Ceph. I have some Raspberry Pi’s that I’m going to set up a cluster with. Just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I half expect the performance to be relatively terrible, but maybe it won’t and I can try to build something on top of the cluster in a sort of hyper converged setup.

It’s completely overkill for a small home lab but that’s what makes it fun.

Just use Debian. Why use the inferior downstream distros when you can go right to the OG? You are already halfway there.

Debian doesn’t have a corporate sponsor so there is no risk of getting spammed or giving someone your personal information.

I’ve been with Porkbun for over a year now. No complaints.

If I had to guess it got damaged when transported in a box with hundreds of pounds of old servers stacked on top of it. Some of the other KVMs I saw were in pieces.

My cat has claimed it as his own lol
