-=-=-=-=-=- UPDATE/11/27/20 -=-=-=-=-=-


First and foremost, thank you ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL so much.

Dpic, Rich D, optionalalt, My cousin Josch, friend and escaped china man Frank (Yilun), Pamela <3 aka BGS, Katherine F, Lori Q, Peter T, William N, Steve M, Vicki Y, Jonathan G, Cameron C, Steve (my plumber),DMJ, my wife, and of course the one, the only, KEYBORED!

You guys and gals simply rock.


Existing server, 10 bay, 2 cpu, 32threads, 64gb.

New server, 24 bay, 4 cpu, 120 threads, 64gb (ordering memory separately, as its cheaper and guaranteed new, instead of used)

Total cost was 1324$, donated amount was 1147.60$.
This number does not include extras purchased from amazon list directly, big thanks to Rich D and optional alt here.

From here, I will now start a proxmox cluster to ensure my high end services have redundancy, IE, I can turn off an entire server, without worrying about anyone disconnecting, I can make changes, and redeploy things live.

Currently, anytime theres an update, we have downtime. Granted, its 30 seconds tops in most cases.

Huge shoutout to IW, thanks for the Q mug, the support, the original thread, and most importantly from me, thank you for being a real human. You took time to reach out to me, and then more time to talk with me. You are an awesome human sir. KB, same goes to you. Inspirational is the word that comes to mind in reference to you.

Thank you all for the love, and support, and where we go one, we go all.
