I purchased a QNAP TS-473. This comes with a AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B 4-core/8-thread @ 2.2 GHz CPU.

These are my notes from initial bringup.

Janine bought herself two ASUS PN51, specifically the PN51-E1 model.

As previously described, I had replaced the fans in my UniFi US-16-XG, but until today I had not put in any low noise adapters (LNA).

That changed today, I added two LNA NA-RC10 (8.3 m³/h, 12.2 dbA) because the switch is still the most noisy piece of equipment in my homelab.

After upgrading the memory of my ASUS PN50 to 64 Gib, it was installed as an OpenShift Container Platform (OCP4) worker node.

Because my ASUS PN50 running MythTV was initially installed with F32 and I routinely DNF System Upgrade, it has been running F34 for a while now.

The main reason for this post is that the infrared receiver and watchdog seem to finally work.

These are my notes on installing a second hand Lenovo ThinkPad T480 (20L6) for a relative of mine.

This is my braindump of shrinking the existing 1TB LVM cache (on a Samsung 960evo) to half size and using the freed up space to host qcow2 files used by our OpenShift 4 VMs

Since my ASUS PN50 is planned to be running MythTV, I reinstalled it with Fedora 32 (wiping my RHEL 8 install).

Specs say 115 x 115 x 49 mm (WxDxH). CD case in the picture to give you a rough idea of the size.

I bought an ASUS PN50.

These are my notes on initial bringup with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2

I made some hardware changes to my Ceph Nautilus cluster.

While previously I used one SSD shared between the operating system and Ceph, I did want a clean setup where the OS and Ceph are on separate devices.

After installing RHEL 8, I started building a Ceph Nautilus cluster with my four TerraMaster F5-422 nodes.

In further happy distro hopping (since Ansible makes this quite painless), I installed RHEL8 on my four TerraMaster F5-422.
