Few days later and I'm getting the hang of this. Note: prep makes welding 10,000 x easier.

Very first attempt stick welding. Work was on the floor and I was seated, so probably not as easy as it could have been. But you can see a couple of sort of beads there. Rest of it looks like robocops hemorrhoids.

Hacked my welding helmet to fit my big ass head

Whoever invents heat shrink tube that is slotted with a super glue strip to fix the "ahh forgot to jacket it before soldering" mistakes will make some $$$

@0PT41N yeah a nas with some services for personal use more or less.

@0PT41N I'll have to double check to confirm, but it's an optiplex 7010 sff transplanted to a bigger case, i5 3470, 16gb ddr3, about to have ~6tb of drives when sata card gets here. Awaiting a normal atx power supply.

Gonna 3d print some HDD sized enclosures for my orange pis and have the inside of this monster case be a self contained server closet

Home server optiplex mobo in it's new home. Very roomy. #selfhosting #homelab

@alvin
Welcome!

@mike does the code smell musty like a basement?

I need to find a software like runcloud/serverpilot/forge that I can run on a pi and manage my home network servers(PCs) and do vps provisioning.

Gonna give this another go.
