Call to action: I want to buy a dedicated server for aus.social and some of the other fediverse instances to share resources.. and get it COLO'ed in Syd/Melb..

Anybody work in that field? Because everybody rules, I can afford a beefy-ish server on the Patreon money... so I'm looking for newish hardware.

If that's your bag. Message me.

I'm planning on building a 2U rackmount piece by piece. Maybe grab a AMD EPYC 7601 or newer and just DIY it - Instead of getting the DL380 or something from somebodies second hand pile

@aussocialadmin I'd split the difference between DIY and the big brands. Look at Quanta / Supermicro etc.
@haakon Supermicro is rad.
@aussocialadmin Just keep their BMC well away from the internet. (True for all BMCs/ iLOs / DRACs)
