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

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

Just 2x drives in. The parity drive is the only one that gets hot during checks. It's not for long and only once a week.
The fan is very quiet. I've got it set to max, but going to see if I can increase its speed. Also try different thermal pads.
Might try and 3D print a case with more air flow.

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

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)

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

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

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.

I like Zoho mail. I use it for one of my domains. Worth noting that it has a Mail Free tier that gives 5 users, 5GB/per user, and a 25MB attachment limit, all on your own domain. Just have to scroll down a bit on the Pricing page.
Great for a home user looking to get off of paid plans.

Taking some time to put together a map for my setup. It's fairly small so didn't take long. However, it doesn't account for any of the containerized services, just physical hardware.
