Hi everyone, I'm trying to establish a private torrenting setup using qBittorrent on my local whitebox server machine using Ubuntu 22.04 called seedbox-server and a Virtual Private Server (VPS) as a VPN using Ubuntu 22.04 and OpenVPN (I used GitHub - Nyr/openvpn-install: OpenVPN road warrior...

If it were me, I'd want to do AMD Zen 3/4 with some nice ECC memory, but I also have some older X99 server boards running with ECC memory too. Self built is definitely a better option for customization, and more fun IMO. I mean , I even run a 5900X with ECC memory in my desktop since that's my...

Yeah seriously lol, I refuse to go anywhere near them, luckily all my power supplies have enough actual SATA power cables that I don't need to worry about those cables. That, and I usually only tend to have like 6-8 drives per server.

I admit I'm here because of Linus (although the actual main reason I am here is because I like networking, system administration, home labbing, home servers, all that good stuff). He can definitely have his cringe moments but he's honestly pretty entertaining in my opinion.

Data storage and storage servers is definitely my most expensive hobby. Hard drives cost hundreds and with RAID you end up needing more of them, and then of course you can never have enough space. It really adds up quickly.
