What about hosting a web server, would it not be quite a change too?
Really cool!!! Void is my favorit distro. Do also enjoy qutebrowser, I don't use only it just cause I have troubles while login in YouTube and Google services(which i'm trying to get rid off my life lol).
Switched to liftoff too, enjoying It a lot, thanks to you mate :)
OP, Void is my favorito distro, like It very much, sweet rice!
Mix of newborn and tech paranoid. And i think i'm moving slowly to the paranoid side (started reading OpenBSD docs lol)
Wow, amazing. Definetely a light theme that i would use. Really aestethic and cohesive. Maybe Will try to reach something like It someday.
Btw, i have a N150P too i run Void with i3wm+i3blocks+rofi. Love the small machines, i use It to college works and study in general. It still has a battery that holds about 2 hours of reading or text editing.
Cool! Im using void linux and think before July Will try OpenBSD
How long you've been using OpenBSD? Do you use It as a daily driver?
Discovered the *BSD's about couple weeks ago since then i've been reading manual of both FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Think i'll tive It a try with a test machine.
