Yup! Happens a lot. How a person comes by their stuff is not a concern unless it is clearly stolen, the prices are going to be what the market bears, and it sucks in this most recent market. The only reason I didn't buy anything is that there wasn't anything I was lookin for right now. The only...

I ended up breaking the Ubuntu and got fed up with it. Ubuntu and me just doesn't want to work together. I'm going to figure out how the handle the Hailo-8 drivers on Debian 13 and just move forward, or at least get Frigate running on Debian 13 while I work on the Hailo drivers. The only thing...

If you are going to go to optics, does a DAC make sense anymore? I know there are longer DAC that are optical, but it seems you would be better off just going to a "normal" optical module once you extend beyond the 4 meters or so of the longest passive cables I've seen. Only case where this may...

If the VOSS is new enough, the unconfig also works. And if it is in VOSS, I think you need to go into the bootloader to change to exos, no sense being in fabric mode if you don't have a bunch of other switches to form a fabric. These switches are pretty nice, only thing left out is full...

I should probably add that tab will generally complete a command word, and ? will pull up context help for the command you just typed. And I did look really quick and there is a way to reset things through the boot loader, but I've never tried this. Involves deleting a bunch of file and reboot...

It should have an OS installed, but you might need to flip it from Fabric (VOSS) to EXOS depending on how it was installed before. The knowledge base will help you out for specific things, it's pretty good. The only thing I'm not sure of is how to clear a password if the seller didn't do that...

Supermicro has always been decent to me on old stuff for my production system.

I have the Hailo-8 drivers installed with Ubuntu 22.04 but haven't had time to get docker installed or Frigate running. I have a feeling that Frigate is going to give me problems since I have an older OS installed and I'm going to need to figure out which parts are needed and install the Hailo-8...

Also, https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/my-lab-an-ongoing-project.54462/ That little Quieter 2 has been around for a while, Intel J4125 powered but seems to be fairly "snappy" for everything except windows updates.

There are shady places where you can buy Windows Server keys for under $50. If it is really a lab (changing often) you can use the Microsoft Evaluation versions, they "expire" in 180 days, but can be rearmed at least 5 times. Evals are not for production systems. Client evaluation is only 90...

As with most labs, they are never really done. Here is the current state of affairs: Top most is a cheap GNSS NTP server, because time is important. I also attached a "magic arm" knockoff to one of the mounting holes for the webcam. Next row is a series of HP T740, the first 3 have 64gb of...

Looks like I need Ubuntu 22.04 for the Hailo software to function :( Starting over.

I will say, getting this Hailo-8 installed is frustrating. Most of the online guides I find are based on RasPi 5, not debian. The couple I have found don't work on debian 13. And the "official" process requires an account in their developer program, and it doesn't seem to like my email address...

I don't need petabytes of storage in my lab! Four or six 2tb drives in the array would be plenty for anything my lab would need. 10k SAS are not required or desired. I also don't need 24tb for an OS drive when all file storage is handled on another device. Suggesting that people who are looking...

For used spinning drives I'm only buying enterprise grade drives, and must be the same model and brand for my NAS. And with that I'm not looking that hard right now. Trying to decide what I really need vs want.

I will put the Hailo into the production too, it will arrive in the next day or two. I still haven't looked at production based mini-pc yet, so not sure what I want.

Nope, they are doing the same price growth. And I'm shopping undesirable small drives like 1TB.

I ordered a Hailo8 this morning and want to get Frigate running, any good tips/setup guides you can point my toward? First test candidate: - HP T740 with a too small SATA m.2 drive and open nvme slot. This has AMD v1756b processor which doesn't seem to allow detection so needed the Hailo card...

I've gone back to pricing spinning drives for my lab, just going to settle on this and hope they last until I can retire and de-tech my life. A I should wipe us all out by then anyway, either by stealing our jobs, or by Skynet/Palantir deciding we need to go. Coin flip which one happens first...

I see Star tech also has a PCIe3 card that they say will give 10gbps each, but it is almost $300 new and not seeing it used.
