This is Shadow_8472 with a side project of the week. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, I\u2019ve been assembling my servers (ButtonMash, RedLaptop, and GoldenOakLibry) on and under a foldable table. Add a workstation, and it\u2019s getting a bit cluttered. We\u2019ve had a set of glass shelves going unused for a while now, and I think they might do nicely to organize the servers\u2019 room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started by measuring ButtonMash\u2019s case against the shelves\u2019 metal frame. While it was close, I estimated an inch vertical clearance once the shelves were in place. Otherwise, the tentative plan was to remove a shelf. My father and I moved the shelves in and loaded them and the setup\u2019s UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Wiring was relatively straightforward with the traditional wire Medusa in the back, but out from underfoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, I left ButtonMash in a precarious state such that a reboot before moving it knocked out my known house of cards supporting PiHole and Unbound. What I didn\u2019t realize was that I never got Caddy working on that machine in the first place. In trying to fix Caddy, I wiped the containers I actually the whole house was using for DNS. As a patch, I pointed the router back at our normal DNS servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I\u2019m trying to avoid server work this month, I went ahead and looked up how to change my specific DNS settings temporarily to restart my DNS containers. From there, I did not encounter any notable issues, though I wasn\u2019t up to testing the removal of my patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a rack. That\u2019s my story and I\u2019m sticking to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Question<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you organize your tech stack?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning from my Robotics Lab!
