@chaomodus carefully planned PATH :D

@vikxin yeah.

i THINK it's pre-BSD. maybe very early bsd tools. been a bit since i last touched it

@vikxin it's some very very old stuff. pre-BSD iirc

remember when i ran freebsd on the workstation and had 4 different userlands?

freebsd, heirloom, plan9, gnu

i miss that install. my environment was absolutely wonderful and so cozy

welcome to The Internet

(It’s an IBM POWER server)

No one cat should have all that POWER

i have a reputation for building a phone network in my apartment, don't i. :P

i am also not a telecom engineering. i just self-taught myself telecom in like a year. :P

the fun thing about me is i am not actually a network engineer. i just played with networks and worked for an ISP. no certs, just toying about

@natalie aww :(

heh my storage server is a little overengineered as well. :P

@natalie found the photo: http://i.imgur.com/ADsi9Qx.png

this was when my whole network was all cisco back in ohio. ran fibre from the upstairs to the basement and had a backup link over coax. STP reconverged fast enough VoIP calls were unaffected

@natalie fun fact: i once posted 4 server racks filled with random servers to /r/homelab

(post moving i am down to one much smaller rack)

yeah the hardware is reliable, monitored. need to tune alerting though.

everything from juniper to ubnt here. 1000/1000 symmetric GPON for ISP too

@natalie oh absolutely! i had a blast overengineering this

i may have overengineered my home network

oh fuck i forgot my home network has graylog

@wxcafe :P

@wxcafe this VM also runs netbox and oxidized

@wxcafe librenms :D
