As someone that works in a data center, we use an absolute shit ton of reclaimed water for evaporative cooling. 😀

No. Put real world examples of your work. Homelab shit, word some shit you did for friends or family as work experience. Anything that isn’t just an outright lie.

Just to help make you feel a bit better about your job hunt, I finally got a position with AWS after some 6 years of actively sending out applications and resumes to anyone and everyone. In the end what got me the job (I think) is real experience and good understanding of the basics needed for my position. No real experience in my new role but a lot of related experiences in previous. Also a lot of practice with Amazon’s STAR method of story telling, it really helps lay down the information that interviewers want to get out of you, even if they aren’t Amazon.

It also doesn’t hurt to find and get certifications! There’s quite a few out there and can be gotten fairly easily and cheaply (and some not so cheaply lol)

lol I feel small and inadequate.

Have you had much in the way of bad luck with the move being done piecemeal?

Thanks for all the information and tips everyone!
In the end I’m gonna end up doing a combination of things.

Spinning disk drives and power supplies are removed from all systems, large unsecured cards removed from desktop so they can’t flop around on the PCIe connection, servers removed from rack, everything wrapped and strapped down as needed.
Drawers mounted in the rack will also be removed as well as UPS, everything else weighs next to nothing and can be safely left in the rack. Most likely store stuff in the cavity of the rack and then wrap the whole rack tight in a plastic packing wrap. I’ll get a moisture control box for closets, bathrooms, mud rooms and storage stuff to help control the humidity inside the trailer during the move.
My trip will end up being around 1,600 miles in 2 parts. From Texas to Iowa to Virginia, so who knows what all kind of weather I’ll be hitting.

Thanks again for all the help, I’m pretty confident I’ll be able to get everything moved safely.

Thanks for the information!

I like the plywood and felt pads idea, thank you.
I’ll definitely be taking all the hard drives out and wrapping and packing them in boxes.

Just setup my own instance! Happy so far!

Pretty much exactly what hot mud is. 😀

Love my 03 Mazda B2300.🥰 Gotta say I’m definitely not a fan of the newer Ford Ranger chassis 🙁

As much as I don’t like the overall size I’m hoping one day to be able to afford a Rivian R1T. Or do some full ev conversion on my Mazda lol

I learned about this years ago when I pulled into a McDonalds at midnight for coffee. Guy said they didn’t have any made but would make a pot, and that me buying the cup of coffee paid for the whole large pot.

Hard drives, especially spinning discs, and RAM are probably the biggest factor at idle. I dropped my servers’ idle draw from 220w to 180w by dropping it’s RAM and replacing some older drives.

I’ve been pretty happy with Garuda Linux, Arch based. You’d be fine with near any of them though. Fedora base is amazing and stable and as well as the Arch based systems I use.

In the end it comes down to your hardware and what kind of gaming you want to do.
AMD gpus seem to work the best next with Intel GPUs. Nvidia can certainly work and be stable but has some drawbacks with Wayland from what I remember. (Maybe have been fixed?)

Anticheat is a crap shoot sometimes

Nginx is pretty simple to run as a reverse proxy. Caddy is even easier but not as scalable. HAProxy looks intimidating at first but it’s pretty easy and very scalable and performant. Wendell from Level1Techs has a nice writeup on their forums

Frigate and a Coral TPU work amazing. I’ve had them and Home Assistant setup for the last year or so and have been quite happy.

Yunohost seems pretty good. I’ve only had experience with CasaOS as a self hosting framework.

I run all my stuff in Proxmox

Probably be Ente even if it does take a little bit to configure it and get a web UI and stuff. PhotoPrism was easy for me to get up and running with Proxmox and the great community scripts to setup a container but having to have photosync is a drawback I don’t care much for.

I believe both have something to like a memories feature

I’ve been using Ente Photos, and PhotoPrism and I’ve been liking Ente pretty well. Little bit more work to get things setup and going but I’ve been enjoying it for the last few months

Thanks for this…I might be opening a fidelity account…
