Friday night chilling by the fire #catstr

Well, I’m out of fiat…

I’m about 10years behind the times with my Home Assistant tinkering, maybe in another 10years I’ll be tinkering with one of those AI agent server things

Swapped out the s9 in my ventilation system for a NerdQAxe Hydro rev 6. Pretty simple swap, just used the same duct adapters from the s9 either side of the radiator. Now getting the same heat input but over 5x the hash rate

Cheap sats on payday, what’s not to like!

Right, nerdaxeq++ rev6 hydro purchased. Hopefully that sorts out the foibles of the DIY PIV unit making it quieter, a bit less sketchy and way more efficient hash rate wise. Here’s a diagram of how PIV works, I’m just using a miner as the heating element instead of an off the shelf unit that uses a ceramic heater… the idea is to increase ventilation and reduce humidity/damp/mould in my old stone walled house. #heatpunk

GM, been running my miner PIV system for a week now. It’s working well, definitely pushing lower humidity air into the house and making it feel fresher. Whether it fixes the pesky damp patches on the exterior stone walls remains to be seen. The issues I need to fix with it are noise level and efficiency. It’s not gonna be cheap, the best way I can think of is to replace the S9 with 2x NerdQAxe Hydros so I match the current 200w heating output. That should sort the noise and j/th efficiency out. #heatpunks

Another hard day of napping completed ✅ #catstr
