Happy Republic Day to all. I'm selling my PC plus a couple of additional components. Before I list the items, a couple of things to note: - Shipping and insurance are at the buyer's expense. I can generate quotes from multiple carriers as I've got access to a Shiprocket business account now. -...

I didn't have a lot of issues with LXC containers or anything, I just found it cumbersome updating the containers & containerised apps manually. I started trying to generate my own container images, but since Proxmox supports LXC containers but not LXD containers I didn't find a lot of tooling...

I've been using Proxmox for a while, but I'm not a huge fan of the custom LXC tooling they use for administering containers. Anyone use LXD in production or homelab and have any thoughts on how it stands up to Proxmox?

Finally found the SMART data I pulled for the drives. PFA: Seeing as one is quite well used, I'm dropping the price for the heavily used one to 1500. The pristine one is still 2500. For clarity, the heavily used one has ~49.1TB TBW. The model is rated for 150TB TBW as per Crucial's specs here...

Feedback added. Thanks everyone. Moderators, this thread can be closed at your convenience.

Updates: NIC sold to @tomemmanuel RAM sold offline CPUs & SSDs still available.

Both items are confirmed by @Nyalicious , just for everyone else's reference.

Edit 21/12/23 - NIC confirmed by @tomemmanuel

For sale: 1x Celeron J4125 Tiny PC - 12,000 - purchased from Amazon, unknown manufacturer, whitelabeled by some desi company. Has 4 GbE ports (Intel 215 NIC IIRC), plus 8GB RAM and a 240GB mSATA SSD that I installed. Worked very well as an OPNsense router, I had two internet connections...

Hey, updates for everyone - no luck on X99 or X79 motherboards, so the CPUs are only suitable for people who have a compatible system. I'll upload SMART data for the SSDs later today. The NIC is currently on hold for @tomemmanuel. Have contacted @Yamorikills1234 about the RAM. Also, for...

Update: The buyer for the iPad has backed out. I will now go through the list of people whom contacted me in order of when they contacted me. For clarity, the list is as follows: 1. @YouKnowWho 2. @reddead66 3. @Shahbaz Choudhary 4. @zktel 5. @arpith.fbi I will message the list in order and...

Sorry, missed this. AVS Infomedia in Nehru Place is whom I go to for new components. For used/refurb stuff I usually go with one of the following: - AMS Trading in Janakpuri - VS Computers in Nehru Place I trust AMS a good bit more than VS Computers but still test everything I buy thoroughly...

This is just the stuff that was lying at the office. I have to go home and post all the stuff that's been lying there. Appreciate all the likes, folks! Asked about motherboards and my primary vendor said just take a Dell R320 barebones and put the 2450L in that so if anyone wants a homelab...

Oh man. I've been going to Nehru Place since I was a teenager. I could go on a rant about them for hours. That's why I suggested I'd be happy to help out other people - I've had to build up defences against their bakchodi.

Thought I'd chime in on this since I've developed a sideline in facilities/IT management in the last couple of months. There are a bunch of refurb/used vendors across Delhi that are reliable; the issue with most of them is that they're not really professional organisations that will test...
