Retired to Cebu City, PH in November 2024.
Purged from FB after I set up a Hardware Firewall in January 2026.

VPN/Firewalls are must here if you don't want to be Zombied.
200mbs Fiber is 1499₱[$24.50usd] per month here.
Really Sucks not to have Instant Messengers/Image Texts back to family in the US.
The only option is Rakutan Viber, IF IF IF family members will install it.
Good to see you're back! You're doing some Homelabbing? Neat

It's crazy you've been here since 2012!
Kinda wandered into Homelabbing...
<Wanted a small External HD on each of my Three Machines for backups>
Laptop x2 & a Media Server.
500gb External HD's on Lazada are $17 Delivered.

External drives WITHOUT Movies are $22....
In the US, my Media Server was a Dell T3500...
In Cebu City, a replacement t3500 was $16, to put my Hard Drives & Boot SSD in.
In May, I added a HP z800: 96gb ddr3, 1tb ssd, 4 TB HD, DVD, 1Tb Quadro2000 with replacement Dual 6core Processors for $250...
Six vacant Drive Bays/Sata Channels, without messing with the SAS Controller.
My plan is to add the best PCIE 2x Quadro Card I can get TWO of [K4200] or earlier & get back to ripping DVDs.
