  • The pre-charged kits

    congrats on the installation! had not heard about of these before, but makes sense. so many questions…

    are we talking a 100% closed, pre charged system with both units charged - no drying or long prep needed? anything special to do between the compressor and the air handler on final connection? with supplied gear, how did everything work for you in routng lines and positioning the air handler and compressor units?

    have been thinking of adding a minisplit to my server room as additional/failure-state cooling and would usually want to use a pro for the work, but this is intriguing.

    again, nice detail oriented weekend work!













  • depending on specs it will be a little power hungry, but a good virtualization platform.

    yes, the power supplies are likely redundant and the server will complain if they are not both powered.

    it will use a VGA connection, but you should be ale to find cheap VGA monitors or cheap adapters.

    RAID controllerfor those drives? how many processors and cores? how much RAM? what OS are you planning on running on it? iDRAC included? (if so, likely idrac6, but still usable)

    this hardware is very well supported by linux - I have used these older servers extensively. your boss was right to be excited for you. its a great exploration platform that you will be able to do lots of things with.

    fire up a live linux distro and get detailed specs on the box - that will guide what you can play with right away.




  • I dont think consent applies when every lever of power is controlled by the “grab em by the pussy” and “if youre rich, they let you do it” party.

    just before musk shot out the seig heil heard around the world, he was effusive about the importance of this election - precisely because this is an absolutely perfect storm of forces against democracy and for technocratic autocracy.

    as for enforcing the new status quo… I see no future that does not involve state violence.
