  • DIY, what are you working on this weekend?

    Jump

  • Reattaching my towel rack to my wall. It was held in with drywall anchors but those have failed so will either repatch and reattach or glue it back on. Depends on how done with it I am

  • What's a big tech product that you actually find useful?

    Jump

  • Honestly.. I might get some pushback for this but Chromecast audio. Being able to get full home audio streaming for a fraction of the cost of a normal system with a few of those and a few old hifis. Worth it for me

  • Hey lemmies, what are your plans for today?

    Jump

  • Well it's night here so sleep. But after that I've got work then I might study a bit, eat some cake. Nothing much really

  • Good luck on retraining!

  • Honestly, throw a couple services running on ubuntu servers on the proxmox machine. It's not the same as book learning, but it does help a lot with the basics and patchy knowledge I found. Not saying I'm an expert or anything, but I do know a lot more about managing Linux servers now than I did 5 years ago from running 15 of them on Proxmox

  • This is actually my second foray into IT work. I went to college for software development, failed that, went to work as a printer technician, left that, went into retail and now I am here. Thanks!

  • Those are the best places to find hardware to be fair. That and ebay/Facebook around the end of the financial year

  • Hey that's my old CPU which I just retired from my old pc. If it wasn't somewhat set aside for a pc for my SO it would be my new video encoder. The two servers I do have running do have some issues. The proxmox machine has a dead RAM slot and several dead fans or dead fan connectors. (Enough run to keep it cool at least). The Truenas box keeps showing an error with the second PSU and the vga out does not work (Either on front or back). Both work well enough for me.

  • What are you using for photo storage and organization?

    Jump

  • Prism is my go to ..it's allright but I am still looking for new options. Have heard good things about Immich so might look at that

  • Removed

    Be honest, do you still use reddit?

    Jump

  • Now and again I jump on for niche information for my hobbies. But only on desktop, and only on old.reddit.com

  • Nice! That is a decent setup, what are you using it for?

  • He sure likes the pile of servers and switches!

    Jump

  • Those are some nice Dell servers. What is the error on the top one?

  • Ah it's all good it's holding on with the power of sheer will... Plus it was flexing that bad before the hardware got put on it and barely moved after.. I hope..haha

  • Here’s the finished product of my 3D printed mini server rack.

    Jump

  • That's pretty neat! Love the colours

  • Honestly, I just got lucky with a lot of the hardware. The two Dell servers cost a total of about £140, and I got three for that money. Sadly one needs a new motherboard but the rest of the hardware works fine

  • Apologies Mods I just realised this might fit better in a homelab community, please remove if it is not suitable
