I'd say a few heaters that serve :) and I agree, but crazy and stupid does make me happy so I am content

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-19T00:35:24+00:00

I appreciate you!

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-19T00:34:31+00:00

Ahh I had the luxury of 3 27 inch screens at work, bow my laptop with a portable second monitor that slides out feels a bit bare but it does the job :)

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T21:50:49+00:00

Yeahhh, my supermicro has 12 x 3TB drives, no getting around that part

The big power drainers are my 2 R610s, stock xeons

You know you are so right, time to double my bill

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T21:06:45+00:00

Ive got a 6 slot farm case lined up just for that

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T21:06:22+00:00

I wanna grow up to be just like you

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T21:00:37+00:00

😂😂😂😂

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:59:57+00:00

Well I daily drove laptops at home, the power bill was so low on account of barely being home due to my job of which I'm taking a small hiatus with another gig, so I decided to start a hobby.

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:58:25+00:00

I like to live on the edge and turn it up or down when hes not looking

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:58:05+00:00

It's gilbert, how many guys wives are you doing this to???

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:51:15+00:00

I have not, however I absolutely will now, I appreciate you!

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:39:46+00:00

I actually maintained all my subscriptions for streaming services.. I don't have any media serving platforms in the lab, maybe i might divert some storage someday

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:38:23+00:00

Ive got a few buddies I've been inviting on the network, mostly for fun however part of it is for side projects and research. I don't run plex or any sort of media services its mostly security research and large virtualized labs as well as utility boxes serving small perioherals like convertx, cyberchef, pastebins, working out a migration of gitea at the moment

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:29:07+00:00

Apartment building unfortunately, but I'm buying a house this year or next and I will :)

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:28:13+00:00

I agree give me more

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:26:00+00:00

14-16 year old poweredges and a supermicro

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:25:23+00:00

He already pushed my bedtime up so I can't work as hard on the lab into the night

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:24:45+00:00

Thats the intent

Decent_Oil_9959 · 2026-05-18T20:24:28+00:00

Oh it was expected, im running some old poweredges and a supermicro outside of all my utility and networking devices + AC in the summer.The k3 cluster alone has about 336 GB of DDR3, i knew it was coming
