  1. I'm wondering right now what to do - I'm outside rn and so fucking eager (and extremely worried) to inspect and see just what caused it, when I'm home. I did notice the power plug (attached to the wall/extension cord) wasn't seated tight.. could that have been the cause?

    It's a
    #B550 ITX board with a 500W Flex PSU - it doesn't have any GPU, just an #AMD Ryzen 5 5600G APU. Besides that, just 2 sticks of DDR4 RAM (64GB) and 2x 1TB NVME SSDs. It all depends on what I'll find later when I inspect it tho, but I'm wondering if I should continue having the node in my #homelab with replaced PSU (found a 600W 80 Platinum rated Flex PSU by FSP), or ditch it completely and replace it with an MATX build instead - #AsRock B550M Pro4 mATX board, same APU (or prolly, replace with my spare Ryzen 7 3700X), and brand new #CoolerMaster or #Corsair ATX PSU (80 Gold rated prolly, cos ATX PSUs are somehow more expensive than Flex ones?).

    The latter route is def more expensive, but idk if running a
    #Proxmox node with an #RKE2 #Kubernetes cluster 24/7 in a mini ITX setup is the most brilliant idea... though that node was running perfectly fine for a pretty long time now (~1 year or so probably).
