It’s quite cool and works like a charm.
My only beef (and it’s a small thing) with the thing is the virtual media. It has the ability to create a virtual CD from an ISO on its local storage. It works great but because the network interface is only 100mbit it does take FOREVER to load something like a 4gb Debian iso into its local storage. So it’s better to do a smaller boot iso and do a network install if you want to use it that way. I’m using NetBoot.xyz. But like I said other than that it’s great. The build quality is astounding. It’s a lot heavier than you think it’s gonna be, which is a very good thing.
We have some machines at work that either aren’t enterprise level machines ( eg. we have a rack mounted Mac Studio) or weren’t ordered with iDRACs (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller). That’s Dell’s version of basically what this thing does. When they start selling this in bulk, like not a kickstarter, we’re going to buy like 5 or so and 3D print a rack mount from Jeff Geerling. Maybe even put a RPi in there to act like a serial terminal server for some of our lab equipment.
These guys seriously delivered on this piece of tech and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
I’ve wondered this exact question. How does any of this evil fascist shit benefit the average Trump voter.
Trade tariffs just make things like durable goods more expensive.
Deporting migrant workers is going to make food more expensive.
Killing all references to Trans people doesn’t do anything but hurt the Trans folks.
Killing all references to climate change is just going to eventually destroy the whole planet (well just our existence on it… the planet will be fine eventually).
Killing the Dept of Education is just going to make us all dumber.
DOGE is just a meme dept whose soul purpose seems to be to let Elon enact his revenge.
RFK2 gets in charge of all the countries medicine and vaccines and bans it all just in time for Pandemic 2, Electric Boogaloo.
So basically things get a lot more expensive, the rich get richer, lots of people die, and the world becomes a generally more shitty place. Yay!!! Let’s Go Brandon!!
