you what?!

currently reorganizing my own. it’s about 4m x 4m x 2m

I’ll have a combo station for electrical and miniature hand painting. A combo station for post print cleanup and sanding/air brushing. Enclosed insulated and ventilated cabinets for my FDM and MSLA printers. print medium storage. chemical storage. tool storage.

I’m also making a space for a small laser cutter/engraver that’s also part of the ventilated cabinet.

I’m also installing a small chem lab that will help me recondition IPA solvents and test/manufacture my own resin recipes.

I’ve also got a drill press and tiny craft tablesaw I need to find a home for.

I’m hopeful to finish it and potentially start streaming some of the crazy ass shit I do.

I did that when Fable came out. When I finally got to the big boss, I whipped his ass so hard I got to keep the sword of aeons without killing my sister.

the real trick is to be a fat ugly American.

my boss does this all the time. I just ignore it.

Usually I point at them aggressively to get their attention and then start miming Gluck glucking to show them how much of a dumb whore I am.

I don’t think it’s working though, usually they just flip me off and look real angry.

I have a fairphone 4. I recommend lineage over e/os due to the encryption lineage comes with plus better overall support.

e/os does get monthly patches, but pretty annoying bugs have been left untouched for years.

careful with those asterisks. sh -it can/*/it

I would start with the NAS first. with a proper NAS and a solid network the storage requirements for the rest of your servers lessens.

for example, I’ve got an off-the-shelf NAS solution that hosts all my movies, music, etc that is mounted via docker in my Plex container on a different server. because it’s usually streaming to four different devices at any given moment, and the torrent’s running against the same NAS, I’m using a 10gbe copper line.

depending on your needs, a 1gbe should suffice.

having a NAS would also help with backups. I have a 5 bay NAS, one of them is dedicated for backups of both servers and cloud storage from the NAS (personal files, tax documents, etc).

also, when building your NAS whatever you think you need, double it. if you think 5tb is enough, you’ll want to get 10tb or even 15tb. I current run 15tb(8tb drives) in a raid 10 with a 20tb backup drive.

this kind of configuration allows me to run 1tb or even sub tb drives on my servers and reduces my overall costs to replace if anything goes wrong. with a raid 10 on my primary storage array I can easily replace bad drives.

the only time I’ll really hurt is if my backup drive fails. since it was so expensive due to the volume. but backup drives never fail, right? 😉

unfortunately because of AI all those prices have increased. if I were to build it today it would cost me around $1700. adjusted for current pricing my whole lab would probably cost around $10k (thanks ram!).

good luck and god speed

the only thing pythonists love more than intellectually dunking on devs is hating Ruby. it’s like a universal character flaw they all mistook as a benefit.

anytime I have to maintain python I do it inside a container. Why? because anytime you deal with pieces of shit directly, you wear your PPE.

everything you said, 10,000% agree. god forbid the Python purists hear it though, they’ll tell you that you’re just too stupid to understand the language enough to use it and will compare it with literally every language just to prove that they have the “biggest” python.

as an American, this is the correct answer.

if a stranger invites you to dinner at their home in America, you are the main course.

yes. all of the images I use are cached and stored in my locally hosted gitlab registry.

I think I’ve got around 120-140 images. a lot of what I have is just in case of an emergency.

I’ve always imagined I could build and run technological infrastructure after a social collapse or something, so I have a lot of images that could be a good basis to start with. Most OS images, popular DB images, etc. it would probably never work, but I’d rather have the option than not.

in fairness to the cat, that finish looked like shit before they walked on it.

there is a cat betweem me and the sreen

you mean there’s a screen between you and a cat 😸

if it’s migraines, they also make heated or cooled eye covers that can apply tension. I used to use one and would even sometimes use it on my nape for tension headaches. it’s like a hot cloth that never gets cold.

I’m about to blow your frickin mind.

my cats are obsessed with nachos.

nacho plate, nacho cup, nacho bed, nacho chair.

might be, I thought it looked more like an inverter.
