I've finally powered on a 15 year old machine to run a bot I've been writing. The thing is slow as dirt and stuck behind a flakey power line network, but it's working. I got to write my first systemd service definition, which is kind of cool.

The computer I'm using currently, I set the BIOS in 2012. WHen I built it, I stuffed every last piece of cutting edge tech of the time into it. Dual CPU, SLI, started with 64gb ram then later on maxed the board out at 128gb. It's still a workhorse tho. It's one of the three I use all the time for music production, selfhosting etc.

My machine is not a workhorse. I got it second hand. It has around 8gb of RAM, and an 80gb HDD I found in a laptop.

But it's enough to work as a testbed, so it's fine with me.

This is the home lab creed: You do with what you have. Before I accumulated a bit of equipment, I've used laptops, RPi, minicomputers, at one time I had a cluster of Wyse thin clients bootstrapped together.
