I've got a MicroServer

I've got a MicroServer.
What can I do with it?

Make a NAS
Host a website or game server or something

i dont fuckin know, why did you get it

you can do everything!
>you can't do anything.

Sell it.

Buy some ECC RAm and run FreeNAS.

You can use it as a server.

shove it up your ass

>Run TOR exit node
>Wait for SWAT team
>?????
>Profit

install gentoo

put your favorite traps and chinese cartoons on it

Install Solus

da fuck he need ecc ram for? He's hardily running mission critical software.. it's a fucking microserver.. for the tiny business/hobiest. E fucking CC..

DO what most people do.. use it as a nas.
Currently have debian on it headless, in a different town. I connect via ssh and plex. Stick transmission on there and add torrents from your phone anywhere in the world. Or use it as a backup server/mail sevrer/ etc etc. the possibilities are endless.

MicroServer stuff

You made me remember borderline agents have my ODROID kept since Jnaury. fml

These HP microservers support ECC RAM. If you enjoy your data and use ZFS, you might as well use it

ECC is highly recommended for ZFS

Serve tiny web pages.

kek

Turn it into a bitcoin miner

Install Sonarr, Plex for media-consuming-botnet and Seafile on it for muh cloud

this

Have you ever masterbated?

...

>build server
>script my own little webcrawler which looks for only the freshest memes
>hosts those, so my shitposting ability becomes way more efficient

Only your dreams keep you from finding what is out there, OP

nfsd
mpd + icecast
dlna for your smart tv/console
get a bunch of cheap SoCs and build your own smart home with a web interface you can control remotely
get a ddns, run a webserver, put up a website, post the URL anywhere public, wait for the barrage of Chinese HTTP crawlers followed by attempts to bruteforce root password over SSH

host a loli website

This is a viable option that you should seriously consider.

Why does that thing have network ports that are only accessible by opening a plastic door on the front?

Install XPEnology if you're mentally incapable or don't have the budget nor the time to initially invest in FreeNAS.
Otherwise Buy more ECC ram and install FreeNAS.

>HP Microserver user here with ZFS

And jesus christ have I suffered from data loss due to bitrot.

That is what you get for storing your data on spinning rust.

Hear the quads, OP.

Actually the actual data corruption started on a SSD.

put it back in the trashcan, where you got it from

You could use it as a server

Unless for some reason you want to run Windows, because HP doesn't provide drivers anymore unless you're a paying customer

A tor exit node. with many storage drives...
You know a Raspberry Pi is a much cheaper alternative.
>SWAT
Just forward traffic to a VPN.
>just run it on a a VPS
I don't trust VPS's to not log incoming traffic That's why at one point it should be your home connection.

Those are just the frame of each hard drive rack slot dumbass

I have one that runs openmediaserver, dont do plex or anything similar, it wont have the horsepower

Why is it that bitrot only seems to affect people who use ZFS/other things supposed to stop bitrot?
Obviously it's just because only you guys actually notice it, but I hardly ever have files go bad on me.
>Now I'm gonna look for an old file and it's gonna be completely fucked.
Great.

Is pic related the one you got? Should have gotten a gen8.

Download bitcoin-core and run a bitcoin full node to support the network

Host a minecraft server open up for donations

This.

those olders are pretty shitty with amd turions.

is that a n36l or n40l?

Run a freenas/nas4free box with ecc ram, that's your best choice. I have one and it's okayish, but gen8 is much better with xeon e3 and 16gib ram

@58956085
It's the N40L with the Turion II @ 1.5GHz and 4GB of RAM

Bitrot is a meme anyway.

I went to look at the oldest files on my server, which happen to be porn with files created in May 1997. They have been copied through a dozen drives as I've upgraded my server over the years, from ext2, ext3 to ext4 and now btrfs. And yes, everything works. Couldn't find a single one that was fucked.

Watch your porn from any room in the house.

>What can I do with it?

This is probably something you should have asked yourself before obtaining it.

what is the cpu? if it's not shit, use plex

Nice blog post you flamboyant homosex

>Read backup off single external drive with no redundancy and already 7 checksum errors only 1TB in.
The files are all still executable, thank god.

>Why is it that bitrot only seems to affect people who use ZFS/other things supposed to stop bitrot?
ZFS has a good terminal interface for showing you which files were flipped. And people who run it without parity will run into those issues on a regular basis.

You can then experiment in depth with them to see how bad said damage is once it's alerted you.
Bitrot rarely goes unnoticed under ZFS whereas a normal system you access like 30% of your FS over a period of a year and only notice a single file which failed to read and copy to your flash drive.

Insert your micropenis in it.

>Bitrot is a meme anyway
>i no moar then enterprise professionals

I use mine for Plex!

>HP

hahahaha have you got a door that needs to be kept open or a bed to prop up?

what that server will sound like when it is switched on:

YeeeeeeeeeeeeeennNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNZZZZZZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTHTHTHTHYNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

like a gnat on steroids

>Tfw HP DL580G5
WAKE ME UP

>HP DL360 G6
:^)

I use it to store md5deep'd backups from my nas which has no ECC.

So far, no bitrot. But I have lost plenty of data through not backing shit up or deleting the wrong backups.

>Bitrot is a meme

No it isn't mongoloid, it's literally physics destroying hardrives. Tape is the best way to archive things but it costs a fortune.

Use it to create an archive and backup of mudkips plz
