everyone is aware of my existence.

that sounds awful, you have my condolences

It’s probably a safe assumption that the greatest majority of the rest of the world will be unaware of your existence. Just don’t be a dick to your inner circle and immediate outer circle and you’re probably good.

poop they/them in jail

Thank you. I have a handful of things populating this rack:

• Dell PowerEdge R730xd running Unraid. Mostly acts as data server, with a handful of Docker services for the home.
• Custom gaming server. Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5090, running Bazzite.
• UniFi UDM SE router + USW Pro HD switch + U7 Pro XG access point. 10gb SPF+ fiber ports go BRRR.
• ThinkServer RS140, circa 2014. Has a capture card in it, and it’s sole purpose is a headless analog video capture server, running antiX.
• RetroTINK 4k + Kramer A/V switcher. Upstream of the RS140.
• A cheap Panasonic VCR, while I get my new dedicated deck serviced.
• CyberPower OR2200PFCRT2U 2000VA UPS. I need to see about getting a second one.
• 4x Pi rack. One bay has a PiKVM in it that can be patched into whatever headless server I may need to at the moment. A second bay has a 4B in it that’s waiting for a PoE hat, so that I can turn it into a wifi hotspot that backs up my dashcam footage while my car is in the garage.

Maybe some other stuff I’m forgetting.

I watched ads for local companies liquidating server rooms, and walked away with a 42u Dell rack for a pretty good bargain. Took a couple months of monitoring though.

Mate.

Jokes aside, speaking of Yorkshire, I think the Hull accent is so oddly sexy.

I hate to split hares BUT UHHH

This is a repost.

This is Wendy’s.

'ave a loicense for that gorill-er?

And the brain part?

Oh, I uhh… also bought a Panasonic AG-1980 SVHS deck. Those that know, know.

This might dictate some changes to my hardware setup, and see me eventually remove the TINK and the Magewell HDMI capture card from the mix, in a move towards SDI. TBD.

I recently revived a circa-2014 Thinkserver with a core install of antiX, and was pleasantly surprised. I went for the smallest footprint possible by installing only the core distro, and then choosing the packages I wanted/needed.

This is ableist.

You’re preaching to the choir, but I’d also suggest you have poor social skills.

I wanna talk a moment about Earl Grey.

My whole life I avoided it, because I assumed from the floral scent of the leaves, that it must taste like ass.

I recently bought a box on some sort of unexplainable whim.

It is such a wonderful late afternoon pick-me-up!

Christopher Walken. The exception would be maybe Sleepy Hollow, but only because he didn’t have any lines.

Sometimes I feel like women only want me for my BWC.
