Nostr Web Client

I'm selling items I don't need on eBay, which I absolutely hate, so that I can raise funds to build a new, more powerful Lightning node with a RAID 1 setup. 🤙

Do I build one from scratch or buy a refurbished small form factor machine with two SATA ports? Decisions.

A refurb will be cheaper, but finding a device that supports 2X storage devices is the kicker.

If you've done this, what hardware did you decide upon?

An old optiplex 9020. 2, 2tb SSDs in RAID 1 as well.

K3tan was the one who Optiplex pilled me 😅

At least I think he was the one who posted about his set up and mentioned getting old business computers for cheap on ebay. Being able to do the IBD in ~15 hours was also a major selling point.

Optiplex does seem like a solid choice. +1
