[02:39] <tomreyn> this must be the night of prehistoric hardware
[02:40] <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
[02:41] <tomreyn> i bet this wasnt fun
[02:43] <tomreyn> how about reviving your nightmares? https://www.ebay.com/itm/323298795813
[02:44] <tomreyn> whats this thing below the display? https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/uWYAAOSwz35bICSn/s-l1600.jpg
[02:45] <tomreyn> jumpers?
[02:48] <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
[02:49] <tomreyn> oh right, it could well be locator leds
[02:50] <tomreyn> the computer museum counts on your support!
[02:51] <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
[02:53] <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
[02:54] <leftyfb> it ran as a Adobe shockwave based game server for years
[02:54] <leftyfb> I named it big bertha
[02:54] <tomreyn> :)
[02:55] <tomreyn> big swiss cheese might have bene more fitting
[02:55] <tomreyn> lcukily securtiy was irrelevant back then
[02:56] <leftyfb> HA!
[02:56] <leftyfb> http://pics.leftyfb.com/main.php/d/106-2/bigbertha1.jpg
[02:56] <leftyfb> there she is!
[02:58] <tomreyn> lovely
[03:00] <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
[03:02] <tomreyn> reminds me of one of the robots in freedroid.
[03:02] <tomreyn> are those dell racks?
[03:03] <leftyfb> no, telco racks
[03:03] <leftyfb> way easier to work with IMO. Back before ready-rails that is
[03:04] <tomreyn> interesting. i never got to enter a data center until a couple years ago.
[03:05] <tomreyn> so i know nothing but rails, and supercomputers.
[03:06] <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
[03:07] <leftyfb> the year before I left they finally hired 17 Jr admins to replace my position in the DC's. I was their manager.
[03:08] <tomreyn> you did this all alone until then?
[03:08] <leftyfb> for the most part, yes
[03:09] <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
[03:11] <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
[03:12] <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
[03:13] <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
[03:14] <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
[03:15] <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
[03:16] <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
[03:17] <leftyfb> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endurance_International_Group
[03:17] <leftyfb> when I started they had just bought fatcow
[03:18] <tomreyn> cool, nice to talk to someone who was involved this early in DC management
[03:18] <leftyfb> I somewhat miss it
[03:19] <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 ;)
[03:20] <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
[03:21] <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
[03:22] <leftyfb> but yeah, nice little rack I rigged up there
[03:23] <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. ;)
[03:24] <tomreyn> << EU person
[03:24] <leftyfb> https://www.dropbox.com/s/onmj2j9x3zfca4d/2018-03-17%2022.12.41.jpg?dl=0
[03:25] <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 :)
[03:26] <tomreyn> looks like a fun project
[03:27] <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
[03:28] <tomreyn> :)
[03:29] <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
