I mean, Boeing hasn’t killed them in a fireball of death, hurtling at 18 thousand kph to the earth. The media has this totally wrong, for now. Everything is totally fine, at this time.

Yet another reason to move to Canada, would you look at that.

Dude, do you know how much ass I beat at my last gig? It was tremendous (parts hands away from myself).

You mean… LinkedIn? If there’s any site that perfects the shitpost, it’s LinkedIn. Everyone is bullshitting their pants off there.

I use one of those coax/Ethernet converters in my house. It’s a 2-story place and running Ethernet was going to be too daunting for a room.

Overall it works very well (I had bad experiences with using network over electrical power). The only thing that will be a downer is the gigabit coax converters seem to be expensive. Since I just had 1 client in an isolated network, 100mbps was fine for me but would hamper your NAS throughout. You’d also need to buy 2 sets of converters for your use case, so that’s potentially not cheap if you’re wanting gigabit from end to end.

Some of the newer wireless standards are very quick, but you’d also need to ensure all NICs are compatible and a newer AP wouldn’t be free.

Perhaps talk to the landlord about splitting the cost of getting Ethernet professionally run in all rooms. It may be the most cost effective solution, but the drawback is you walk away with nothing. The landlord would be able to advertise Ethernet ready infra, so there is some benefit for them to do it.

But see, the truly smart scammer would have a potentially decent coin and name it maga-coin. They’re looking for anything except government currency…the super scam, or is it?

Send nukes. That may hold off the aliens long enough for Jeff Goldblum and Slappy Smith to get in there.

That is one busy BBC. I’m wondering what the man attached to it is into.

“Microsoft is pivoting its company culture to make security a top priority…”

The fact that this had to be stated is a testament to garbage leadership. Notice it’s not even the top priority, just a top priority. These guys will still get bonuses of course.

Damn man, Tiger looks higher than hell in that pic.

You got a club? Maybe a nine iron? How about some mayo and a few lacrosse balls?

I will definitely make you understand that input variable.

They filled the truck beds with a bunch of fish. It’s actually cod racing.

We’ll definitely start calling it X now, definitely.

Yep, I’m speaking in generalities. Overall, my point is that a homelab doesn’t need something expensive because it may not be heavily used, so most of those features are not necessary. If the guy had mentioned running a business or customers, that’d be a different story.

You even had to qualify your own statement that one has to modify hard drive power consumption to achieve acceptable noise levels.

I had a SIEM running on a mini-pc like a champ. It cost me fifteen bucks and taught me a lot. Build to requirement, not title.

Bear in mind, a system that is built to be a dedicated server will be meant to crunch data. That means 2 things:

• loud fans

• heavy electricity use

If you just want a lab, I suggest getting a desktop PC and loading a server OS on it. Practical hardware experience isn’t too valuable because platforms change and they usually make them super simple to maintenance with lots of online support. Getting a desktop will also save you some bread on initial investment.

Exactly. The use-case dictates requirements, then you build according to that. Will this work for a camera system? With the right drive(s) added, sure. Would this run something graphics intensive very well? Not particularly.

I tilt my head up and pour milk into my mouth, then dunk the egg into it. Milk splashes everywhere as I chortle the egg in it’s milk bath. Everyone in the hotel lobby stares in bewilderment as security is called and I’m escorted off the premises and told never to return.

It’s the only way to truly enjoy a Cadbury egg.

“Free speech”

I would learn about mtbf if I were you. Everything has a failure point (generally buried deep in product info), and when you start keeping it on 24/7, the hours will burn. Those fans on your GPU will give it up way before they normally would.

Finding a used server is not a good idea either. You aren’t in a data center and servers are super loud. Also, they chew up electricity like a hungry dog and his dinner.

As others have said, find a used desktop somewhere and a cheap KVM switch so you can use the same peripherals for both. It doesn’t need to be beefy by any measure (maybe drive space), just affordable.
