Then you cannot use an electric belt winder there. Or need an alternative like a motor for the roller shutters.

gemini seems to know...:
Technically, you only need one—provided it's the right kind of "rack."
If we are talking about the word itself, you just need to add two letters ("o" and "o") to the end of one rack. However, if you are looking for a more "punny" breakdown of how many racks it takes to build a raccoon, here is the math:
The Raccoon Composition
1 Rack: For the base infrastructure.
- 2 "O"s: These represent the dark circles around the eyes (the mask).
= 1 Raccoon.
On a more serious note, if you are asking because you’re worried about your server room attracting actual wildlife, standard data center best practices usually recommend keeping the number of raccoons at exactly zero. They are notorious for cable management "adjustments" that usually involve their teeth.
Are you planning to expand your current setup, or just looking for an excuse to get a trash panda mascot for the lab?

I only watch sports and few other things on broadcast TV and usually record and FF the commercials. Now Channels will do that. I have all the usual streaming services. I don't need Channels and HDHome run, it's something to play with now that I don't do 8-5 grind any more.

last cedar
Details!
unborn merlin
24VDC UPS, DC-ATX supply for my new server.. and etc
last cedar
Aha!
I have been wondering how to approach this when I get my solar setup actually
I was thinking if running a seperate inverter off the 48V bus to the server rack
last cedar
Say a pheonix victron model, but it wouldn't be fantastically efficient
unborn merlin
i'm aiming to have as few power bricks as possible
gonna just have a big 20a 24v rail to tap stuff off
last cedar
This makes a lot of sense
unborn merlin
then buck converters to step down most things
... still working on powering my unifi fiber gateway tho off it
will need a boost converter for that.. and its a weird voltage
last cedar
I have a proper atx machine and some elitedesks and such
Are you going with all dc powered stuff with bricks and then deleting the bricks?
I was thinking of piping 48V to the rack and then running it off that, locally, some stuff will run on 19, some needs 48, some needs AC at the moment
unborn merlin
no i'm using some phoenix contact industrial stuff
last cedar
I am looking forward to some pictures when it is all done 😄
I believe supermicro has a 48V DC PSU for my 846 box, but I bet I couldn't afford one lol
unborn merlin
different picture doing a preliminary fit
the bigger brick in green and silver is the PSU and the smaller is the DC UPS
because industry stuff.. is small when its just DC 😛
that was doing different stacks tho.. now they're mostly wrapped up into stacks of 6 with kapton and etc
for now tho I pass the fuck out.. then think more tomororw.. leaning towards just maybe 3d printing with some metal rods or alu channel pressed into things to provide more rigidity... I don't intend to be running these that hard anyways
https://batteryhookup.com/products/used-3-2v-20ah-64wh-lifepo4-prismatic-cells
Its a bunch of these..
-
Charge: 0.5–1C (10–20A) recommended
-
Discharge: 1C continuous (20A), with short bursts possibly higher
considering my UPS is only rated for 20a output..
and I am running.. 8S6P..
... yeah I don't think these cells are gonna be trying very hard
I probably could've gotten nicer if I could handle stud welding (too expensive) or laser welding (also too expensive) to access other batteries..
last cedar
Very interesting project
The cells do need some compression though right, to stop swelling?
unborn merlin
so I've heard from research
a few are already marginally puffed, but its more or less fine I think they've reshaped slightly after I compressed them and then wrapped em with tape.. 🤣
I could also.. probably.. just.. do two plates?
unborn merlin
make 3d prints on the bottom for spacing and use the bottom of this stupid metal case as the plate for the other side
since I can install rivnuts into either.

Short Circuit Protection - 5400a
but seeing as I wanted more density.. 20ah cells for 5$/ea on tax return I got 48x of em. xD
last cedar
"Note: you will have to wrap these cells with shrink wrap or many people use the green barley paper for insulation. The cells are naked and the outer shell of the battery is all negative so you cannot put these in series touching each other. You need some sort of insulation between the cells to ensure they do not touch."

Dimensions of the cells are roughly 2" diameter and 8.75" tall and weight is roughly 3 lbs per cell.

that sounds like one of the idler things that rides in the rail is no longer running properly square.
Ie: the open bearing that isnt lubricated is utterly fucked probably.
And whats "serviced"? 🤣
if serviced isn't.. "and replaced bad bearings" then its likely the problem

Cat7 for complete house, what a *** cable to run.. stiff as hell .
cat7 isn’t a real standard so it might not be up to cat6 standards, make sure you test it
The standard after cat6a is cat8
dusty mica
Confirm, but does the job nicely so far.
vivid wraith
It was a marketing gimmick by cable manufacturers who wanted to advertise something as better than cat 6a when cat8 wasn’t standardized yet, but as a result there’s a lot of cat7 labeled stuff out there no better than cat5e
It’s a mixed bag, basically

Re: Channels and HDHomeRun. Running a cable to my attic for antenna was going to be complicated $$. I decided to try using a TP-Link RE615X WiFi extender located in my attic. It has a 1 GB Ethernet port as well and being a WiFi extender. Works like champ. 9 ms latency using MultiPing on Desk-Top (via WiFi) -> Router -> Extender-> HDHomeRun and 400 Mbs throughput to the internet. My cheap-ass little antenna working great

Should probably be fine. My HDHomerun is just FE and not GigE

That's my strategy. I invariably dislike something about a card and then end up applying some sort of card_mod to all my cards

Then get forced to take a holiday if you build up too much

PTO builds up for a set amount and afterwards is dropped, sometimes they'll drop on year end of you haven't used it, sometimes it's just a set amount that it's not allowed to accumulate over
But yeah like everyone said, why aren't you taking vacations
