I did this in my last place, but made the floorplan in Krita. It was pretty cool, but too much work to do again.

It’s KVM we should really be worried about anyway.
I made WinTile for gnome. Gave me back quarter tiling.


Yea, I’ve recently learned LineageOS has an AndroidTV version that runs on a lot of devices, including the Pi. Been considering investigating that.


Very true. I do have a let’s encrypt wildcard cert that I also use with internal IPs for instances like this. But most of my items don’t require that.


It is surprisingly easy to add a custom CA to phones and laptops. When I migrated to services using one with names like thisservice.lan I thought it would be a lot harder. I just have a generation script that makes a new cert and I throw it in NGINX.
Glad your backup worked. I don’t backup my desktop or laptop anymore. Everything important is in Nextcloud or on the NAS, and I have scripts to rebuild a fresh system when needed. I have found that works better for me.


Oh yes, I’ve got a few popular FOSS projects out in the world, these would just go on my dumping ground of a site 😉


It’s a Rackmate T2. I printed the parts in ASA, which is very heat resistant, and it’s held up for a long time against all the hot equipment. It’s also pretty thin on the HD sled holders, still doesn’t sag or budge.
I should probably make these models public at some point.


Hah, yea I used a pre made box to cover off on safety in the lazy way. Using one of these boards inside it: https://a.co/d/08aDId5p
Most of my custom work was on the front so I could fit multiple mini PCs side by side. Everything designed in FreeCAD with color coded cables per machine 😀

Edit: ignore the circle. Apparently this photo was used to tell my partner what to unplug during some testing.


This looks great! Any thought on relay control? I built an 8 outlet box with relays inside so I can direct control power to each server with a Raspberry Pi. It runs PiKVM and is also attached to an 8 port KVM for control.



So I dont follow these games, but: similarities don’t make it a clone, either. I.E. every racing game isnt a clone of whatever the first big one was.


My brother in efficiency, let me introduce you to https://wiki.slrpnk.net/articles:start
But you also get that with shared memory in zswap, with all the other advantages. I’d really recommend reading the “Architectural differences” in the linked article from Chris Down, as he’s way deeper into the kernel code than me, but the biggest problem in a setup like a small memory server is:
If you have a ZRAM device, and it fills up, more recently needed pages end up on the backup disk swap, because ZRAM has no way to move between swaps
Where zswap is built into the kernel memory management layer, so it can automatically decide which pages are cold and put them on disk, while keeping fresh ones in compressed RAM.
I.E. in your use case, zswap is better, not even taking into account all the other details from Chris’ article.
But… Why? If ZRam uses RAM as compressed swap, what advantage does it have over just leaving that RAM available as shared memory? Do you have a specific process that is eating up non-shared? This might be of interest: https://chrisdown.name/2026/03/24/zswap-vs-zram-when-to-use-what.html
Why not just set kernel swappiness to 1 and not do any of that?
What? Are you arguing without comprehending?
And what makes you think it’s easier to trace what is happening in SailfishOS? Tracing isn’t hard in Android.
Both ship: Firmware, the HAL components (which are way more critical in my eyes as they have low level hardware access and could hide anything from the OS)
Aren’t firmware and HAL in hardware/devices in the source tree for graphene? Also the camera stack/etc isn’t Google’s, it’s Graphene’s.
The Widevine comment is fair, but Sailfish needs to support DRM, too, so they’re in the same boat, there.
Is there high tennis?
