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!

If it wast just AI, but the idiotic crawlers everywhere are getting worse by the day it feels.

I still have some ancient RPi running a basic homepage with some reverse proxies. A few weeks ago and after stopping to care about that thing years ago I realized that the access log that was just happily sitting there for years without getting to relevant sizes has suddenly grown by nearly 1GB, most of it in the last 6-8 months because I never bothered to set up logrotate.

But hey... I wanted to test setting up Anubis for quite some time. So now I can watch them run circles in the (still experimental) honeypot feature reading pages and pages of non-sensical babbling ๐Ÿ˜‚
