The beer in the sink is a nice touch.

But this means you can’t take showers, only baths, unless there’s another bathroom with a shower.

check the corner, walk in shower

best part is the rent is only 4,000 a month (I live in the bay area)

…and this is why there are people in California (especially in Silicone Valley) with multiple full-time/part-time jobs yet are homeless. Sigh…

New desk, work in progress.

  • EDIT- I suppose I should describe it a bit-

Rocking a teksyndicate mouse and lvl1 dual monitor KVM. Main rig is Windows to serve as a good type 2 hypervisor, been too lazy to make the full transition to Linux w/ Windows VM for when it’s absolutely necessary. Docking station to the right for a T420 with Linux, other docking station is for the work laptop. On the other side of the room is the z800 running as my ESXi type 1 with 5 2TB HDDs connected to an LSI chip in IT mode so that I can virtualize FreeNAS but give it direct access (via passthrough) to the HDDs to get all of that ZFS goodness. The second NIC on the z800 goes directly to a LAMP stack WordPress build using my domain name- its a default build, I haven’t even customized it (its the demo site), its just there as it makes the pfsense logs interesting. The site is probably a good opportunity to self host a blog or something for resume purposes- uhhg, more work. Other VMs is Plex, Splunk and some other stuff.

I’m not an apple guy, but for some reason I like their keyboards- the new MS keyboards look like they might feel similar, they have a finger print sensor and I like how they go about being wireless, so maybe thats in my future.

Monitor to the right is showing pfsense logs and freenas samba share logs, the latter I want to work on installing the restfulapi app integration with Splunk to get a turn-key FreeNAS dashboard installed- but then to add to it these samba logs in and make a FreeNAS share dashboard. The geomaps are A3Sec’s dashboard for pfsense- just awesome, and I added the missile-app (yet another awesome group of peeps) panel at the bottom. I need to restore the Snort dashboard functionality- lazy. The Kali neofetch is there to admit, I’m script kiddie at best, but I’m working to crawl out of that.

Mind telling me what that small monitor is that seems to show temperatures?

Mirin workflow. You consider WSL or MobaXTerm over Putty? It’ll change your life :grin:

Looking at MobaXTerm and WSL makes me feel so dated haha. Can you explain Mirin workflow, google isn’t helping me there (or is it suggesting cookpad / mirin?).

Mirin’ == I admire or I’m admiring

Lazy/Internet slang. My bad :grin: :frowning_face:

MobaXTerm is great for X11 forwarding on Windows! :open_mouth: It does -X by default.

WSL is great for everything else.

Yet I’m further dated haha.

Your turning my life upside down- I have some things to mess around with when I get home.

I’m hoping if I continue to refine the battle station, I get into a grove of actually doing stuff when I get home. Like a stubborn mule, I’m finding it hard to kick back into gear after driving home.

I like the sound of not having too many tools- have just a few things that pretty much do all the things is nice. Editing my picture post, figured I should at least put some info.

What do you write in the Moleskine?

Code, scripts, stories, ideas, flowcharts? :grin:

Lolz, none of the above- IP addresses, account info, setup information that if I otherwise forget, sets me back- oh yeah, some ideas for sure- need to write it down to help visualize and execute, and fill in notes a long the way. I also use google blogger for notes so that its in reliable (up time) and easy to access place.
