Hardware Setting up NUT for UPS So in my rack, I use a Back-UPS RS 1000G-IN with Battery Extension Pack to keep powering through the outages or power fluctuations. While the society has DG, switch over can take up to a minute and then UPS helps achieve that. I watched a Jeff Geerling Video which discussed
Hardware NVMe External Storage So I am a heavy user of the my desk setup, and I try to avoid buying apple storage upgrades. So I bought a USB 3.2 10 Gbps case, but it was quite limiting. I then bought a Thunderbolt 4 Case by Acasis, and it worked beautifully. I used
Apple Silicon Mac Studio Special Antennas So I've been a happy owner of Mac Studio and it works flawlessly for everything that I care about (performance in workflows with decent efficiency that I can leave it running. However, ever since I upgraded to my Wifi 6E router, I had connectivity issues. Earlier I blamed
Hardware Geekbench 6 Benchmark across Devices I own multiple devices and recently I thought that since all of them are on the same CPU architecture arm64 it'll be great to compare the performance across tiers. P.S. I've added amd64 machines as well, and showing how these tests are not tuned for
Hardware LED Patterns on Raspberry Pi I use a lot of Raspberry Pis (4B, 3B, 3A, Zero W, etc) and I use them mostly headless. And while I do have a monitoring setup, I always thought that it would be nicer if I could map the default LEDs to something more useful. And guess what, it
NVIDIA Folding @ Home on TX2 Let me clarify first that this post is not about running GPU enabled folding. For that, some hardware enablement is missing, and thus it'll be really hard to port it, though I may attempt that in future. For CPU performance, TX2 packs decent power, specially with 2 Denver
Proxmox Why I love OpenZFS First of all, let me clarify that this post uses OpenZFS, but the technology marvel that it is is based on ZFS, which is something that I truly appreciate. However the original implementation of ZFS was built for BSD Solaris with some license concerns, but OpenZFS clearly integrated with Linux
Edge TX2 Hashing Performance I recently got 3 TX2(s) donated to me by my friend Sri Krishna Acharya. I did flash it using a comprehensive tutorial provided by him plus slight modifications using an old Macbook Pro running Ubuntu 18.04 (so many NVIDIA quirks here, that this deserves it own blog post)
Edge Onion Omega as a Fan Controller Final setup, up close.I’m a really big fan of passive cooling rather than active cooling. In fact, as much as possible, I also prefer air cooling over water cooling. Not that I like to run my chips hot, it’s just that I don’t like the noise
