As someone that works in a data center, we use an absolute shit ton of reclaimed water for evaporative cooling. 😀

Should I just lie on job applications and say I have a college degree? by dogma11 in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

No. Put real world examples of your work. Homelab shit, word some shit you did for friends or family as work experience. Anything that isn't just an outright lie.

Just to help make you feel a bit better about your job hunt, I finally got a position with AWS after some 6 years of actively sending out applications and resumes to anyone and everyone. In the end what got me the job (I think) is real experience and good understanding of the basics needed for my position. No real experience in my new role but a lot of related experiences in previous. Also a lot of practice with Amazon's STAR method of story telling, it really helps lay down the information that interviewers want to get out of you, even if they aren't Amazon.

It also doesn't hurt to find and get certifications! There's quite a few out there and can be gotten fairly easily and cheaply (and some not so cheaply lol)

Moving servers and rack equipment (lemmy.world)

Hi selfhosted community,

I’m in the process of moving across the country and need some advice on the best way to transport my server equipment safely. I have a 15U server rack, a 2U server, a 1U server, a 2U UPS, a 1U PDU, a 1U network switch, a 1U network router, and a 1U patch panel. I’m planning to pack everything into a 4×8 U-Haul trailer along with the rest of my bedroom, desk, and computer equipment.

I ran a few queries into a couple LLMs and they basically say to pack everything in the rack and secure it down. I just couldn't see that working out at all. Figured I might get some human input.

Here are a few questions I have:

Packing: What’s the best way to pack these items to ensure they don’t get damaged during transport? Should I use bubble wrap, foam, or just some moving blankets?
Securing: I've got plenty of ratchet straps but is there any other - options I should be aware of?
Anything else I'm not thinking of atm?

Additional Tips: Any other advice for transporting sensitive electronic equipment would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to your suggestions.

I learned about this years ago when I pulled into a McDonalds at midnight for coffee. Guy said they didn't have any made but would make a pot, and that me buying the cup of coffee paid for the whole large pot.

If it's weight is anything like water, 550 gallons would weigh near 2.5 tons

Had to downvote but it really is an awesome game. Great physics and combat, universe, politics and economics.

Caddy has been the easiest reverse proxy I've setup over the years.

Refurbished drive. I've had 4 white label drives running for a number of years without issue, planning on eventually getting 12 more and maxing out my servers.
Unfortunately that's years down the line :(

Throwing in my own data, I have a small server rack at home that runs a brocade icx4630 switch and dell r720, idles around 250w. My desktop setup, monitors, amp, computer itself etc idles around 200w.

What is a nutritious, filling, and easy to eat breakfast for really early in the morning? by dogma11 in c/[email protected]

My shit just beeps at the end of the timer and you can't even hear it if you're in the other room. If you forget to turn off the oven, it just stays on forever.

...piece of shit

Proton is amazing as long as you don't get bit by anticheat, which thankfully is getting better.

Thankfully I don't play many games with anticheat so almost the entirety of my game library runs on my Linux install.

Still playing Stationeers. If you want detailed survival game, Stationeers is it. Grind for ores to smelt and make parts. Blow up your base, cause you forgot ice melts in your hand. Suffocate cause you forgot to close your helmet when you left your base. Did you turn that gas mixer off? What's that noi...
