Running Hydra Pool :) On an Umbrel, on mainnet. Much delight. Smooth sailing - great instructions on hydrapool.org. This is running :latest via docker compose. Also built locally from Rust source earlier - breezed right through it 👌 Awesome job guys, amazing! Thank you @256Foundation @jungly @econoalchemist et al
Integrated a particulate matter (PM) sensor - Sensirion SPS30 - into my envbox build. This should hopefully give me some insight into the dust buildup / particulates in the air around where my miners are running. Ran out of available GPIOs on the original ESP32 “CYD” board, so spun this up as a separate “dustbox“ unit for now. Will be getting a different ESP32 board with more available GPIOs next most likely - to bring this all back onto a single MCU board, and reduce the overall footprint.
Integrated a sound pressure level sensor into my envbox / sensor array build. This now will allow me to cap the max dB(A) / noise level generated by the miners as I auto-tune / overclock them - in the same way you’d normally cap max ASIC and VR temperatures, and max power.
Show your miner a little love today and de-dust the heatsink / fan 🧹 This guy went from laboring at 100% fan -> ~60%, all else being equal. 

The fan acoustics were starting to sound peculiar, which is what drew my attention. Hopefully no lasting damage to the fan, but I’m not so sure. Wish there was a better way to get alerted earlier.
