Back in the Saddle mark 2

Again, it’s been a while since my last post. This time I got my site certificate without a hitch. Before that, I moved my site off the Raspberry PI that was hosting it to a Linode cloud server. The difference is that it now has a real static IP address, whereas the PI needed port forwarding since we don’t have a business Comcast account. It cost only $5 a month and I get 1 CPU core, 1GB of RAM, and 25GB of storage - sweet.

My home lab is coming along. I got another workbench with a stool. The pug (Barney) is not new. 2nd Workbench

Installed a TV antenea on the wall TV Antenna

Put my desktop compter off the test bench and into real case. My Desk with my computer in a golden case

Got a color laser. My Color Laser Printer

And bought a Beelink mini pc and installed Proxmox on it. Gave it a managed switch for good measure. My Proxmox Server

Whew!

The small HP computer on the left of my keyboard is a refurbished thin client I’ll use as my main acces to the Proxmox server. The Proxmox server is a Type 1 hypervisor running virtual machines. Very cool stuff in case you don’t know.
