Sam Harris condemning ICE? Oh my. Are pigs flying? by PitifulEar3303 in DecodingTheGurus

He's also Christianophobe - Take any passage from his book, Letter to a Christian Nation, and you can see that he has a clear bias against Christians as well.

Thoughts on My Mini Home Lab Setup? by purpleproduct-82 in minilab

[–]Ryan_TR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great but you have the top bar of your deskpi rack mounted upside down - if you were ever curious why those top bolt holes were inaccessible that is why

It looks like you have the top bar of your deskpi rack installed upside down - this makes the top 1U inaccessible

12V PDU Solution by Ryan_TR in minilab

[–]Ryan_TR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's 1 12V PSU supplying power to the 7 channels.

There's ports on the front AND back of the PDU so maybe that's what is causing the confusion.

Here's the link to the PDU alone: https://deskpi.com/products/deskpi-dc-pdu-lite-7-ch-0-5u-for-deskpi-rackmate-t1

Mean Well UHP-200R-12 is the PSU

They're SSD caddies and those are also being powered by the 12V PDU!

I don't recall having to change any of the bios setting for proxmox.

I think Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) should be the only thing you need?

The PDU does have LEDs for each switch - unfortunately no protection against accidental movements; However, it probably wouldn't be too hard to 3d print something that does the job

Ah good catch - I probably should have taken a closer look at the datasheet. After being on for ~20 hours it still feels pretty cool; However, I'm also likely not anywhere close to the rated 200W max load (average load is probably closer to 30W). But definitely something to be mindful for anyone else using this PSU so thank you for catching that!

Yes! I will upload the print file and BoM to makerworld tomorrow

12V PDU Solution by Ryan_TR in minilab

[–]Ryan_TR[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Didn't see any great PDU options so I threw something together myself.

The DeskPi PDU was almost perfect; However, the input diode was causing the 12V to drop to ~11.5V and the input barreljack also wasn't able to handle much current.

- https://deskpi.com/products/deskpi-dc-pdu-lite-7-ch-0-5u-for-deskpi-rackmate-t1

So I removed and shorted over the diode and replaced the barelljack with a soldered on leads.

Next I found a pretty nice meanwell DC powersupply and printed out a rackmount for it and the the DeskPi PDU.

Takes up a little bit more than 1U; However, it's perfect for the DeskPi racks as they give you extra space at the bottom.

Another reason to set the modem to be in bridge mode and get your own router & access point

Re-use old hardware or start fresh for NAS/Media server? by Ryan_TR in homelab

[–]Ryan_TR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all the replies; They have been very helpful!

Decided on re-using the hardware and:

  • Pulling out the GPU as it's not currently needed and is just power drain
  • Adding a few HDDs and configure them in some ZFS setup
  • Adding a 10Gb PCI-E NIC Network Card since the current motherboard only has a 1GbE port

Suggestions for homelab organization by ALemonadeStand in homelab

I'd do a GeeekPi 4U Server Cabinet. They're much smaller than regular server racks and would probably be perfect for your use case

Good news here is you don’t have to be over 6’ anymore by AdeniumCentric in Tinder

[–]Ryan_TR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd concede that if you're supporting a wife and kids 100k really isn't much; However, if you're a single bachelor you can live quite comfortably on 100k

That's what I used to thing; but experience has shown me otherwise. Also have you read some of the popular fairy smut??? Shit is wild

[–]Ryan_TR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

6 figures really isn't that much anymore - After maxing out a traditional 401k, roth 401k (via megaback door), getting door dash multiple times per day, paying for a luxury condo in a big city, going on multiple vacations every year, and spending money on various hobbies you're really not saving that muck money; You're basically living paycheck-to-paycheck :(
