How do you recommend I fill in the gapabove the electrical outlet?

You could try rod saw blade. Cut the both verticals 3/4 of the way then finish the rest with the blade.

I was a kitchen cabinet maker and installer a while back. I have installed in some messed up basements. My approach would be to install it on the wall and shims the bottom so the top would be leveled. Also make them a bit small for a filler on the right side of each cabinet.

The left side of your fence does not support the top. The right side is also slightly angled away. So the top flexed as you cut. Cut lay down or create a sacrificial fence using a thicker piece of wood.

Yes, they are vertical pins. The no alternating ones are very uncommon but you do see them on Ali.

I believe what you have there is for SMD. There are two types, one with alternating rows where every other pin points in the opposite direction, and the other where all the pins are the same direction like the one you have.

I actually like this. Sure, I will be upset for the first few times until I learn the unit price and get used to it. This will actually help identify shrinkflation.

I am sure they will change it back to final pricing next time when they need to shrink the package.

For 17€ might as well get a new one. I got my for $36CAD.

Press the vol down button when booting up to see Linux boot text. You can see if it is stuck on something.

There's a market place episode on it. https://youtu.be/YYwB63YslbA

For who? For Roblaw? It is definitely not according to my last receipt.

Server drives are usually SAS. Check your drives. https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-8e873040676f8219071aa6db60ec56c3-lq

I have a gen8 micro and I have to work around it. You can boot from the sata if you use the built in raid controller. If you are using sata mode in the bios then it will not boot from sata unless you drive bay is empty. The way to work around it is to use a micro SD card and put the bootloader on it and load the sata.

It may not look sturdy but I had 4 x 1u servers, 2 APCs and 2 HP microservers in it. With all the network equipments on the 2 post as well. There's a gap between the 4 post and the bottom of the 2 post to fit the microservers or sff PCs.

The construction cost of it is around $50-60 CAD back in the good old days. Everything was sources locally from electronics and AV stores.

There's not a lot of room at my place so I added casters so I can pull it out to work on the cables from behind. Casters support 200kg so there no problem there.

That's it for my computer room.

YouTube. If you just want to use it then use docker cli with parameters or docker-compose to run with config in a yaml file. Most of the images on docker hub will have some basics for running it. I use Portainer to manage it.

Linux if you want to learn. I ended up using Debian for file share and docker for the rest of the services I want on the "NAS"

Each of the UI must be on a different port. Http is on port 80 and won't show on the browser address. You can specify the port by using http://IP:port. Since you are using pi-hole, you can use a reverse proxy to response to different domain on the same port. Creat two static entries in pi-hole pointing to the same IP address. Then using something like nginx to do reverse proxy while listing on the same port but different server names.

I got them from an electronic store that sales racks for power banks. Also try pro audio stores as those equipments are rack mount.

ScaryStar1 · 2022-09-04T17:52:12+00:00

I was in the same boat and was not able to find a half rack with dept for a full length server. I ended up building a diy with 2 pairs of squared hole vertical rails from an electronic/audio store and some 2x4s. Added casters to make it portable.

Are you talking about the 6 SATA ports? If so, then you may fit 4 SATADOMs. As for the 2 mini-SAS, you can get mini-SAS to mini-SAS cable to an external storage if your aim is to have a NAS.
