| tomreyn | this must be the night of prehistoric hardware | 02:39 |

| leftyfb | those 2650's sucked | 02:40 |
| leftyfb | I worked with a few hundred of them about 13 years ago | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | they do even more now | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | i bet this wasnt fun | 02:41 |
| tomreyn | how about reviving your nightmares? https://www.ebay.com/itm/323298795813 | 02:43 |
| tomreyn | whats this thing below the display? https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/uWYAAOSwz35bICSn/s-l1600.jpg | 02:44 |
| tomreyn | jumpers? | 02:45 |
| tomreyn | let's take a photo of this label, too, could be important for buyers https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/vQMAAOSwBnZbH0Iu/s-l1600.jpg | 02:48 |
| leftyfb | I think it's the LED connector for either the front panel cover and/or back cable management for when you "locate" a server using ipmi/idrac | 02:48 |
| leftyfb | https://www.dropbox.com/s/flokujzbzsbaemb/2018-06-23%2022.45.27.jpg?dl=0 | 02:48 |
| leftyfb | I still have those 4 if I ever get bored | 02:48 |
| tomreyn | oh right, it could well be locator leds | 02:49 |
| tomreyn | the computer museum counts on your support! | 02:50 |
| leftyfb | oh I used to have some doozies before I moved out of my apartment a couple years ago | 02:51 |
| leftyfb | still had some MFM drives | 02:51 |
| leftyfb | and a Compaq tower server, can't for the life of me remember the name of it. Think it had a 166Mhz Pentium. 8G SCSI RAID 5! | 02:53 |
| leftyfb | It was running NT4 | 02:53 |
| leftyfb | it ran as a Adobe shockwave based game server for years | 02:54 |
| leftyfb | I named it big bertha | 02:54 |
| tomreyn | :) | 02:54 |
| tomreyn | big swiss cheese might have bene more fitting | 02:55 |
| tomreyn | lcukily securtiy was irrelevant back then | 02:55 |
| leftyfb | HA! | 02:56 |
| leftyfb | http://pics.leftyfb.com/main.php/d/106-2/bigbertha1.jpg | 02:56 |
| leftyfb | there she is! | 02:56 |
| tomreyn | lovely | 02:58 |
| tomreyn | obvious similarities https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dc/Dicke_Bertha.Big_Bertha.jpg | 03:00 |
| leftyfb | http://pics.leftyfb.com/main.php/datacenter/Img_0062.jpg.html | 03:00 |
| leftyfb | couple of the 2650's I used to manage | 03:00 |
| tomreyn | reminds me of one of the robots in freedroid. | 03:02 |
| tomreyn | are those dell racks? | 03:02 |
| leftyfb | no, telco racks | 03:03 |
| leftyfb | way easier to work with IMO. Back before ready-rails that is | 03:03 |
| tomreyn | interesting. i never got to enter a data center until a couple years ago. | 03:04 |
| tomreyn | so i know nothing but rails, and supercomputers. | 03:05 |
| leftyfb | I spent 9 years working at the worlds largest shared hosting company. Built 95% of one datacenter and 100% of the other from the ground up and had to manage them basically 24/7 | 03:06 |
| leftyfb | the year before I left they finally hired 17 Jr admins to replace my position in the DC's. I was their manager. | 03:07 |
| tomreyn | you did this all alone until then? | 03:08 |
| leftyfb | for the most part, yes | 03:08 |
| tomreyn | impressive. | 03:09 |
| leftyfb | there was a whole team of Netops, but the rest of the team felt they were above doing hands-on work | 03:09 |
| tomreyn | i guess you didnt get much sleep doring those years | 03:09 |
| leftyfb | you have no idea | 03:11 |
| tomreyn | that's correct. | 03:11 |
| leftyfb | my gf (now wife) would actually bring a blanket at times to sleep in part of the DC that didn't have vented floor tiles | 03:11 |
| tomreyn | hehehe | 03:12 |
| leftyfb | she would come with me a lot of the time when I got paged so I wouldn't drive home alone half asleep | 03:12 |
| leftyfb | it was fun for the first few years | 03:12 |
| tomreyn | very loving | 03:12 |
| leftyfb | when I started there it was 1 office of 25 people | 03:13 |
| leftyfb | now they're global and owned like 30 or so brands of hosting companies | 03:13 |
| leftyfb | when I left | 03:13 |
| leftyfb | Hostgator, ipage, domain.com, bluehost, fatcow | 03:14 |
| leftyfb | some of the bigger names | 03:14 |
| tomreyn | so it was Hostgator initially? | 03:14 |
| tomreyn | i dont know how old this brand is | 03:14 |
| leftyfb | hostgator got bought out by the company I worked for ... they all still sell under the same name | 03:14 |
| leftyfb | when I left there was maybe separate platforms | 03:15 |
| leftyfb | hostgator and bluehost were on their own platforms | 03:15 |
| leftyfb | not sure about now | 03:15 |
| leftyfb | also not sure who else they own | 03:15 |
| tomreyn | hostgator is owned by endurance intl, which used to be bizland | 03:16 |
| leftyfb | yep | 03:16 |
| leftyfb | that's who I worked for | 03:16 |
| tomreyn | 83 brands now | 03:16 |
| leftyfb | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endurance_International_Group | 03:17 |
| leftyfb | when I started they had just bought fatcow | 03:17 |
| tomreyn | cool, nice to talk to someone who was involved this early in DC management | 03:18 |
| leftyfb | I somewhat miss it | 03:18 |
| leftyfb | I do it for fun now | 03:19 |
| leftyfb | https://www.dropbox.com/s/i6jiwtyzitos0cr/2018-06-21%2019.18.42.jpg?dl=0 | 03:19 |
| leftyfb | sitting in the walk-in closet next to me | 03:19 |
| tomreyn | you will have dispelled the bad parts of it by now ;) | 03:19 |
| leftyfb | all on it's own circuit, got it's own dedicated mini-split AC and I got my whole-house generator ready to go at a moments notice | 03:20 |
| tomreyn | hehe nice | 03:20 |
| tomreyn | is that a raspi cluster? | 03:21 |
| leftyfb | :) | 03:21 |
| leftyfb | not really a cluster | 03:21 |
| leftyfb | they each serve their own separate purposes | 03:21 |
| leftyfb | but yeah, nice little rack I rigged up there | 03:22 |
| tomreyn | i always thought of the US as being boring when it comes to history. but i guess i'd love to have a beer with you and talk history sometime. ;) | 03:23 |
| tomreyn | << EU person | 03:24 |
| leftyfb | https://www.dropbox.com/s/onmj2j9x3zfca4d/2018-03-17%2022.12.41.jpg?dl=0 | 03:24 |
| leftyfb | that's taken before being fully wired, but you get the idea | 03:25 |
| leftyfb | all custom | 03:25 |
| leftyfb | it was just a 1U shelf I flipped upside down | 03:25 |
| leftyfb | and thanks for the compliment :) | 03:25 |
| tomreyn | looks like a fun project | 03:26 |
| leftyfb | still is .... woke up Thursday morning to find everything in it offline. The PS was just a couple amps short of supplying enough load. Luckily I just happen to have a PS big enough in a box ready to go | 03:27 |
| tomreyn | :) | 03:28 |
| leftyfb | that all said, gotta tend to the reason I don't have as much time for playing with this stuff anymore. Gotta go feed the 5 month old :) | 03:29 |
| leftyfb | cya | 03:29 |
| tomreyn | good luck there, let's hope it stays inside! | 03:29 |
| tomreyn | ttyl | 03:29 |
