Dad refused to replace the little homelab I made for their house in 2009. I had to hunt down this 95watt 6 core from china to keep the thing running. Seller messaged me to ask if I knew what the hell I was buying.2yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
“I installed the new CPU boss”. Anyone do any wild modifications with their equipment? Surely several engineers and electrical magicians here.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
Worklabbing at home. Client asked for a photo. *Grabs handful of patch cables* “Yeah it’s ready!”. (AT&T box is hollow, UPS is a blu-ray drive lol)1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
Hernia you say, doc? Grab my rolly chair. I have antiquated hardware to install.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
Did Amazon just suggest my new PSU for the Old Game PC=New Server? Maybe I’m dumb, but this is new to me.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
Husband thinks this was a wall run gone wrong. Truly, I wanted a quick-access port to the basement. Ope.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
“TWO INCHES MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE!” My husband: “YUUUUUUP SUREEEE DOES!” Anyway, the vertically polarized antennas work better propped up.2yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/HomeNetworking
If you are struggling with energy prices right now, and you have some control over your load times; You might consider variable hourly pricing. I got a bill credit for processing MKV’s at 4am.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
Though I occasionally have negative (paid to use) electricity rates, which caused a bit of a stir here previously. I also wanted to share the part of that program where I decide to shut the rack down for 12 hours. Are server naps a regular thing for any of you these days?1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
Friend asked if I could laser-cut/engrave a design for his gag-worthy RGB setup. The answer is yes. My question is, should I offer to cut stuff for rack doors?1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
My husband buys me candy when I’m really busy, and a little stressed. I just realized he thinks I’ve been eating all of it.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/mildlyinteresting
Mandatory Old Screen. I bought this rack to move things OFF the shelf. I ended up with two, my fault. Guess I will be doing like the other guy. Stack’em.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
Tell me what you’d make. Current “idea” was to first install ESXi or something so my husband can keep his windows PLEX setup. He’s the only user, so I have a lot of idle 32GB DDR4, 8 core 9 series i7. Already have a router and firewall on a dedicated machine.2yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
I wish we had this at my client’s Dental Office a long time ago. They have suffered at the hands of the AT&T Box too many times (took a meltdown for them to let me ditch it).1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/firewalla
What is the most ridiculous(ly useful) thing you’ve done with parts that should have been recycled already? Scrubs great now, BTW.2yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
Any fun ideas for this? I don’t have a use for it as a “main” anything, but it’s new and free.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
I don’t even use Netgear anymore. But, it’s bad enough I noticed a trend. FIX YOUR SHIT. People don’t have time for their equipment to reset every time it’s unplugged. Even my 48port prosafe did this. NETGEAR, WHAT THE HELL.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/NETGEAR
Anyone have issues with this? Passes all testing, yet I’m standing in my kitchen and it’s just suddenly... off. Turned right back on like normal with a button press.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
Well, at least I can learn to fix it. I told him don’t tape the ends. Fiber LAN to the Lab another day I guess.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/homelab
AT&T Wi-Fi calling is blocked by default, just a heads up in case you’re working at home like me.1yr ⋅ Tri_Ban_Had ⋅ r/firewalla
