    suggestion?: use the old HDD as a nice backup driver (mirror), if it eventually crashes, it finally used its life, and no money was lost (apart from data)
    for those who find it difficult to setup a static IP address through ubuntu, if your home ISP modem has a DHCP Reservation option, you can setup a static IP of your choosing with the MAC address of the server. in the ubuntu server, type "ifconfig -a", find "ether" or "eth0" and you'll find the MAC Address (e.g12:ab:a1:b2:b1:a2). put those details in the modem and give server a reset, if it not working, shutdown the ubuntu server and reboot you home modem to clear the caching.

    • @Djambo57
      @Djambo57  Месяц назад +1

      Haha, it's the "Xiaomi Mi Handheled Vacuum Cleaner"... It actually broke like 2 weeks after recording this video. The battery didn't last more than 1.5yrs and when I tried to replace the cells inside, the tamper protection triggered and basically killed the whole thing. I'm actually making a video about it at the moment and It's going to be a pretty interesting fix. I designed a small PCB to bypass the mainboard so I can still use the vacuum since everything else is working and it's really useful to have it portable like that

    Hello
    I have also built my initial home server using my old pc to store steam games as well as storing my files.
    I am using windows 10 pro with intel i 3 3rd gen 3.30 ghz speed with 16 gb of ram However I have customized the windows 10 by deleting default apps and softwares and I am also using it remote PC to use outside my network.
    In the near future, I'm planning to upgrade the Cpu with xeon like yours.
    However I tried to use kali lunix and ubantu sever but was not able to feel comfortable.
    Can you suggested me how to install Open VPN server to access my important files outside the network

    • @Djambo57
      @Djambo57  9 месяцев назад +2

    • @Djambo57
      @Djambo57  3 месяца назад

      No, it doesn't matter... The desktop version may be easier to use while the server version is a lighter OS, meaning it takes fewer resources to run. I chose to go with the server version since I don't log into this PC often, and I set up most of the stuff I need in the beginning and dont touch it from there

    2:50 "The xeon doesn't have an integrated GPU..." No. None of the socket 775 generation CPU's had integrated GPU's integrated Gfx was done on the motherboard. the G41 chipset has the "GPU". You probably needed to enable it in the BIOS as the previous owner probably disabled it because they had a discrete GPU card installed. Also if you tried to use it with the GPU card plugged in, that also probably disabled it, but I guarantee you, that PC has an integrated graphics (Specifically GMA X4500)
    There is a slight advantage to using the dedicated GPU and that's to prevent the GMA from taking a bit of system memory for itself
