Oh that's good to know. I took a look at notesnook a bit ago and immediately noped out when it appeared I'd have to get a subscription to do basic stuff.

While I would be open to a trade, I'd be more looking for something like the Synology that I already have, just not so walled garden. I currently have a number of 2.5 and 3.5 inch disks that I'd like to keep using, and I think the Optiplex is more of just a regular desktop than a server?

Huh, I'm also in the PNW. This could work out. I think it's a bit too much for my needs, and I really don't have the space for it. That said, I do want to learn how to use it, and get it up and running, etc. But after that I would definitely be looking to get something more practical. And quiet if it's as loud as people are saying.

Uff, I wouldn't even know how to ship that without it costing an arm and a leg

 

I'm not tech illiterate, but it's also not my job or anything. That said I managed to figure out how to get a synology up and running and it hosts my Jellyfin and *arrs. Nothing too exciting. I also have a couple of vps's that I use for nextcloud, a recipe server, all in docker containers. Not nothing but also, not the hardest thing to accomplish.

Well, my manager gifted me an old Dell PowerEdge R720 and 4 hard drives. Yeah, this is way more than I know what to do with, or even where to start. Do I need to plug both power cables in? I still need to figure out how to get a monitor hooked up to it with what looks to be a VGA cable. And even then this thing is a behemoth and what do I even do with it?? My manager was so excited to talk to me about it and I'm all 😵‍💫

Where do I start?

What age is a good age to give them one?
