Obliteration of the lawn continues, and the pile of dug up stones and rubble continues to grow. I ran out of cable and need to look at continuing the last bit tomorrow before sowing a cover crop for winter and adding mulch.

Got a rotary cultivator (rotavator) today, and I'm going to make a start on turning my back yard into a proper allotment! I also ordered some tillage radish seed to start improving the soil quality and provide a cover crop for winter. I want to grow […] [Original post on mastodon.montagne.uk]

Rack upgraded with rails for the UPS, and festive decorations for the networking section.

Side view of a 15U rack, a UPS sits on the bottom on universal rack rails, in the middle a mezzanine shelf holds a cube-shaped server and plug socket extension strip. A 1U PDU sits at the back at the same level.

A close up of the front of the rack showing the gateway, patch panel and switch. A bunch of tiny patch cables are plugged in a pleasing pattern, along with two bright red ones connecting to the gateway.

Rack is starting to look a lot better! I want a PoE injector/splitter pair for the ONT but for now I can manually put it on the rack power with minimal downtime. Next up is actually doing some proper cable management and punching down some cables to the patch panel.

A 15U rack with a 1U UPS, Mac Mini on a tray with a 4-gang extension strip, UniFi USG Pro, Dell 48 port switch and a 24 port patch panel

The same rack from behind, with a cable-wrap leading off the back to a smart plug and the ONT off to the left.
