New! Dual E5-2683 Shared Bare Metal Server Offer -- Texas!!
Hello!
Want to share this fine server with me?
It has both RAID 10 SSD drives and an extra NVMe drive. There is an IPv4/28 and an IPv6/128 with an IPv6/48 routed to the /128.
Hopefully you know lots more than I do! And you are willing to teach me something.
Hopefully you also want to share the $99.95 monthly cost!
Not sure how long I want to keep this server. It is paid up to November 24.
Thanks!
Tom

Never make the same mistake twice. There are so many new ones to make.
It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right.
A lot of swap :-)
@somik 24 Nov 2025
@risturiz Yeah, I also noticed what seemed like a lot of swap. Additionally, if I understand right, the gentleman who kindly did the install for me set up the RAID 10 from within the baseboard controller in a way somehow analogous to a hardware RAID controller. I want to learn more about how the RAID works on this particular setup. Here is the full lsblk output:
