people put too much “lab” and not enough “home” in homelab. we need more dust, more cables, more jank. love this.
Dust and jank you say? Behold, my old basement homelab when I rented just outside Boston with a very permissive landlord who agreed to let me have Comcast gig pro fiber pulled into the basement, running off an outlet I installed without asking on a free slot in our breaker box. The dust was terrible, the rack was a hodge podge, I had to put up that sign because maintenance guys kept plugging their power tools into the UPS when I wasn’t around and tripping it. But Comcast fucked up the billing and the 2gig + 1gig symmetric internet is still active to this day for free, which I left behind minimally working for the next tenants after parting out the rack. The tower by the side was a friend who wanted to colocate on my fiber, and I had some fun stuff like a slide out vga console. I also pulled Ethernet into every room, most of them installed with nice wall plates all bundled down to the rack, so with a house full of gamers, you could have multiple people pulling a gig on a game download without anyone stepping on anyone else’s toes.
Very nice. You guys with all the toys. I bet she’s fun tho.
Dang that’s the dream. Never move out :D
Believe it or not I cleaned before taking the pic lol
I had a dusty laptop running a homelab for you, and figured I should show something nice on the screen. Then, I typed in my password like an idiot. Not gonna put that online. :(
I’d be sharing the physical manifestations of my various mental illnesses
unorganized extension cords running across the floor
machines that have been unplugged for months
empty energy drink cans all over the place
excess ethernet cable length occupying a sizeable chunk of the floor
router mounted to a plastic wall hook because I don’t have a drill
credible fire hazards
cable anti-management
I can’t get that all in a few photos, even if I wanted to
besides, I’m going to clean it up
eventually, one day
when I get to it
When did people start using the term ‘lab’ for this sort of thing, and why?
This is the best thread so far. Really enjoying seeing peoples setups! Thanks @northernlights@lemmy.today !
That desk is about a million times cleaner than mine.
