Had to downvote but it really is an awesome game. Great physics and combat, universe, politics and economics.

Caddy has been the easiest reverse proxy I’ve setup over the years.

Refurbished drive. I’ve had 4 white label drives running for a number of years without issue, planning on eventually getting 12 more and maxing out my servers.
Unfortunately that’s years down the line :(

Throwing in my own data, I have a small server rack at home that runs a brocade icx4630 switch and dell r720, idles around 250w. My desktop setup, monitors, amp, computer itself etc idles around 200w.

My shit just beeps at the end of the timer and you can’t even hear it if you’re in the other room. If you forget to turn off the oven, it just stays on forever.

…piece of shit

I remember looking into solar some 20 years ago. 5kWh battery bank was practically unheard of and iirc correctly was roughly $1k per kWh. Hopefully somebody with the time can come and correct numbers. Today you can find 5kWh battery banks for ~$2k.

Inverters I remember being about $5k-$10k for house sized and capable of running AC unit. Today roughly $1k-$2k.

Solar panels themselves I’ve not priced, but iirc I remember large arrays being $20k-$30k or more.

The cost to DIY a whole home off grid solar and battery bank system has gotten beyond easier, safer and an absolute fuck ton cheaper

Make your stranded end nice and long and easy to “comb” and flatten out. Get all your pairs lined up and in order and flatten the wires together on a table or other work surface.

I usually cut about 3 or so inches of sleeve off the cable to expose the strands. But same thing applies if you can only cut an inch off, just a little more difficult.

Assuming you have passthrough rj45 ends or whatever they’re called, you can just slip on your end and crimp and let the tool trim the excess wire.

If you don’t you get to go through the process of trimming down and getting the tiny stubs to stay together enough to slide into the connector.

I’m currently hosting vaultwarden on my rack, mostly just because I can really. It’s easy enough and I have plenty of resources.

Derp, I can’t read apparently

Do any other devices work on the port?

Are we 100% certain the USB-C port is connected?

Still playing Stationeers. If you want detailed survival game, Stationeers is it. Grind for ores to smelt and make parts. Blow up your base, cause you forgot ice melts in your hand. Suffocate cause you forgot to close your helmet when you left your base. Did you turn that gas mixer off? What’s that noi…
