Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

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!

HA is possible with 2 (+Qdevice) with zfs repl, but I'll look for a third one as well sooner or later. I haven't used ceph, but everyone tells me how much of an overhead it has

[–] 0x0f@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, I'm aware of the overhead and hope I won't have to roll back to something less, but if it turns out to be too demanding, I will have to roll back to nfs or think of something else.
