ahwxinator (ahw-xi-na-tor)
ahwxinator is meant to be my new storage server, as well as serve some websites, do some management for my other servers, containers and it might have a windows vm in the future.
why?
- i, my family and youtube videos need storage
- i dont want to upgrade (the case atleast) any time soon
- i want to have it rackmounted
- i am somewhat of a a data hoarder
- it's a cool project
- i want silence (thus liquid cooling)
what?
