Gamer and tech nerd. I play games and I host things!

Here's a new #promosky #introduction as I stupidly removed the old one.

Nerdy and a little socially awkward.

Gamer and tech enthusiast:

Come and say hi :)
I ordered a Beelink EQR6 to host my game servers.

AMD Ryzen 5 6600U
32GB RAM
500GB NVMe
2.5Gbit eth

Ordered direct: zip.hypersquiz.co.uk/go/EQR6

Running AMP control panel. Recommend if hosting game servers. Not free, but very reasonable.

I expanded the base to add an extra hanger up top for larger ornithopters (once I can afford to make one)

For now, I have my first ornithopter and a second MK5 ornithopter

Assault ornithopter to follow and still working on a garage space below

Here's my latest Dune Awakening base WIP

This is the first hanger and foothold, I will probably extend up to the top of the pillar and put a bigger hanger in later

Maybe I can extend down enough to put a buggy garage in

So, I play Pokémon GO

If you want an extra friend, feel free to add me 🙂

Been playing Dune Awakening

Here are some pictures of my modest first (excluding nooby zone) base.

I've got another base in the north that holds my mining buggy, where there are better resources.

I'll get some shots of that once it's complete and not just a white cube

Took delivery of a Beelink ME mini 6 bay NVMe NAS

I've installed UNRAID with 2x 2TB drives until I can afford to expand to all 6 bays

Using it as my personal cloud running Immich, paperless-ngx and Vaultwarden

All backed up to Backblaze B2 using Duplicati

I was looking for a file-sharing platform to self-host and came across this:

zipline.diced.sh

So far, impressed. Nice interface, does what I need with no fuss.

- File Sharing
- URL Shortening
- User Controls
- Metrics

#selfhost #homelab
Zipline
The next generation ShareX / File upload server, packed with tons of features and a great dashboard. What more could you want?

Trying out a Pi5 with an NVMe/heatsink combo by Waveshare. Purchased via thepihut.com

Very compact device with speedy performance

Very tight fit as the power connection on the NVMe extension board sticks out a bit (made a hole in the case to fit)

I would really like to get a ZimaCube to replace my old HP Microserver in the homelab, but I can't afford it.

Stop tempting me @zimaspace.bsky.social with your 20% off offers 😂

Such a nice-looking box that would fit perfectly into my setup.

The new door is installed! and looks smart. Just need to tidy up around it now.

The old door could have been nice one day, but it would have been a lot of money to get it repaired, and it would still never be as insulating as this one.

An update on the lobby reno work. A new front door has been ordered and is being installed on the 13th May

It's a little awkward as we are having to work around the mains service cable which was attached to the old door frame when the place was converted into flats back in the 80s

The bottom of my garden has been home to a family of foxes every year since I moved in. Here is a picture I caught of this year's litter having an exploration this morning.

Not the best quality, taken at 30m at 10x zoom on my Galaxy S21 through a window.

Stage 1 complete, new radiator fitted into the entry area.

That old front door looks so bad.

Homelab upgrades are currently too expensive for me. Having to focus my efforts and money on fixing up my home in the coming months.

The first part will be fixing up this old entryway. Install a new front door, replace the carpet with something nice, and some fresh paint.

My pi 3B+ pi-holes have been running a little warm. The fan on the POE HAT is quite noisy when it kicks to full speed.

I've drilled out and added a 40mm fan to the top of the case. It's a PWM fan, but I haven't worked out how to configure it yet, so it's just running 100%. Not as noisy as the HATs.

I spent some time over the holidays increasing my steam power setup #atm9 #create #minecraft

It now has 12 level 9 boilers, all running 9 Steam engines each, all then converted to FE via 54 alternators.

Ok, a reactor would be easier and more efficient, but its steam.....come on...STEAM!

Space is getting a bit low on my media server. I still have time, but I will have to invest in larger drives soon. I kind of wish I had a different setup so I didn't have to replace all drives to have any benefit. Live and learn. Probably £400 to replace all drives with refurb 12TBs

I was checking on my power system from a low spec PC at work.

Yep, looks to be working perfectly...

PoE HAT installed for testing. Now they don't fit in the cases I have, so new cases on order.

Hooray! My PoE HATs were delivered today, upgrade the Pi 3s this weekend and have a shuffle of the desk lab. Got to make room for the PoE switch.

I had a couple of #raspberrypi 3 Bs spare, so I've added them to my network as pi-hole DNS. I run them as my primary DNS and use my firewall as the upstream then to Cloudflare public DNS

Waiting to order some POE HATs on the next paycheck so I can power them off a little 5 port POE switch

Start the day checking in on the company #proxmox systems. These are the older ones. We have a rack mounted cluster with CEPH, and that's the main system. We host a lot of the business out of that one.

So, on top of this, the mobile data around my home also wasn't working yesterday. I ended up building this guy that I've had sitting about.

You can see my ONT in the back showing a red death light.
