Everyone in #Homelab knows about the DIY 19" IKEA LACK rack... but did you know IKEA makes the perfect mini rack furniture, too? Presenting stirkage's Eket rack! image
Ready for Winterfest (hamfest) this weekend. More on the mini rack (which is not just for radio/SDR) tomorrow morning ;) image
People often ask me about this fancy-looking Linux monitoring tool when they see me using it in my videos—it's called 'btop' and it's available via the package manager of almost every modern Linux distro (e.g. `sudo apt install btop`) I posted a video on my 2nd channel with my 'top' 10 list of Linux (and macOS, and sometimes even Windows!) monitoring tools you can run in the console—for CPU, power, network, disk, etc.: image
First time I had a power outage at the studio, during a winter storm—and luckily everything came back up hours later. But you shouldn't count on things 'just working'! Here's what I did right, and what I did wrong:

Latest AI pet peeve: 'Influencer ad companies' now send emails with flowery language about how amazing [insert my last three videos here] were, generating quotes that make it sound like they watched them. Then they're like "and we have this spatula we'd like you to review"!
JetKVM's source code is now public! — shipping has started, I can't wait to receive the extra unit I ordered. I have something special in mind for it :) #homelab image
"I was told Rockchip no longer considers RK3588 to be an “open source” chip. In practice, that means Rockchip no longer contributes RK3588 code to open-source projects and they also decided not to sell RK3588 directly to SBC vendors." This, paired with Joshua Riek stepping away from ubuntu-rockchip, doesn't bode well for RK3588's SBC futures. Maybe why Radxa is going with a different vendor for their next flagship board, the Orion 6?

The suspense is killing me... the @System76 :popos: :ubuntu: Thelio Astra is here, and I've already run a _lot_ of tests (GLaDOS would be proud!): image
