oh my god. oh my god.

I'm building a dedicated dl machine and deciding on the name. I like my machines to have in jokes in their names, so was pondering sea themes, Barnacle, which I liked but not liked liked...scallop? needed to be some sort of high seas sailing parasitic leech

Then it hit me. The mother fucking perfect name

What’s your build? I’m gonna get a dell optiplex 7060 for my Plex machine cause my gaming rig is dying and plex is about it’s only purpose atm, but I’m debating a raspberry pi for a light weight DL machine.

Ah this is a literal dl machine, file server is a different machine entirely. Gonna be a vm on a proxmox with a 3tb landing pad and rdp access so the hubs stops harassing me. (PIA is currently on my w10 laptop and we're both IT pros, so using someone elses machine is like wearing their underwear. And not in a fun way.)

Edit: if ya really wanna know.... the hardware is a Dell PowerEdge R620. Lol.
