MLK greetings to those who observe! Even though I did not know him, |
|
I reflect on his spirit today in the legacy and the lessons that he |
|
has left for us. |

|
I have been too fixated this past long weekend on the NASes |
|
(NASen?...Neese?....Network Attached Storages?) Let me try that |
|
again. I have been too fixated this past weekend on the NAS servers |
|
that I discussed in my last phost.[1] I figured that I would just |
|
stuff them in a 1U case, plug it in, and call it a day. But no, it |
|
did not turn out to be that simple. It turned into a weekend |
|
project. Before I write about that, some background. |
|
|
|
Over the years, I have been gifted some discarded rackmounted |
|
hardware. I've had a thing for rackmounted stuff for some time now. |
|
It started when I dumpster dove a full-sized telco relay |
|
rack and some rackmount shelves at the ISP I used to work for back |
|
in the day. It used to live in the dining room of my apartment |
|
when I was single, moved to the bedroom when I moved out west and |
|
got married, and eventually was re-gifted to a member of the local |
|
2600 group. My wife was done with having a telco relay rack with |
|
all of the equipment noise in our bedroom and we were upgrading to |
|
a larger apartment since my son was born. |
|
|
|
By that time, I had quite a number of rackmounted devices with no |
|
rack to put them in. It's not so nice to have rackmounted equipment |
|
just sitting unmounted on tables. Rackmounted equipment needs to be |
|
mounted to a rack. Eventually, I found a solution that allowed the |
|
equipment to be mounted and was acceptable to my wife. What I found |
|
was a desk that I saw at Guitar Center. |
|
|
|
OK, I have been summoned. Time to exit the concentrator. |
