The #homelab has been assembled. I need to sort out the cable management but the basic rundown is a Cisco 2960-X switch, patch panel, Dell PowerEdge R630, Dell PowerEdge R330, and Cyberpower rack mount UPS in a 12U rack. I'll go into my networking stack when I decide if I wanna use the switch or SDN or a combo of both for management. #homeserver #linux #datacenter

What #solar? What #wind? #Texas #datacenters build their own #gas #powerplants
On the old ranch across the street, developers want to build an complex of supercomputers for AI, plus a large, private power plant to run it.
The plant would be big enough to power a major city, with 1,200MW of planned generation capacity fueled by West Texas shale gas. It will only supply the new #datacenter, and possibly other large data centers recently proposed, down the road.

"#Datacenter boom may end up being "irrational," investor warns
A rush by large tech players to build so many data centers for #AI may end up being "irrational," and there's particular risk in building small nuclear reactors to run them, a prominent tech investor warned Wednesday."

The noise of #BitcoinMining is driving #Americans crazy
Constant hum of fans that cool #DataCenter computers is turning residents against #Trump's pro-#cryptocurrency agenda
Scientists are increasingly linking 'prolonged exposure to #NoisePollution with cardiovascular damage'
By Harriet Marsden, The Week UK
published 5 days ago
"The relentless '#MechanicalHowl' of a #cryptocurrency mining facility has become 'the soundtrack to life for hundreds of residents' in #GranburyTX, a small rural town in #Texas, said The Guardian.
" ;It echoes across agricultural land and forests, chasing away deer. It seeps into walls, vibrating bedrooms and dinner tables.' One resident said it was as though a 'jet engine is forever stationed nearby'.
"Bitcoin mining has exploded in the US over the past decade, particularly in the wake of Donald Trump's re-election to the White House and his embrace of cryptocurrency. But it's an energy-intensive process: the powerful computers that create and protect the cryptocurrency need fans on the go constantly to cool them down. And across #rural, mostly #Republican towns, residents are getting sick of the noise – and getting sick, full stop."
