Doing some cabling in a very conservative church some years ago, it brought me great mirth when I had occasion to ask for a "male to male" adapter

The LTE / 5G folks make me envious with all their IPv6 everywhere, and then sometimes there's SRv6 too, if MPLS isn't exciting enough 😆

That GPU hanging out in the open like that, looks like some RISC-V business (sorry, I'll see myself out)

I'll be helping with a comparatively tiny VMware to XCP-ng migration in a few weeks - the main driver being those thoroughly covered price hikes. (The end of VMUG also meant the end of VMware in my home lab, which I replaced with SUSE Harvester)

That sounds like it was a serious unit! This little scanner isn't quite so fancy; it has plain old USB, though I guess that does make it easier to work with in 2025

I like having an old laptop or two around to explore lightweight Linux distros, or Haiku, or whatever strikes my fancy. They're a ton of fun!

Sorry to hear about your HVAC troubles, but that's a great idea! I wish that possibility had occurred to me when mine failed a few years ago.
