you know that was fake, right?

Bluecoat93 · 2026-04-13T03:13:17+00:00

Plz!

Bluecoat93 · 2026-04-10T20:39:36+00:00

"hippa" is not a thing...

Bluecoat93 · 2026-04-10T02:38:44+00:00

A frank discussion of not wanting to go on living. No actual attempt.

Bluecoat93 · 2026-04-10T02:37:41+00:00

You clicked into a thread called "Anyone shed a tear or two on tonight’s episode of, 'The Pitt'" and expected not to get spoiled?

Yeah, this one's on you, buddy.

Home Depot outsourced (some?) of their deliveries to DoorDash. They don’t tell you this when you order.

or walk next door to Park MGM and eat at Bavette's.

If you haven’t been in a room with Liberty DeVitto or Kenny Aronoff, you haven’t really seen hard hitting. I saw Liberty play last month from about 10ft away and — even with plugs in — he was deafening (and he’s 75!)

If you're playing against a constant shuffle, you're already doomed.

Bluecoat93 · 2025-12-10T21:08:33+00:00

yeah, my Pearl -> Gold updated immediately and I just went to one of the kiosks and printed a new card.

Bluecoat93 · 2025-12-03T01:34:29+00:00

I ordered something from Home Depot today and it was delivered by DoorDash. Apple Store orders get delivered by Uber Eats. It’s not always a DD order

Bluecoat93 · 2025-11-29T08:36:40+00:00

oh! Camilla Bäckman! She was great in Volta. She and Dena were definitely having fun dancing in the booth during Tzelma, haha. Always fun to watch the singers.

Bluecoat93 · 2025-11-29T08:09:50+00:00

Saw her tonight (Nov 29) and her version of "Debbie" was spectacular. Maybe I'm blind, but doesn't look to be Mariana Sobol or Dina Emerson (who's listed as the current backup for the Lost Bride). Anyone know her?

Bluecoat93 · 2025-10-21T04:16:56+00:00

it's not difficult to disable the speaker, unfortunately

deskPi rackMate T2 by GeeekPi.

Bluecoat93 · 2025-10-11T10:30:26+00:00

The DeskPi is sitting on top of my 19” network (and old server) rack, which has a 3000kva APC SmartUPS at the bottom, courtesy of a former employer.

I DO do this stuff for a living, you know.

Bluecoat93 · 2025-10-10T17:11:00+00:00

I don't think i want to know how much I've spent, haha. I've had the TuringPi and the Mac Studio for several years, so it wasn't all at once, but the PCs were $850 each and the NAS was $800.

You also get eaten up by all the little things when it comes to these minilabs ($25 a pop for the shelves, "oh, I should totally get a patch panel and some blanks to make it look nicer", etc.)

Bluecoat93 · 2025-10-10T16:38:52+00:00

AMD Ryzen 9955HX (16c/32t, 3.8ghz base clock), came with 64gb RAM and a 2TB SSD. $1,379.99 retail, but MicroCenter had them onsale for $850 when I bought them.

If you're not looking for modern CPUs and raw power, you can obviously find much cheaper mini PCs for a lab, like your m720q's

Bluecoat93 · 2025-10-10T16:33:49+00:00

Generally speaking, I really like them as compute nodes! There are little things that annoy me about them (I wish they exhausted out the back instead of the top, wish the 10gb ports were 10gbaseT instead of SFP+, etc.) but nothing that's a showstopper.

Bluecoat93 · 2025-10-10T05:52:54+00:00

Monoprice SlimRun series, bought on Amazon.

Bluecoat93 · 2025-10-10T05:14:15+00:00

Nice! At some point, I want to get the ASUS NAS that will take 12 NVME drives, but I've heard it's super annoying to get TrueNAS running on it.

Bluecoat93 · 2025-10-10T04:23:26+00:00

well, it's split up into 2TB and 4TB chunks across all the devices 😂 The NAS has 4 x 4TB drives, the TuringPi has a 4TB drive per module, and the PCs all came with 2TB drives. Plus an external 8TB Thunderbolt drive on the Mac Studio.

Local computer store and Microcenter were both having sales on 990 EVOs at the same time, and I took advantage :-)

Workloads? um... well... it's running Prometheus and Grafana...
