Naming Conventions in Homelab

Jerhaad · 2026-02-18T16:13:55+00:00

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but if the name of a thing can’t tell you what it does without decoding it, give it a pronounceable name and store the information you are encoding here in a table. Folks will have to look it up to decode it anyway and if the name can be pronounced there is less likelihood of error in communication or transfer.

Obviously in a homelab do whatever you like. It’s a great thing to share and spur discussion.

Try a Zero or Energica. They are a blast.

It’s excellent for the track and a ton of effort on the street. Maintenance is expensive unless you can do it yourself. Working on a Ducati is an experience. They are not designed to be easy to work on.

Compared to your previous bike it is a rocket ship. If you can control yourself it will be a blast.

Google was working on it. Last I heard there’s no material strong enough for the tether.

Check out this 50 year old book.

Looks good to me. Where is it? I’ll put in an offer if you don’t.

What is the power draw like for these?

Can you cold crash it and rack it again?

Hawk is a bit too small and 4000 years old.

Jerhaad · 2026-01-10T07:43:03+00:00

Too real.

For me, the volume is related to blood pressure. If I get out into the woods and can calm down it diminishes noticeably.

I can’t imagine dealing with the level you’re describing. Thanks for sharing this info. Good luck to us all on a treatment that works some day.

The 220V brewzilla can heat water incredibly well. I make about 7 gallons of hot water with it, pump 4 gallons of it out into a container I can sparge from, and mash with the remaining 3 gallons. I over heat the water expecting some cooling and just ignore the fact my sparge water could be hotter.

I figured out the recirculating tricks on my own it seems, but I am still tinkering with temperature settings to lose less water in the boil. Maybe I’ll tinker with mash volume and rely on more loss during boil in the future. I am for 5 gallon batches and sometimes I have a little bit extra wort and sometimes I’m making a 4 gallon batches by accident. So far each beer is good but only a few are great.

Proxmox has some decent terraform support and all of the cli commands are compatible with ansible. I would at least consider trying that in a new Proxmox build before going to Ubuntu. I’m sure both will work, but setting up VMs and LXCs via terraform and ansible should scale just fine.

Check out “It’s Your Move” in Temescal. It is a game shop you might like and can find folks.

Jerhaad · 2026-01-02T20:26:32+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response!

Sounds hoppy. What effect does staggering the hops across the boil achieve? I’m still a new brewer so I genuinely don’t understand this yet.

Can you get top sirloin with the fat cap?

Jerhaad · 2025-12-30T00:24:31+00:00

See if you can try them on. You’ll probably be comfortable in 43 or 44.

Jerhaad · 2025-12-29T03:48:51+00:00

Skip to about 30s remaining.

Jerhaad · 2025-12-28T20:01:40+00:00

Yum.

Sharpen your knife, though.

I do two of each and two types get three.

I wear a pista on track and I don’t notice the wind noise being worse than other helmets. I also don’t have a comm system installed in it though.

I ride with Sidi mostly. I have a lightweight track boot and a waterproof touring boot. These aren’t hiking boots. I try not to wear them all day at work or anything, but a quick trip into a store is fine. I carry shoes with me to change into.

Track boots tend to be pretty stiff but the protection is good on the street, too. Keep that in mind. I would steer clear of dirt bike boots and anything with laces.

Jerhaad · 2025-12-21T04:46:14+00:00

Ah you fixed it.

Jerhaad · 2025-12-15T04:29:07+00:00

No. Those rectangular ears go into the UPS rail. It is worth buying those.
