  • Workplace retiring some PC's - thinking of grabbing one to do my first self hosting on - which one of these should I take? (specs inside)

  • I see!!!! Thanks, great tip.

  • How would I connect to the same network from so far away? Is that impossible?

    If I want to connect from far away, would a simple NordVPN do the trick?

  • Thanks. Yeah, didn't give the full specs - my bad. I'm gonna take the 7020 and maybe the G4. Another question though -

    Am I right in thinking if I self host, storing a bunch of movies locally, I can then connect to my self hosted server from another location/computer and stream my personal library?

    Thanks

  • Well sort of, but it's more that sometimes there's nuances to the tech that makes things better or worse, like people will say oh well Linux hosting works best on a post-(year) intel chip or whatever.

    Youre right though, I should've added the full specs and asked questions based off that. I was just hastily posting from inside the cellar at work.

    I have now googled regardless and I'm gonna take the Optiplex 7020

  • Ah, yeah. I don't know the terminology. I'll change it to threadbare My level of tech awareness is like... my friends think I know stuff but actually I'm just great at taking a punt and watching tutorials.

    Anyway, yeah, I changed the old one to a nifty NVME and now it runs like a dream.

    Currently I'm using Zorin OS Alite - do you really think I should go to mint or Ubuntu before I start settling in? My initial reaction to Zorin is that I'm satisfied with it, but if it's not as reliable as mint then maybe I should just start again?

  • Yep, that's what I did. Super fast now.

  • Ah, mines the one with the m.2 SSD slot (or something like that) - I replaced it with a nice fast one for £30 and it's running like a dream. Much faster than it was before.

    Crucial P3 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 3500MB/s - CT500P3SSD8

    You should be able to replace the HDD with one of the bigger SSD's though? Isn't the bracket for it built in?

    No gaming, hopefully. Perhaps hearthstone if I succumb to it.
