General Hardware and Setup ~ Current Schema
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 🤣
