Wow, you must be rich
I think the reason we aren’t rich is because we do shit like this.
Anyway, I’m off to buy enough HDDs to get me through the end of the month.
it’s this or plastic surgery
I’m too ugly for plastic surgery
Feeling of inadequacy rising…
You must throw sick LAN parties…
I love the fact that you have a favourite switch!
I work in a school and I think you have more stuff than we do lol.

Gah, treasure trove of info. Thank you for sharing! How’s the garage rack holding up? I’m so tempted to put some servers in my garage but the heat can get excessive.
Sweet setup, what’s the reason for the extreme attention to backup power?
I’ve had one unplanned power outage in the last 10 years so it seems like a crazy amount of backup to me.
The grid both is and isn’t unreliable. I’ve not had many random outages, but I have had 2 x day long outages on hot Friday’s when they were replacing power poles, which the generator of course kept me through. Working from home, and being in the Texas heat, that would be bad. And I like many people now have really bad power outage PTSD after the 2021 Texas Freeze where we all lost power. I’ll never let that happen again! And turning everything off is such a hassle, I want it to to all stay on no matter what. Since I work from home, that adds another layer too. Plus, I just like cool things
Yeah that seems kinda crazy to me too. I’ve lived in my current house for 8 years and the only time the power has gone out was when a vehicle crashed into one of the distribution boxes by the road. Our power and internet come from the same provider so it was a double whammy for several hours.
But I suppose it depends where you are - i worked at a place that had two independent power feeds from two different cities, massive UPSs to run the datacenter for 10 minutes and then two redundant diesel generators with several months of fuel on site. I still saw that go down twice in my time there.
When we lived in Missouri the power went out twice ish a year, sometimes more. Amazing how fragile that stuff is when nobody invests in the infrastructure for the town.
I’ve had my power go out around 10 times this year. Gotta love that TX power grid
Yeah but can it host PiHole?
Encrypted mesh networking is cool.
I really think so too, really looking forward to getting it properly deployed
That is definitely overkill, so you must be an enthusiast.
That’s OK. I have a old Dell Poweredge that I use for simply torrenting and backing up everything I ever torrented.
Fucking amazing writeup, I haven’t read it all yet but from what I read there’s a lot of good information and inspiration
Great setup! but is the thumbnail showing as George Takei for anyone else?
What the heck! Not for me. Got a screenshot?
Even in a Discord lol
I am on the floor laughing
Like the idea of multi-room UPS. Question, once the UPS battery run out during a power outage, is there any other type of power generation (Solar, Propane or gasoline) as a backup (aware of the servers will consume more watts than it can generate)?
That’s awesome!
