Your accent sounds very Croatian. I hope you will record some next record in your mother language. Pozdrav iz Bjelovara.

What is that blue wire around your wrist 2:25
It's an ESD Strap. Prevents electrostatic discharges to the sensitive electronic components.
Uh brate, nijesi mogao vise korisnih informacija sabiti u 13:55 nego sto jesi. Stvarno si sodlicno odradio ovaj tutorijal. Cekamo nastavak i instalaciju Dockera sa svim potrebnim kontejnerima. Pozdrav iz Crne Gore
Hvala :D
Samo nastaviiiiii😁😁😁😁

Hi, I need help. When i put in ls, nothing pops up
What software do you suggest for home cameras? The only free one I could find only works on windows and is kinda shit. I really wanna change to Linux for that server but IDK what software to use.
i think i will run my home server which i will use as a NAS on windows because i would easily get lost in linux, i definitely know my way around a windows machine
added to my tech youtuber list
YESSS
thank you!
is there have a tutorial about how i can connect my server to global internet with a dynmic ip
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
I'll be making a video on how to access your network remotely soon... It won't be Open VPN but something much much easier and simpler to setup. Make sure to stay tuned ;)
Sure
Would I be able to make this into a cloud server?
Hey! I see you are from Balkan from your browser language! Pozdrav iz Slovenije:)
when i applied the netplan my router suddenly did not want to connect to my laptop anymore, do you know why?
My guess is an incorrect character in the yaml file you edited. I guess this because that is what I did - I read a "1" as an "l" in the network card name and it lost my computer completely until I figured it out.
Intel xeon it's okay ? I want create server for Minecraft
I've run minecraft server on it without any problems, its been great!
Hi , can i use old laptop😅
Of course!
Ja sam iz hrvatske i volim se bavti sa tim nasevima serverima...
Jesi ti iz hrvatske
Jesam :)
I'm putting together a server can you tell me if the specs are okay it's a ryzen 9 6900 HX 8core 16 thread 3.3 GHz base clock 4.9 GHz boost clock 32 GB of ddr5 dual channel 5600mhz sodimm a 1 TB m.2 nvme SSD and a 500 GB M.2 nvme SSD it has high speed ethernet Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 Windows 11 and an RX 6700 XT 12 gigabyte graphics card I want to run a thousand slot do you think that's possible
don't be needy
Why even have a text annotation if you show it just for a millisecond? So annoying if people do that. Interresting topic but I really hope that was a one off.
😂
for a first time user of linux and setting up a server LOL i quit as soon as you started with the terminal NOT Beginner friendly SORRY will not be following you setup
You will forever be a beginner with that attitude
its really not that hard
this is extremely beginner friendly if you cant figure out how to copy and paste youre fucked
Don't do it! You will consume so much electricity using an old PC build!
Blah blah blah
Realistically, you're not pulling as much as younthink as long as you're not pushing it to its full. I run 4 rackmount Xeon servers and 2 q6600 core 2 quad cpu towers. They all run 24/7 and I'm on prepaid electricity. I spend about 25 dollars on electricity per month.
@@Darkstarrgamer I run 10 times that amount of compute and barely scratch $10 a quarter.
@@ThereWillBeCake also keep in mind electricity price. You're in the US? And the 4 are all Xeon Gold cpus.
@@ThereWillBeCake we get absolutely screwed over with electricity prices in ZA
