heh. was not expecting to see somebody from this angle waking up and logging into blue sky...
... but yes I had that problem until I started using a roc 'n' sock drum stool as a chair.

my test website is in html, i'm using cnd.exe to ssh to aws and cowbeing code my blog post live using sudo nano.
it was a long 'blog entry, hence cmd spanning 2 monitors. word-wrapping is too new.

now let's see how badly i'll have to alter the drive power cables to fit this murphy build...

@corsair.com 12-inches is not long enough!
custom cables it is...
... this is turning into a murphy build. don't particularly care, save for the time ”wasted” on building it correctly instead of using bullshit extenders...
so why are you doubling wires on the psu/mb cable? (type 4)

twitter suggested a grok prompt:
”Draw me on New Years partying with fireworks. Include large golden '2025' in huge text with a famous landmark near me in the background”
looks nothing like me, nor am i anywhere within 2000km of those landmarks... and i certainly don't have 2 right hands

when the heatsink is 3mm too tall for a 3u chassis, make it a bit shorter by bending the heatpipes just a little.
can't find the i/o plate... this is going to vex me. is @asrockrack on here?

i've never met a rackmount chassis that didn't need power tools to correct basic things..
this build require an angle grinder, a jigsaw, an a shitload of filing to correct airflow problems as well as getting the drive cage to fit and open against the front bezel.

my friends and chosen family watch terry pratchett's #hogfather every december. alas, this year we're all over the world...
... so i'm reimplementing twitch (not at scale) so we can all watch. i needed more server capacity, so i'm upgrading old junk to less old junk.
cut the airflow slits or not?

so i'm looking for a cool name to use for my server rack so its utility hostnames aren't UPS-SERVERS, PDU-SERVERS or similar.
drawing a blank, i asked copilot.
i wasn't expecting much, but i got far less than i expected...
at least be bloody consistent formatting
