I’m running a TrueNAS build which has just grown in time. Started off at 5x8TB drives, then added 5x16TB drives and just last week added another 5x26TB drives (that was costly ☠️). It’s all running in a very cheap case using an old threadripper machine I had (2950x), which thankfully supports ECC (128GB purchased years ago before the sillyness).

It’s about the storage I have in my server right now - using 15 drives ☠️

Start off simple, use something like uptime-kuma just to check your services are available - takes minutes to set up and can send you notifications when something goes down. It can plug into docker directly to check if a container is up, as well as perform HTTP checks that the service is responding, plus some other cool stuff.

(Side note, I set up ntfy to handle notifications and it’s great! Another solid recommendation but you can use discord web hooks or whatever as well)

The other options described here are good for gathering and visualising data, but it takes quite a bit to set them up and even more to configure the right kinds of alerts to notify you when something is wrong. A simple “is this docker container running” check or a “does this respond with a http 200” check gets you like 95% the way there.

As someone with a UK passport, I am fully on board with rejoining as a regular member. Biggest negative change for me would be the currency and I’m fine with that, it’s a small price to pay for free trade and freedom of movement.

I’m guessing it’s the latter, they need to keep accidents to a minimum if they’re ever going to get broad legislation to legalise them.

Every single accident is analysed to death by the media and onlookers alike, with a large group of people wanting it to fail.

This is a prime example, we’ve known about the human intervention for a while now but period people seem surprised that those people are in another country.

It’s not really the same thing today as it was 15 years ago. It also hasn’t been running continuously that whole time. They regularly stop experimenting to build new extensions onto it.

I visited the LHC back in 2019 and at the time they were expanding it even then.
