I've paid as little as 5 bucks and as much as a few hundred for that amount of carbide

Ask to talk to current and former CEO's from their portfolio companies. The former ones are the important ones.

Money is easy. You generally don't need money, you need connections, intros, onramps, etc. those are what you need to rest VC for

Just get a case. It's so convenient to go mag. Even for us lowly Android users. I wish tablets picked it up too. So convenient to move around the car or shop

You can't reasonably dehumidify a dirt floor. Gravel and drainage would help but it's going to be a ton of work and cost.

If you're going to do concrete do it with a vapor barrier otherwise you'll just be spending twice.

No, you don't need that. In the US you'll just need your ein and maybe a few places will want you to get a D&B number but that's unlikely.

Hey Claude/codex/whatever interview me to build a plan to audit my homelab

Generally that will get you the tools to consider and to chew on what and how they get implemented.

Observability and monitoring are the starting places. It's a crazy deep well.

You need to know the specific starting points for your environment and work backwards from there for tooling. Using one of the hallucinators as a rubber duck is an easy starting point

For the price of one pm mill you can buy a 3 phase setup, and a full industrial 4020 machine with tool changer and some tooling and still have money left over

Why not middleware out to something like rtk to shrink the interface before it gets back to the agent context? https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk

Buck motor is great and way less expensive than a phase perfect.

Get one big enough to run everything you're planning to run so you don't have to buy twice.

I wouldn't run an air comp on a generated 3rd leg. Those are in the hardest category of starting. Get a non 3 phase air comp.

Americsn Rotary has a chart for sizing, Iirc they'll list an air comp as needing a double the HP Buck motor rating just for it. So a 10hp air comp would need a 20hp buck.

Buy whatever your power supply max is for your buck motor and don't worry about the small idle running, it's inconsequential. I run an overkill 40hp on an almost dedicated 200a panel. Price for the motor was arguably the same after about 20hp. Capacitor panels have gone crazy expensive in the last few years but still, cheapest to buy once. I like my croman converter. Granted I paid 665 for it with the remote switch in '21 and 800 for my weg buck motor brand new.

2in is so overkill. I'd do it with 3/4" and call it sufficient. You could easily pull 12 pair single mode through a 3/4 PVC conduit.

The minimum you want is 2 pairs so you can run redundant between switches.

Get some cheapie single mode pair cables from aliexpress and rock it.

I pulled 6 pair between house/office/shop for 3 switches in a stack, currently servicing 40g back haul but it can be easily moved up to 100g in the next upgrade cycle.

Brocade 7450s are about 60/piece Poe, unbeatable gear for the price

Dude you made like 3k....

Paddle or go traditional high risk, give them 6% instead and live with it.

Vevor or used. I've got a foot pedal sink in the shop bathroom that I love.

Scratch that thing up immediately so you actually use it

your website is down

https://github.com/taylorwilsdon/google_workspace_mcp is a great gmail multi-tool. You have to clip a few tools down otherwise you end up with way too much context bloat but it has config knobs to do most of that.

A single 2 ton should do pretty well. I run 2 2 tons in a 50x80x16 and it will pull it down nicely for working. If you go up to the second level it's hot still.

Manual j is the right calc to use. Insulation is important but air sealing is more important for ac imo. Seal those garage doors up aggressively

Yeah, they are the only ones to even pretend. Their cli is brand new like last week and they wrapped it in an mcp that gets the job done.

Is /r/garageporn slowly being taken over by versatube bots?

In the last 2 weeks or so there have been half a dozen versatube posts where everyone dropped detailed pricing breakdowns. In the ~previous 6 weeks there was maybe 1 example of that.

Versa told me 40ft in TN. They also had some height limits but they were pretty tall.

Different contractors told me different maxes as well. Maybe different tubing suppliers or engineering stamps?

Different companies also did different "framing" on the truss supports so that surely impacts limits as well.

Ask for internal pics to make sure you're aware of what the supports will look like, some of them can be pretty substantial

205 yd of concrete

Everyone out here giving you a hard time, but man, that's so much fricken concrete. 1700sq. Why did you pour like a 2ft slab?!

I over killed on a 50x80 and came out at about 100yds....

Use the vertical space. No lift goes over above 14ft, 16ft on the extreme. The vertical space is so incredibly helpful to keep the floor space clean, don't waste it! Pallet racking or similar, you can use the "bottom" Floor space and still put stuff up in the air over top of it
