I added a RLY-8 to my home lab. It has 8 controllable relays and can be talked to via network.

These are my notes on initial bringup.

As planned, this September we doubled the RAM in our main hypervisor at home from 128 GiB to 256 GiB.

The Super Micro remote management webUI is nice and even offers KVM with HTML5. But I much prefer using vendor agnostic IPMI directly instead of a vendor specific tool like iDRAC, iLO, etc.

These are my notes on setting fan thresholds via IPMI for my H11DSi-NT motherboard.

My significant other and I got ourselves a new home server.

Got myself 4m of ws2801 LED Strip and a Teensy 3.0

Turns out this is a neat combination.
