Second #server rack installed in the #homelab. Most important takeway is that there is pretty RGB in it. For the nerds, I've decommissioned a lot of old 11th and 12th gen Dell Servers. Currently running a SuperMicro H11 Epyc Server in a CSE-826 chassis, a […]

honestly it’s kinda whack that meta isn’t pulling a bluesky and going "we’re a safe space for lgbtq individuals" and pulling out labels so that bigotry can run rampant and generate ad revenue while they virtue signal about protecting marginalized communities

Got a #thinkpad T480 since you can #libreboot and #coreboot them now. I kinda already forgot about this machine it has no swag compared to my **20 machines and older. Might use this and play with #QubesOS, "a reasonably secure operating system" as they say (RIP CPU).

Hearing that new #blurays are no longer being produced is quite disappointing, primarily because it's one of the few remaining ways to truly own the media you've purchased. Everything else is essentially just permission to access media that can be taken away at a publisher's or distributor's […]

Anyone who works with #networking equipment knows how awful these 10gbase-T RJ45 XCVRs are... The countless times I've burnt my fingers on these. Luckily I my uses of these XCVRs are quite temporary. #10gbps #homelab

as a sysadmin this so much. It’s one thing to say "oopsie something went wrong" and provide a button for the professionals to see where it went wrong and it’s another to just not provide any diagnostic information so I get to debug a black box.

Update on this: a battery blew up.
Modifying a Dell 1500VA to run on #lithium ion #batteries taken from totaled #tesla EVs. A lot of issues with it at the moment. Latest issue is not all batteries are outputting the same voltage so the external #battery management controller won’t run. Trying […]
