That’s Steve from gamers nexus. They do consumer/prosumer computer hardware reviews, but also deep dives into industry practices, often exposing shady or illegal behavior.

He is lovingly referred to as gamer jesus due his scruffy look, generally affable nature, and habit of trying to right wrongs in the industry.

Kill himself, but also killing the person who used the soulless machine to ape that iconic art style.

Hes killing them through himself. He wants to exact both vengeance and to cease to be at the same time.

Yup, 100% intentional

Bikeshedding is when instead of making important, compex decisions that have consequences for being wrong, someone focuses on the simple, low impact, minimally important part of a project that has no consequences if its fucked up.

I think the term comes from construction projects where instead of finalizing the design of a complex building, the execs spend the entire time talking about bike parking on site. What color to have the roof, how many bikes it should hold, etc.

Bikeshedding is about offloading responsibility while still feigning involvement. You, the owner, avoid the whole part of your job youre paid for, i.e “making the hard decisions” and through misdirection and inaction, make someone else do it. That way you can blame them later if things go wrong, or take credit for their work if they go right.

Getting shot is also a common response in some nations.

Biblically accurate angles are nightmare fuel.

Angels described in the bible aren’t people with pretty bird wings. They are oscillating, intersecting ribbons of eyes and feathers, pulsing and shifting and glowing.

Here is an example:

Wazuh is popular. It’s in use by name brand companies, FOSS and relatively turnkey.

Graylog is also a popular option.

Cheddar, swiss, goat and parm tend to be very low lactose based on how they are made too.

Likely not low enough for someone with a bad allergy, but mostly fine for run of the mill lactose intolerance.

Ain’t no one on earth outrank an artillery man running full speed away from something.

Look into podman quadlets. Its containers as systemd services, and its excellent. They run as root by default, but can be run at a user level pretty easily. Ive had no permissions issues as long as you define the user/group in the config and ensure they habe the correct rights to the required folders.

It does take translation from docker compose files, but it’s entirely doable. Most of the environmental variables translate straight across.

Against me - The ocean.

The intense longing and driving song that is about becoming who you are hits extra hard when you know the singer has now come out as trans and is singing about her true self.

In the US, they are always cops, on duty or off. That’s why lots of places like hiring them for security. They can instantly arrest people, justified or not, and can often carry a gun where other people are not allowed to.

We have nothing resembling actual enforcement of law here.

Lina Khans FTC sued them, but you can bet that will be quietly dropped soon.

Pentium 1s came out right around then. With that integrated style keyboard and brown plastic, i doubt it was either.

FastApi is is a python web framework. I read this as he did, i.e “5 years in fastapi AND python” as you would need python experience to use fastapi.

Honestly glad to help. We all start somewhere.

You should be able to access idrac, if it’s licensed, by pointing your browser at the ip address that its dedicated nic has. Find that address from your router or whatever else you have that is handing out dhcp. It is a management portal, yes. You can control power, fans, get info about the servers state, set up logs and monitoring, and even use its “virtual screen” to see what you would if you hooked a monitor up to the server. The above is a great way to remotely add an OS or troubleshoot a server.

Idrac will either have a default password you can google or the server will have a little plastic pull out tab with a unique password you can reset on login.

If your server doesn’t have it, as you generally have to pay a fee to have it on, it’s okay. A monitor is a good stand in for one server. Less convenient and feature packed, but that’s homelabbing sometimes.

Well, the first step is realizing it’s okay not to use it. My homelab is a mix of salvaged mini PCs and prosumer networking gear. It has nothing to do with the 6/7 figure gear I use at work, and I prefer it that way. Its simpler and lower stakes, is quieter, and uses way less power.

That all said, it’s a great server. if you do want to use it, there are many ways to start. First, you don’t need to plug both power supplies in, but you can. The server can run entirely on one of them. It has two in case one fails it can keep running, not because it needs 2x the power. For the monitor, yes you will likely need VGA. Servers rarely have modern video ports, because vga just works, costs nothing to add to a server, and is almost never used. Most of your physical interaction with a server should be though “out of band,” which dell calls “idrac.” This is a seperate networking port labeled on the server that lets you connect to a local website, put in a password, and then fully control the server. That includes powering it on, reboots, loading disc image iso files, on and on. The idrac will stay powered even when the server is off.

You may or may not have qn idrac license for that server. If you dont and your boss can’t give you one, you can use something like jetkvm instead when it’s released.

As to what to do either it, i would recommend installing different hypervisors or kubernetes suites and playing around. Proxmox, xcp-ng, k3s, harvestor, on and on. Once you find one you like, figure out how to use automation software to setup VMs and containers, like cloudinit, terraform, ansible, or nixOS.

Good luck, and enjoy. Getting started from scratch can be a lot, but it can also be a lot of fun. Go into it expecting to fail, fail a lot and try to learn what you like. That’s the best thing a homelab can do for you.
