"interesting" KVM currently in my server rack. It's two nonfunctional KVMs kludged together to make one functional KVM with no docs and no monitor. One of the switches only has a functional switch, and one of the switches only has a functional keyboard, with a COTS Dell monitor essentially gaff taped on top. In general though, I'd love to see a list of equipment up for grabs! --cs

I'd love to get one for home for my main server/desktop combo in my basement, but if someone else can really use it, I'm ok with it. And it was great meeting you and I think we had a really fun and interesting talk thursday. Let's try to keep up the fun! Who's up for a talk next month? And does anyone have pointers to the Image generating stuff we talked about? It wiould be fun to try it out myself and for $10 I could get alot of fun. John

That synology is nice, enough grunt to run a fair amount of compute on it. Probably too rich for my blood though. soup On Sat, Feb 10, 2024 at 9:26 PM Pete Wason via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Heya - fun meeting, cool stuff!

Bancroft School where I work would be very interested in the desktops and laptops. I am trying to build a Linux CAD lab, and all I have are 12 year old macs with 8gb ram. Do they have 16+gb ram?

Heya - fun meeting, cool stuff! I meant to mention, I have a ton (literally) of decommissioned equipment at work we're looking to give/sell/donate away. Mostly Dell, but some other brands mixed in. I may have posted a partial list at some point on the list. A few older servers (R805, R300, two 32-bay Celeros NAS units, Synology RS2416+ with SAS expansion chassis), Optiplex and Precision desktops, a few Precision laptops (that cost us between$4-7K when new), a 16-port KVM, about 30 monitors, keyboards, mice, etc. etc. etc. If you know anyone who needs any more tech to play with, I have it! I also have a bunch of stuff at home that's available.

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting tonight! Time: 7pm Date: February 8th, 2024 Location: Technocopia, 44 Portland St. Worcester MA Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA For a topics, We've got two. Topic #1: Turing Pi 2 hardware Wlug member Zori Babroudi recently bought a Turning Pi 2 and a bunch of Pi and Rocks compute modules. Currently, it's a work in progress, but eventually once things are totally working on it, I'd like to show it off in its full glory. But in the meantime, we can marvel at the hardware. Ultimately, the plan is to run k8s on it and do some LLM based AI stuff as well. Topic #2: ProxMox With BroadCom's purchase and destruction of VMware, many of us are scrambling to look for alternatives to VMware Esxi. One great contender is ProxMox. It's a debian based distro that's focused on providing a great interface to manage vms running on kvm. It also has great support for video card pass through (something I know Brandon is *very* interested in). I've got a 3 node proxmox cluster that I will show off. John Stoffel has also been experimenting with it as well so both of us can talk about the good/bad/ugly of it. As usual, the conversation will be lively and focused around linux, FOSS, fair use and who knows what! Afterwards we'll head off for some dinner and keep the conversation going! I hope to see you there! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Currently we're having issues getting the Turing Pi 2 to boot, so doing a show off of Proxmox I could definitely do as well. I've got a three node setup as well as a backup node running at work, but I don't have anything on it that I couldn't show the world. Tim.

That would be awesome to see. I've finally got ProxMox 8.1.3 up and running at work. It's an interesting beast with some funky limitations. And alot of flexibility. But the setup can be tough if you have VLANs on your trunks/bonds feeding the servers. Lots of by hand networking setup.
