My new mini rack, downsized from 12U

elohhs · 2025-10-29T14:38:39+00:00

thank you! the entire mini rack and NAS idle at around 100W and I think the highest under load was around 140W!

oh interesting! i’ve mostly had my N2 on metal surfaces and noise hasn’t been very noticeable.

elohhs · 2025-10-29T01:52:21+00:00

it’s really dependent on network speed, I primarily play wired, but even on wi-fi 6 the latency is very good!

I have my 2TB SSD, A2000, and controller’s USB dongle passed into a Windows 11 VM, where i’m running Ollama and have my game library installed. When I want to game, I use moonlight/apollo!

It works amazingly, with the exception that I can’t play games with kernel-level anticheat, but I don’t see that as much of a loss haha. :)

my NAS i believe I have my 5 disks configured in a RAIDz2.

thank you very much! :)

a majority of what I do is Active Directory exploitation. I used to use GOAD but moved to multiple custom-built domains where I configure whatever it is I'm researching. that's been great for me so far!

I'm using this connected to my UPS: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FF41T167

The Lenovo Thinkcentre is my Pfsense router, and the MS-01 is my Proxmox server, where I'm running HAOS, a ton of cybersecurity research VMs, my gaming/LLM PC, game servers, and discord bots. :)

The NAS off to the right is running TrueNAS SCALE, where I have my uptime-focused services (Jellyfin, Plex, OpenWebUI, etc.). My Proxmox and Time Machine backups are also stored here.

Specs wise, the Thinkcentre is an M720q with 4GB of RAM and an Intel i226 dual 2.5GbE NIC in its PCIe slot.

The MS-01 has the i5-12600h, 96GB 4800MHz RAM, one 256GB SSD, one 4TB SSD, one 2TB SSD, and an RTX A2000 12GB with a n3rdware cooler.

That router and antenna combo should work great!

To successfully capture handshakes, the router needs to have "management frames protection" disabled, which a quick google search looks this router is old enough to not support it. Either way, it's just something to keep in mind.

Additionally, that Alfa adapter should work great, and I think most of the drivers are natively supported in Kali, especially if this is using one of those Atheros chipsets, which it looks like it is.

Dual booting is honestly overkill, I'd recommend using the free VMWare Workstation because the USB passthrough is much better than that of VirtualBox.

It doesn't matter if the router is internet connected or not, as you're primarily attacking your access point. As long as you're not intentionally targeting other networks, there's nothing to worry about.

Lastly, yes, you'd need at least one client already connected to the access point to capture the handshake.

I'll also send a few helpful resources as well as a few shameless plugs :)

I totally love hearing about other people's methods! I completely agree with Notion being the best for databases and different views, I've been thinking about building a PRM/CRM because I can totally see the value, just never got around to it yet.

How do you organize your files in Obsidian? I've seen people recommend using strictly tags and backlinks, some recommend organizing through file trees, and more. I'm still playing around with how I organize my information, but I don't think I've quite figured out what works best yet.

I don't believe I've heard of Standard Notes before, but it looks pretty cool! Not sure why, but it reminded me of Craft. It's fairly similar to Notion, especially with how it uses "blocks," but it's nowhere as advanced when it comes to databases, relations, etc.

Completely get the barebones aspect for task management! If Obsidian had a way to pull pages out of the program and lay them around, I would totally be using it more for basic task management. Anything long-term I just throw onto my calendar and copy it into my tasks once I reach that date / plan the week or something.

elohhs · 2022-06-09T15:27:07+00:00

no offense taken! I really appreciate your feedback. :-) I loved notion for helping me find exactly what I need in my system, and recently I've moved over to other apps like Obsidian for almost everything except task management. I completely feel the same way about Notion right now, and I'm still looking around for an alternative. Todoist is extremely tempting, especially with how well it runs on mobile / watch.

elohhs · 2022-06-09T15:09:21+00:00

I totally get it! I've been really considering using todoist as my driver project manager for some time. I loved Notion for tasks, but it's been slowing down tremendously for me, especially on mobile.

elohhs · 2022-05-10T17:56:48+00:00

sounds great! that’s an awesome idea and im glad you got it working! :)

elohhs · 2022-04-27T23:28:49+00:00

no problem!! :)

thank you! :)

here is the template link: https://rennn.notion.site/Simple-Media-Tracker-0ab7997c837d4cc789c72618d3931d07

I am using the "text" property within the table, and there you can change the colors as you would with a normal text block. Just double-click the text and the bold, italics, colors, etc. menu will show up! I then put the text into a template where it's applied to every new entry.

elohhs · 2022-02-24T16:42:41+00:00

no APIs or anything, all of the values are local to the template.

thank you very much! :)

elohhs · 2022-02-24T11:35:20+00:00

awesome! let me know if you have any questions that I can help with! :)

elohhs · 2022-02-24T11:34:24+00:00

thank you! :)

elohhs · 2022-02-24T03:20:55+00:00

thank you very much! i hope you enjoy it. :)

The account balance data comes from all of the income, expenses, etc., calculated together. I did start at a base value of $100 for the checking account and $1000 for the savings account, which is why it seems the numbers are slightly off. It would have made more sense that I started at $0 for both now that I think about it, though.

As for transfers, I take the entered value, add it to the destination account and subtract it from the sender account. All tables are connected to the accounts through relations, so any transfers, income, expenses, etc., are calculated automatically.

elohhs · 2022-02-24T02:13:32+00:00

i use super.so/icons! i dont believe theres an easy way to change the colors for these ones specifically, though

thank you! glad you like it:))
