Well exactly yeah.

Although there's still a lot of ground works to do as half the house is like 3 bricks out of the ground but the car hole needs a ramp down to it creating.

It's more frustrating that a little job like drill one hole through wall for utility wastes becomes like a week long saga of cascading jobs, some manual digging poo poo up, but almost worse, others mental like trying to decide what to do instead and then gotta redo the kitchen units order with the supplier which has already been made.

I've somehow still not got the right combination of 40mm waste pipe.

Got the Pro rather than SE myself, but alright future proofing on WAN ports. Have Everything connected through an enterprise 24, other than backup internet (4G router with a 24 month data sim in it)

Edit: I would get some rack studs as screw rack nuts.

Mostly the wireless internet management, connection to CCTV for the goons who work out through photos and experience on Geoguessr where he is and it is pretty solid as a switch. Get the new doorbell and not the old one as it’s not as good. Looking to upgrade to the new one for PoE

I used to have other stuff but I tried just using the hub that my ISP gave me. Works surprisingly well, like 500 megabit wifi throughout the house. I hardwired the stuff that streams video for stability.
My 'house brain' is a Dell Optiplex that I got for $250 and came with a CPU one generation newer than advertised. Score.

It's a mess of cables and junk in the utility room and works great.

Please do not do this unless you want to install a 4-post server rack somewhere and listen to the obnoxiously loud fans.

That looks like a 15U, 19" deep rack which means it will not fit a R230. So you are talking a second rack somewhere with its own power requirements and data run. I am a computer janitor by profession and even I don't want to put up with that poo poo at home.

Just get a shelf for the existing rack and buy a NUC, add a Synology NAS if you need a bunch of storage. Easy.

Edit: if he got the 600mm depth cabinet then it would fit, but I still wouldn't recommend it

I don't know, the Dell rackmount machines I've used are surprisingly quiet under light load except when booting, the form factor is space efficient, and you have the option of remote management. Besides, this is not going in a living space - I'd be wary of putting one in my office, but up in a technical space? Seems like a reasonable enough option to me.

buy a full stack implementation from oracle
oracle exalogic X9-2, oracle linux, oracle cloud@customer, OCI, run VCN, oracle autonomous DB, plonk down your workloads, easy peasy

quote:

Oracle Server X9-2 is designed for maximum security, reliability, and performance for Oracle Database, and it is an ideal building block for running Oracle software in the cloud. Oracle Server X9-2 is engineered for running Oracle Database in deployments using SAN/NAS, and for delivering infrastructure as a service (IaaS) in cloud and virtualized environments that require an optimal balance among core density, memory footprint, and I/O bandwidth. With support for up to 27.2 TB of high-bandwidth NVM Express (NVMe) flash drives, Oracle Server X9-2 can store either the entire Oracle Database in flash for extreme performance or accelerate I/O performance using Database Smart Flash Cache, a feature of Oracle Database. Each server includes built-in proactive fault detection and advanced diagnostics to deliver extreme reliability for Oracle applications. With a compute capacity of over 2,600 cores and 86 TB of memory in a single rack, this compact 1U server is an ideal framework for standing up density-efficient compute infrastructure without compromising reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS).

I'm sure you can pick an x9-2 up on ebay for like $20k

NJAN99 already has this house, he doesn’t need a second money pit in buying Oracle products.

As for rack yeah if 600mm it will fit the 495mm server pretty easily. If he doesn’t then can get a rack based NAS and then some raspberry pis.

The licensing will cost more than the house, including the fees for the attorneys for license compliance of course.

I mean since we're in the thread suggesting completely asinine levels of industrial computing power to control some lights and hvac, I figured why not go whole hog and buy some real corporate iron

e. oracle cloud@customer has no licensing fees, it's cloud software, you pay as you go
but I get the internalized reflexive reaction to oracle's decades of abuse though lmao

My house runs off a Raspberry pi 4 running NAS software with a USB hard drive attached and a bunch of docker images to do the home automation and it's fine.

Eager to see op buy a Deep Blue prototype off eBay though.

My house brain is a repurposed Lenovo laptop which I had lying around and chucked 20gb of ram in. It is running windows with a qnap external 4 bay storage (not nas), and does the CCTV via blueiris and photo prism in a docker. I might put Plex on it, but can't be bothered at the moment.

I just wish I had put a TB SSD in it when I spun it up, but it will probably die before that becomes an issue. Then I will move onto the next spare laptop and so on.

I am excited to see what nn uses for turning the lights on and off. It will either be a raspberry pi he found in a bush, or a ridiculous server he bought off someone in the pub.
