I don't think I understand your question.

If you plug all your servers into a power strip like this, all the power goes through the power strip and through one cable. If there is a fault in the power strip, all the servers will lose power as a fuse will trip.

The same is true for my setup, I have added no new failure modes.

The name has been in my family far longer than that program has existed, so the way I see it, if anything, they are copying me xD

Thanks for this, I founds some self-extinguishing PETG, that's really not much more expensive than PETG. Definitely worth the money

Uggg don't give me ideas, I've already sunk way too much time into designing this 😅️🤣

So you could just put a relay between my power-module and your server, and it's problem solved.

A redesign to incorporate one of these would be great, there are also variants that monitor power draw, so you'd be able to see each servers power usage and switch it on or off remotely. image

Why are you doing this to me?

My setup is as resilient as this would be: image

I haven't added any failure-modes

There are more duckies, a lil giraffe and a turtle at the front

Yea I realised that is a limitation, but Eh I'd take that trade-off for the modularity and good looking backside.

It's rare that you add/remove things, and technically you can just plug out the inside and only that server will go offline with the rest keeping power.

Sure but then there should be some kind of onboarding, or a better default page.

New users might lose interest before finding communities they would have liked

I want it to be modular, so if I add another 2 servers, I can just add the server module in front, and its power module at the back.

Nice thanks!! You can get a 3D printer for fairly cheap to get started, the one I have is only 280 Euro now with 4 spools of filament

Nice thanks, that sounds good. I'd definitely only want to push to one place, if it then syncs to GitHub that's fine.

 

I've seen so many 10" servers that look amazing from the front and very polished, but then having a rats nest of cables and a mess at the back.

After 62 iterations and many 3D prints, blood, sweat, profanity and tears. I my design and implementation is finally done. image
I used Hexagons where possible, because as you know, Hexagons are the bestagons

This is Before:

And the After:

The ducky adds 200MHz

The front of my mini-rack is actually still somewhat of a mess, I thought I'd focus on the back first.

I've published it in excruciating detail on my GitHub Leave a Star if you like what you see.

I self host a bunch of stuff on here to get away from Big-Tech, and because I find it fun. For a lot more details see https://erasmus.works/

It always bothered me the the fronts of racs are modular, but not the backs, this solves that
If you have any questions feel free to ask, hopefully this helps other clear up their rats nests.

I made a brand new account, and on first login this is my feed.

Not sure if it's just this instance that has this issue, but perhaps some on-boarding? Or a better default feed, that would appeal to "Average" people, and show some casual subs etc.

It would be nice to have the default feed be more diverse, or even better have a screen that says "Hey here are ~50 popular topics, click the ones you're interested in"

User retention might not be great if the default feed is this.
