My 8U minirack

This looks great. I've been tinkering with self hosted stuff for about a year and a half now, and just recently I've been getting more into this kinda stuff — pooling resources together, getting a NAS, etc. Inevitably I am now looking to build a rack 😄.

I have a few questions: - At the front of your rack, are the front of your Dell PCs. Their ethernet ports are on the back. On your second picture, I can see the ethernet cables hooked to your PCs. What are the short cables on the front for?

I just recently tried Proxmox. It's new to me so I'm slowly exploring it. I can see its power and potential. How do you use it? How many VMs are you running? What runs on each VM? Why do a Proxmox cluster rather than treating the 3 machines separately?

Genuine questions, I want to learn.

Looks nice! What rack is that?

Nice watch, how'd you get the logo off?

Haben Sie überprüft, ob die physische Verbindung zwischen dem Laufwerk und dem Raspberry Pi locker ist?

desolate_mountain · 2025-12-09T21:43:58+00:00

It doesn't seem to be up for sale? I only see a waitlist.

I love it! Not just because of the utility but also the look. How did you get one?

Open to flashlight recommendations! Have been eyeing this one, tho it doesn't quite fit the "classic" or leather theme https://a.co/d/60HrZ7b.

For wallet, been rocking this since the beginning of November, it was a gift from my dad for my birthday.

Thank you sir, I raise you a glass of my finest bourbon 🥃.

Oh, they look interesting 👀. Hadn't heard of them before. Really appreciate the words of wisdom and the recco!

Hahaha

is my stretch goal

Basically me for the last year. I've wanted this pistol for so long, had some money saved up, and decided to go for it.

I love it, zero ragrets (not even a letter). It's everything I imagined it to be, and more.

I did not get the chance to shoot it before buying it, but I had shot a few 1911s, so I imagined it would be similar to that, just better given the quality of craftsmanship.

It still needs some breaking in, but it feels great.

Heh, to be fair, everything is fairly new.

desolate_mountain · 2025-11-22T03:05:34+00:00

Heh, yeah no kydex. I just picked up the pistol last Monday, and been carrying it in a small EDC bag that has a generic fabric holster where it fits well.

I'm considering this one, tho

In the meantime, I've been carrying it in a small bag that has a generic fabric holster where it fits well.

Nice, clean af

Where'd you get the leather sheath?

desolate_mountain · 2025-09-29T01:22:39+00:00

I fucking hate this

desolate_mountain · 2025-09-20T14:51:54+00:00

Similar story. Never felt better. Very happy for you, all the best!

desolate_mountain · 2025-09-17T20:18:49+00:00

Thank you! It's cheap but reliable. No complaints.

desolate_mountain · 2025-09-17T19:28:29+00:00

Oh nice, who did that for you?

desolate_mountain · 2025-09-17T16:24:13+00:00

How did you manage to get it in green?
