Adding a note section on this site
I've been thinking about being able to post short "updates" on this site. And tried, unsuccessfully, to implement it many times. I'm giving it another go!
Upgrade my file server; Zeta
With only an Intel Pentium G4560 CPU, my file server is a bit weak. It needs an upgrade!
Redundant core switches, with MLAG
I now have two MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+, the plan is to connect distribution switches and servers to both and use MLAG.
DIY fire alarm
I'm looking into implementing professional smoke detectors into my RPi security system.
