Upgrades for the family (and myself) complete! Ho ho ho! This represents my UK off-site backup system. I should probably write a full post about it but the TLDR is * #ubiquiti gear for networking and wifi * Dell Optiplex i3 9100T with 24GB RAM for 24/7 low power remote apps like Plex to use with the HDHomerun that is also here so we can watch UK TV + other low bandwidth apps like Smokeping for basic network monitoring * GL-iNet Comet KVM POE for the Dell - also a #tailscale exit node * Fractal R5 (my old server I left here 7 years ago when I emigrated) with 4x 14tb disks - powers up once a week as a ZFS receive target

Upgrades for the family #UniFi

See it. Say it. Sorted. Leave me alone!

Back in the UK for the first time in Winter for 8 years. I forgot how grumpy everyone gets with these dark evenings. Then there’s those jobsworths who find every reason not to help you they can - just literally had a guy at the left luggage at the train station ask me to take all electronics out my bag. Ok laptop, camera, power bank. No. Sent it back. USB cable. No. Sent it back. SD card. He literally just had me take out all sd cards “for security”. I’m sorry but that’s just stupid.

Off until Jan. It is time.

Watched all 4 Matrix movies this month. Whyyyyyyy does 4 need to exist? It is such an insult to an otherwise remarkable series (yes I liked 2+3).
