=== Startech 12U Rack ===
My equipment is spread over two server racks, Startech 8u and a 12u. The stuff in the 8u is my mission critical equipment that is on all the time, the stuff in the 12u can be turned off when not in use.
The main 19" rack I use to hold all of my equipment in is this extendable-length startech unit. I'm lucky to have it, these are rare to come by on the used market since they're so difficult to transport. The table below shows what's in all of it's 12 units of rack space:

I have a number of laptops I use for personal computing and other general purpose stuff. I especially like thinkpads. I have:


* IBM Thinkpad T30  (2002) - back from when it was still IBM that were making thinkpads. This has an intel pentium 4 mobile in and 512Mb of memory. Surprisingly, it still runs okay today with debian (even with a desktop environment). It is used as a CUPS print server, since it has a parallel port it is connected to a very old dot matrix printer which can handle continuous paper. Ideal for reading research papers!

Eden's homelab wiki has been recreated... And is in progress...

The old version was deleted because it was out of date and was buggy. This version should be less buggy HOPEFULLY. Also the older CSS makes it look cooler imo ^-^

watch this space!

My equipment is spread over two server racks, Startech 8u and a 12u. The stuff in the 8u is my mission critical equipment that is on all the time, the stuff in the 12u can be turned off when not in use.

My five thinkpads

I have a number of laptops I use for personal computing and other general purpose stuff. I especially like thinkpads. I have:

  • IBM Thinkpad T30 (2002) - back from when it was still IBM that were making thinkpads. This has an intel pentium 4 mobile in and 512Mb of memory. Surprisingly, it still runs okay today with debian (even with a desktop environment). It is used as a CUPS print server, since it has a parallel port it is connected to a very old dot matrix printer which can handle continuous paper. Ideal for reading research papers!
  • Lenovo Thinkpad x200 (2008) - The newest thinkpad that can have a fully open source BIOS. This is a beautiful piece of hardware with a lovely keyboard. Sadly its battery is kinda fucked. I use it for writing latex documents. It has an intel core 2 duo cpu and 4Gb of memory, which is plenty for me. CPUs haven't really gotten any faster in the past 10 years so it's still perfectly fine for general computing. See the libreboot project[1].
  • Lenovo Thinkpad x260 (2016) - Formerly my main laptop for doing uni work is this, it has an intel 6500U and 16gb of memory, and a 1Tb SSD. It currently has 3 different operating systems, Windows 10, debian sid, and ubuntu 22.04 for ROS stuff.

TP-Link EAP110 installed in a HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL manner

Wi-Fi

I use the TP-Link Omada ecosystem of Wi-Fi controllers and access points. The controller is run on my the Wifi-omada0 VM. I have two access points:

  • EAP225(EU) v4.0
  • EAP110(EU) v4.0

Both of which are powered off POE directly from my switches. As you can see, they are installed in a HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL manner.
