#optiplex — Public Fediverse posts

Linux Microblog update:

My spouse fixed my other franken-rebuilt Dell Optiplex ProxMox node by editing a network config file to detect the new default card name that came with the new motherboard.

While their approach was simpler, faster, and less destructive, my approach...uh...required less planning.

Linux microblog update:

ProxMox (or maybe my network hardware) does not like when I swap harddrives onto different motherboards (and therefore different ethernet cards with new MAC addresses.)

I do this anyway because used old Dell Optiplexes tend to be... used...and old, and it can be a bit...dynamic...adding additonal storage to them.

Luckily reinstalling a ProxMox node from my USB key is quick, and now the node thinks it was born with this motherboard and ethernet card.

Linux microblog update:

Turning three used Dell Optiplex PCs into a ProxMox cluster was much easier than I expected.

Neat.

Comença la meva aventura a Pixelfed.

Us parlo del meu casolab i l'ampliació del rack.

I estic buscant perfils tècnics per seguir, per si algú té alguna recomanació.

The upgrade process of my Dell Optiplex is finally done!

Special thanks @AmyIsCoolz for facilitating the purchase of the parts and guiding me through the assembly and software changes.

I can now compile the Linux Kernel quickly... probably?

In my attempts to OptiplexMaxx I've given my nodes names based on rivers from my neck of the woods! 😍 Some servers are still pets!

As a #Windows enthusiast since my school days, I was finally able to upgrade my aging #Dell #OptiPlex 3020M with #Fedora Server 43 a few days ago - and what can I say? Easy and quick installation, hardware was 100% supported: fantastic. Setting it up via #Cockpit is a dream. Currently, two VMs are running for #homeassistant and #plexmediaserver (also with Fedora Server 43, of course).
I'm considering upgrading my #Windows 11 Laptop to Fedora 43 as well, but I'm still hesitating because #Affinity v3 is not compatible.

Dell Optiplex 780 (2010) - My new main computer

So...I decided that due to an annoying error from Cockpit, I was going to upgrade my #Dell #OptiPlex 760 from 2009 to #Debian 13.

My god what a breeze...

I am running a #TorProject #Snowflake proxy "farm" at home with 5 #Ubuntu VMs and a single bare metal server on a #Dell #Optiplex from 2009.

This is the 1st VM:
