The end of an era - I cancelled my colo service for my #SelfHost server last week, as I have enough bandwidth at home to run everything in the "#HomeLab".
I've had a colo server for over 20 years (2 different 1U servers, and both have been pretty reliable.
First it was in Telehouse London, then a dudes garage in Maidenhead, which then morphed into Pulsant in Maidenhead.
It taught me good discipline about upgrading things remotely, and keeping an eye on security, as it was over 100miles away, which would have been a right PITA to fix if a reboot failed.
By the time I turned this one off, its uptime was over 800 days.
Thank you for your service, little server 馃檹
I'm not sure what im going to do with it now, apparently the RAID controller only supports up to 2TB drives, and it's really noisy.
The previous one was the cheapest SuperMicro one I could find at the time, which was ~拢800.
I got this one free from @bobbycc, whos work was chucking it out, so it's been well used - Thanks, I appreciate it!
There's nothing physically wrong with it though... 馃槩
