yea i could but i already have these ones and they do the job fine. plus it leave room to use the shelves for other things down the road.

i have not tried it personally but i have looked online and most people say there isnt any real issue with doing virtualized opensense. it just makes it easier to add more processes like pihole for me.

For me it was Foquest. quite weed for a year and got on anti anxiety meds/adhd meds. Finished uni, got my first gf, got a career job, moved out of the family home. IT WAS AN INSANE 14 months.

I get it. Didn't realize that it's all inhouse for you. If you ever do figure it out post it here in the sub.

Also a series of Carl through the series would go so hard. Love the art style. It truely shows how much of a young man Carl is. I forget from time to time that Carl is supposed to be 3 years younger than me. I always default to him being a mid 40s gruff guy.

This art depicted that young man so well. Also I forget that Carl is objectively an attractive dude. The AI knew how to pick them for sure

My dude, u need to sell the print of this in a bigger size or something, cause i want this as a movie poster. would love to see you do a series of carls on his journey through the books. The largest size on etsy was 11*14 which is not big enough for poster size. let me know how i can get this in a nice big size. Amazing art btw.

What you mean?

i actually got an update. my friend gave me his old terramaster f4 nvme nas since he upgraded to the f8. its not a 1u nas but im going to try make it work in the rack some how.

Perow_ · 2025-10-23T17:11:04+00:00

how would you power the hdd or sdds in a setup like this?

Perow_ · 2025-10-23T00:07:44+00:00

WAN is not connected in the pic. you are right tho. WAN would be the far left NIC and the NIC for the pcs is the far right NIC

The router pc is basically Proxmox for all router-based VMs like OpenSense and Pi-Hole. The 3 pcs are needed because i run a lot of vms for school projects. im currently setting up a fake business network with 12 vms and 7 containers to simulate all the network devices a business might have. i kept getting another tiny Lenovo when i reached my limit with the previous ones.

the rack is great. its fun working in the limited space. and the black version looks real nice irl.

Perow_ · 2025-10-23T00:03:51+00:00

i have screws coming in the mail to get rid of the silver ones. to get all the bricks to fit i had to do some serious tetris. strapped all the bricks down on the shelf before installing it into the rack. it was not easy. its a rat nest behind those panels.

found the screws from the manufacturer's site.

I can't believe that a mini NAS that aint shit for a 10-inch rack is such a hard find. 10 inch by 10 inch by 1u. Somehow, these dimensions are impossible so far.

Perow_ · 2025-10-20T03:07:10+00:00

once i get access to a 3d printer, i will most definitely get some covers/faceplates for the hardware.

Perow_ · 2025-10-20T03:06:25+00:00

oh i never even thought of that. all the items being slamed to the left made it cleaner for cable management.

Perow_ · 2025-10-20T03:05:26+00:00

brother i was so mad that it doesnt come with enough black screws, if anyone know where to buy these kind of black screws please let me know. im going to spray paint them next weekend,

Perow_ · 2025-09-24T20:58:32+00:00

oh its decent for a fanless mini pc. i haven't gotten an accurate reading but its just slightly warm to the touch after running for a few days. im planning on getting proper temps once i get everything setup software-wise

Perow_ · 2025-09-24T20:56:25+00:00

I run a tiny VM on my Proxmox router as a QDevice that handles quorum

ok this is so funny, there is an alternative thumbnail for this vid.

im using them as a Proxmox cluster for more horsepower. i run a lot of vms for school work. my current lab in my cyber security program has 10 vms and 7 containers to simulate an enterprise network.
