What's going on on your servers?

I had to bite the bullet and buy new drives after the old ones filled up. I went for used enterprise SSDs on eBay and eventually found some that had an okay price, even though it's been much more than last time I got some. Combined with Hetzner's hefty price increase some month ago, my hobby has become a bit more expensive again thanks to the ever growing appetite of companies building more data centers to churn more energy.

Anyways, the drives are in, my Ansible playbook to properly encrypt them and make them available in Proxmox worked, so that was smooth (ignoring the part where I disassembled the Lenovo tiny from the rack, open it, SSD out, SSD in, close it and put it back in only to realize I put in the old ssd again).

Any changes in your hardware setups? Did the price increase make you reconsider some design decisions? Let us know!

I made the right decision to get two HP elitedesk g4 minis instead of one, and to give them both plenty of ram (before the shortage).

I temporarily "lost" one of them after a power outage revealed that the CMOS battery was dead in one. It's back up and running, but it was nice to be able to simply import the containers on the remaining good unit while I fixed it up.

Test your backups! It'll save you time and headache, plus you can feel superior to others.
