Idk I have cheap electricity, 7c day 6 night so I just have it on its own

This ^

I'd say or Ubuntu or Debian altho debian might require some more doing, it will be stable garanteed, i'd say better than ubuntu altho that's my opinion (I use both btw)

I'm surprised you can hear the drive to begin with

My brother in christ why didn't you run an OS to make sure the acpi can be controller properly?...

I have PTSD every time I turn on that computer now...

hugs

I will just get a nice amd board with ipmi and dump a good Ryzen cpu, Any linux, be debian or any Rhel based distro or even Proxmox and tons of drives plus a few nvme raids. Pretty much about that

I am making this post- because if you follow the recommended practices of having proper backups (3-2-1) rule, you can recover from these issues without breaking a sweat.

Backups, combined with log/authentication monitoring, gives you peace of mind. Properly securing everything, and restricting network access when possible, keeps things from spreading around your network.

Without the proper ACLs/Rules into place, the attacker could have gained access to my network, in which case, containing the damage would be extremely difficult. This is why having a proper DMZ is still crucial for any publicly exposed services.

Amen

I'm in

Filter incoming traffic from countries with malicious attacks :)

Also because it seems that all the WD blues I've ever bought have died xd

This ^ /s

Might be e-waste but still good for someone just starting, not everyone pays expensive electricity

I keep the stuff running 24/7, barely once a year for cleanup pretty much / upgrades or whatever. Don't mind me I still got to get a UPS for when the electricity goes down which it hasn't happen in the past years
