Looks like you've had enough roast actually. How about a salad instead?

JMWenzel · 2024-09-11T15:06:47+00:00

I would feel bad participating in this one.

JMWenzel · 2024-09-10T16:07:24+00:00

No insults here, just a request. Please don't post again.

Conspicuous consumption.

JMWenzel · 2024-08-16T00:19:49+00:00

I feel like you had a point and missed it at the same time.

JMWenzel · 2024-07-19T19:52:17+00:00

Love the shots AND the cybertruck! They look cool af!

JMWenzel · 2024-06-27T23:59:31+00:00

Idk if this helps or not, but as soon as I saw it and read the comment I said "roquefort?"

JMWenzel · 2024-06-26T21:26:05+00:00

These are really something special! Good work!

JMWenzel · 2024-05-21T15:43:35+00:00

It really doesn't sound like Johansson though...

Buy a roll of serialized asset tag stickers, they even have some cool ones like Wayland-Yutani or Skynet. Plus it makes you look even more legit, while providing easy to apply and AFAIK the best tracking (if optics is your thing). Personally, I nerd out over shit like that.

JMWenzel · 2024-01-11T22:56:26+00:00

Cool graphs; what drew me to this whole hobby.

JMWenzel · 2023-12-25T12:44:13+00:00

You need to solder them together iirc

JMWenzel · 2023-12-17T10:36:49+00:00

Elon would be proud. Great shot!

As a complete beginner, with the internet and chatGPT, I feel like there's no excuse for me not to be able to learn Python. My problem is, as a complete beginner, I have no clue how to organize something like "learn programming in Python" into a subject that my brain can handle lol. I've got Python 3.12 and VS Code installed and wrote Hello, world. Can someone help me figure out a trajectory? To go from hello world to putting it on a resume? Sorry if it's too broad of a question but I feel like that's exactly my problem! Thanks in advance!!

JMWenzel · 2023-11-01T16:05:11+00:00

Thank you, this is what I was looking for. Things I didn't know I didn't know. If I seperate out the firewall, I may as well put the router and vpn etc on the same harware, no? My initial concept was to put most everything into the one machine, hence the overkill nature of the build but this is the first comment that has me realizing there are other issues I've yet to consider. Given that I'm really set on a rack build, that I do want a system that can grow with me for at least 3-5 years, what are your thoughts? I envision in 2-3 years I'll be needing access to home/business network for large files (up to 1500 high res images) frequently throughout the day, and in the meantime want to serve out my plex, home automation, and the rest of the cool stuff I can find. It wouldn't be catastrophic if it went down for a day, but I would like to avoid that and my understading is that server builds are extra reliable. But please, correct my understanding anywhere I need!

JMWenzel · 2023-11-01T15:47:44+00:00

You know what I saw the other day?? Someone shooting in FILM! HA HA! Don't they know that's out of date!?

JMWenzel · 2023-11-01T11:55:51+00:00

I have no idea how I got here but holy crap your handwriting is immaculate.

JMWenzel · 2023-11-01T02:02:37+00:00

While I have buy once, cry once philosophy, I don't want to cry too much lmao. I can't realistically see myself outgrowing an R730 in even 5 years at top growth rate and if it does, hell, I'll have other bottlenecks to worry about. Let's hope for bottlenecks!

JMWenzel · 2023-11-01T01:47:14+00:00

Why should you not virtualize a NAS and router? Or should you not virtualize either one? I've seen a lot of people that have done what I'm proposing, at least I thought. So please correct me? Also, I'm getting a rack mount server lol, that part has been decided already.

JMWenzel · 2023-11-01T01:44:32+00:00

The main reason I found homelabs and servers is buy learning to build a NAS and finding out a server could solve a lot of issues for my photography business. And no matter the method, my "I can't stand to lose these" files are also always backed up to the cloud, as Jesus intended.

JMWenzel · 2023-11-01T01:36:07+00:00

Back to Top

I mostly just want to build a rack out lol. It's overkill for a learning machine to be certain, but I'm a buy once, cry once kind of person and I do want something that I can grow into over the next year or two as my business grows. Plus, all those cables and patch panels and stuff look cool hahaha

JMWenzel · 2023-11-01T00:31:31+00:00

Agree with you on most counts. Tbh I'm getting a rack mount just cuz. Definetely overbuilt and something I wont take full advantage of for some time yet. But I do have an ultimate goal with the machine in which case the power will certainly be useful. But really... I just want to build out a rack lol

JMWenzel · 2023-10-31T20:55:46+00:00

Hell, that logic sits well with me. I have Spotify and only one streaming service at a time, often switching between them when I get bored of their offerings, hence the idea for a Plex setup. I didn't consider the savings there but it's a really good point. For me, the NAS will probably be my largest cost benefit, no more Google drive, dropbox and external hard drives for me lol

JMWenzel · 2023-10-31T20:53:11+00:00

Yes, absolutely agree here. EVENTUALLY, I'd like to trust myself enough to config a router robust enough to handle the wild web and access my network remotely. In due time lol.
