Ugh. This is such a stupid #password dialog for #dell #idrac.

If you have less than 8 characters, it tells you to use "at least 8". If you have 8 characters, it is happy. If you type 9 characters it tells you that you have too many characters.

You must have exactly 8. No more. No less.
The password field with exactly 8 dots in it. No warnings The password field with 9 dots in it. "Password exceeds the maximum allowed length" The password field with 7 characters in it. The error says "Use at least 8 characters."

It came with 2 PDUs that take 3-phase, 60A, 250V AC. I, um, won’t be plugging those into the house. My servers run on 240V, 2-phase. This plug is just a […]

Photo of the PDU mounted in the rack. It has 6 banks of 6 plugs each. Photo of the side of the rack with the “Sun Oracle” logo on it. I like the Sun icon with the 4 S’s The IEC309 power plug. My hand for scale. Just the wire itself is huge.

Walking through an art gallery that is pretty eclectic. Lots of found art and beach art. But then this was in the pond and made me think of my #monsterdon peeps.
