# Homelab History

# Hardware Write-up

I did an exhaustive write up of my lab a few months ago and it died. This will be a trickle attempt to get it back in place. It was useful for referencing my hardware and showing how I have things setup. We do plan on doing it again. Especially cause we know at 9:00 PM tonight the server this is on will be flashed to a backup stockpile 🤣  
  
Notes to self:  
Todo ~ <s>Import all hardware from ebay.</s> Skipped most hard drive purchases on ebay (minus the ssds). Need to grab everything on Amazon. Try and summarize most of what is in the lab currently from offer up and craiglist.  
Than obviously at some point will start to show how stuff is set up!

VLANs

# Dual System Workstation/Gaming Build: Write Up

I had a really extensive write up of my desktop setup detailing how I use the DisplayDriver wrapper I integrated into Sunshine and the hardware etc. I am offering this as a place holder while I am slowly rebuilding my lab after recovering from a Ceph nightmare (my fault) (I was still learning). I just want to make sure no more people reach dead links and at least know what happened. This is kind of a first world need and not necessary but I spent the last 20 minutes or so updating an adjacent dead link that documented a solution to an Ubuntu kernel issue. I will get back to this, it just may be awhile. I see your traffic my internet friends. You are valid and valuable to me I am sorry in the meantime!
