Those are fun. BOOM!

It takes time for approvals and the general clusterfuck of decision-making. I’m not defending it, just what I see.
Money has been spent, budgets committed, etc. Think of it like steering a large ship. You may turn the wheel immediately, but the ship will take time to adjust it’s course.
He should feel like a proud papa. Hell, they should call it RFK jr.
Oh good, I wouldn’t want to escape the barrage of ads, ever.
This has all the makings of a bad zombie movie.
If you can lay flexible material directly onto the roof, perhaps it can just be the roof, replacing traditional shingles.
It’ll be expensive at first until it’s in wide production, assuming it gets that far without a big flaw being found.
You guys just now figured out the conservative element has gone astray from it’s original meaning? Which part did it? The big coal rolling trucks? The absolute denial that there’s a problem with the environment? Ohhhhh, it was the orange moron giving Elon the hover-hand because even American-made EVs are yucky?
No, never heard of them. Will take a gander, thanks!
As someone who’s using a Chromecast but misses the speed and quality of their Roku Ultra (fuck Roku), I’m looking forward to one of these.
At this rate, they’ll have a crowd of striking people outside their office in no time!
Managed switches are the way to go. I have various segments and none talk to each other.
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?
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.
We’ve upset the great captioned mind! Run for it Marty!
So then… Laxative and boner-pill ads all day long? Maybe mix in some Geritol here and there?
