Just another bastard operator from hell empowering others to deliver self-hosted solutions one night at a time. #Sysadmin by day, #homelab by night.
No kings or something idk I’m just a Bioshock fan.

Both TikTok and Lemon8 have been shutdown. It’s been real. 🫡

Mounted the access point on the wall. After a couple days of testing, it’s a step up!

It’s centrally located in the house and no matter where I am, I’m pulling 350/30 from my ISP which is a little more than what I pay for.

Now I just need to get some cable channels.

If you’re in your early 20s, buy a license for System Center Datacenter.

Go into debt if you have to.

This is not satire.

You can get System Center Datacenter for $3600 and if you buy it right it will hold its value if not appreciate.

Broadcom has killed VMUG evaluation licensing. You must now be certified VCP-VCF or VCP-VVF to qualify for the new program.

I guess you can say I leveled up my home datacenter game with Level RMM. Ugh. Time to patch...

I just had the epiphany that if I use RMM, I can disable SSH and RDP.

I should not have had ribs for lunch. I am now going to go sleep in the server room.

Well, I think this is something. I'm really enjoying using MeshCentral so far. I was able to get it up (giggity) in about ~30 minutes or so and spent the rest of the time exploring and making sure this was worth pursuing. Tomorrow, I'm going to try connecting this to AD and on-boarding some users.

Gonna build my second rack right after a nice breakfast. Gonna store the den switch, backup server and other fun things.

The rack looks sooo good!

Last night, DC FW01 had to have an SSD swapped, Sophos reinstalled, and the backup restored. Everything came up smoothly. Gotta love weird OS and licensing issues fixed with a hardware swap. I’m glad this issue came out before I was deep in the mud with prod systems down.

Gonna be an interesting weekend. I’m setting up a server for Colo. Let’s do this!

It’s only 9am and already I’ve had enough. It’s read-only Friday damn it.

I scrolled through my feed and I’m highly disappointed it’s devoid of pets. Let’s fix that! Show me your pet!
