It isn't yet summer, is it? But damn it's already warm. It hasn't rain in weeks. Everything is so dry. But it's been a few days in a raw above 29 degC. That means it's getting warm even in my garage, which mean some servers have to be stopped since I don't have any aircon. This site and main mirrors are fine, but my main NFS server doesn't like heat, so better turn it off. If I don't need CPU power, meaning I am good with some little arm64 SBC and hardware like APU2C4, for the storage that's another problem. My NFS box runs 8x HDD and I don't really see an alternative to that. And that RAID array just doesn't cope well with heat. I should probably try to find a JBOD only rather than running those disk in a server but emby still needs a bit of CPU and RAM. I am sure someone will at some point get some arm64 box designed to stay cool, use not much power and host a bunch of drives.
Well, that also means the pool season is open ! The robot is doing the cleaning and today was the first day swimming again. So can't complain too much. I made a bit of progress on my mobile solar station, that will be worth a whole article at some point. But I should be good to power this capsule only with Solar. I will keep you guys posted once there's something worth sharing.
Happy gemini browsing to those who read this page!
