I asked my partner (tradesman) if I could re-run the wiring for 20a, and he said "you're going to read the IEC NFPA 70 guidelines, local electrical code, and write me a proposal before you do that." I'm in deep, I never knew this much went into just running a single outlet, wire and a breaker. 😵‍💫

🤔

New problem, current usage + new batteries are going to draw too much power on 15a circuit. Time to upgrade to 20a 🥴

In other news; man these are DEAD.

Today's job, gut these packs and document assembly!

Whelp, I guess that solves that problem... 😅

Visited “my guy” today, helped him move some stuff around…

*sniffle* wow, she really can hit 1gig throughput. Currently running VEEAM backups and uploading to Backblaze B2.

Small problem, the cute little bars on my UPS units are full (4/4) I think it might be time to seriously consider getting proper UPS units. (2000va+) I've got a 1500va, and a 1300va at the moment, and a smaller 750va for my networking gear. One literally doesn't boot sometimes, so that's fun. 🗿

Something something, these "trying times" something something.

Got my results back today, had me scared there for a bit. They found 2 polyps, but sent them off for pathology, and after waiting anxiously, I was told that they're benign, so that's a relief!

Findings were so-so, no definitive results yet. 🫥

Doing colonoscopy prep today, and holy SHIT this stuff tastes awful. I'm only 2/12 cups in, and just ugh. Thank god I got Zofran beforehand, could have been way worse.

AT LONG LAST, IT’S FINALLY HERE! 🥺

One more note; I have this all on camera, but I can't release anything because it's currently an "active police investigation" so none of that for now. Just, aghhh.

Cackling, dude rolled up to my house this morning post-bail wearing a shit ton of ripped up clothes, a Bluey blanket, and looked like he got the shit beat out of him. Doesn't even apologize, just starts getting pissy and demanding his glasses and boots. 🗿

Even after all that happened last night, I’m glad I got to spend NYE with some of the coolest people I know ❤️ 2026, here we come!

Happy new year, had a couple of firsts at our party tonight, all from one person: - Dude got absolutely shitfaced - Dude groped me - Dude (probably) puked in my guest bath. - Dude assaulted several friends - Dude tried to break into my house - Dude got decked by local PD in my front lawn WHELP 😩

Gotta go fast 💨

Fuuuuutureeeeee!

Is it 1gbit, or 10gbps? make your mind up!!!

Just wanted to drop this total mindblow, I've had this running for ~2 1/2 days, and I've already saved 4TB of space re-encoding all of my media to AV1. H o l y - s h i t.

Yeah, so this won't fit in a R740 lol. A380 it is.

👀

Chat, the ARC B50 is unobtainium right now, but how do we feel about a A770 16GB?

With the power of file optimization, I can hoard even MORE media! I've been working on my media flows, reducing the amount of manual input that I have to perform was a huge thing I wanted to do, but also optimizing my media was another thing I wanted to focus on. I miight have to get another GPU..

hmm, why won't the VM start... ... ... ... 🫨

On the twelfth day of Christmas My true love gave to me... 1 vCenter Certificate Expiration!!!

Fuuuuuttuureeee!!! I can status check my servers from my iPad! Neat!

current RAM prices have me like 😵‍💫

Was doing some rough math, and holy shit, I'm about to hit the 100TB total physical storage mark in my lab. Usable is more towards 35-40TB, but damn, I've come a long way!

Obligatory "stats for the nerds" Dual Xeon Silver 4112's (4c/8t x 2 = 8c/16t) 48GB DDR4 ECC (Looking to bump this to 64 here shortly) Intel 10GBx2 + 1GBx2 Daughter Card (R740 Platform) Arc A310 GPU for Plex Transcodes Running on TrueNAS Scale

New Plex Server is racked :)

Someone just showed me the Xeon Gold 6152's and now I'm jelly. They're $20 more and you get 2 more cores and 4 more threads 😵

Wicked 😎

Bye bye Cloudflare :) I finally got around to completing my migration from Cloudflare to @bunny.net! This final transfer marks the last domain I have with CF! Thanks again @codingpa.ws for recommending Bunny!

Told my dad I have the flu, and he replies with this absolutely right-field comment: What??? How do I even respond to this???

Whew!

One of the most stressful screens known to man:

:(

This year’s #NotSpotifyWrapped

Tip for those attending MFF: You WILL make or break someone’s furry convention experience by doing this

Listen man, I wanted to like the lynx, but then he just HAD TO SCREW IT UP 😭

😇

please, PLEASE play nice! 🙏

Imagine needing Shmaloogles to stop hair loss, pfft.

You know you're desperate when you have to rent a DVD from the library just to watch a show you can't find on usenet. :|
