@@robsyoutube That was the office, and not even one she had to work in. Pretty sure that would not have been accepted in the living room. By either of them probably.
@@farminglol When you realize Linus is planning to exhaust the heat from the server room into the pool in the future.
@@ZNotFound PC powered jacuzzi /s
@@ZNotFound Would actually be a pretty smart idea. And with water/water heat exchanger not even that hard to achieve. With full gaming load from the whole family, it might contribute quite a bit to heating the pool. Then again, it no longer contributes to heating the room at that point.
The title of this video made me think a well-endowed girl would appear somewhere during the segment.
Can we get some likes for whoever did the color grading on this footage? That HAD to be a nightmare with so much vibrant pink in every shot.
I dunno, they had the original sample, basically had a reference in every shot.
I'm sure it was very easy.
😳😳😳😳😳💀
That does beg the question, does the Editor also do the color grading or is that on the Art Director?
@@Neoxon619 the editor obviously
it's not that hard, lets be honest
Tom Scott also had a nightmare color grading his pink video czcams.com/video/_NzVmtbPOrM/video.html
"Rack Solutions will send me a thing of touch up paint anyway right?"
Frankly I'm surprised they didn't do that from the start if they knew literally anything about Linus.
I'm sure they want to hold on to that hot pink paint for all the orders they'll get for it..
I don't think they wanted to buy any more Pepto Pink Paint than they had to. So with Linus it might just be a few vials of touch up paint, or it might be a quart, you never know with him after all...
Am I the only one who saw him stab it lol
Linus thing size of paint would probably be gallon size.
Also, the paint's possibly why those nut things didn't fit any more
"Things we should have at the office that somehow ended up in Linus's house"
That Linus's speechless face after hearing that was priceless. LOL

She laughed?
@@cartoonhanks1708 Well... more like rolled her eyes. 😉
@Thomas Bonse I suppose when you’re married it’s pretty much the same thing lol.
@@TH3C001 Well, she reacted, which is the same if you've been married for a while. Worst is if she'd ignored it.
Linus: "RackSolutions will send me a thing of touch up paint anyways"
RackSolutions: "Hey it's Linus....Better send him 12 gallons"
Too bad it’s powder coating 😂😂
@@trav3rsy ackshully you can measure solids by volume.
It's very rarely done though.
@@adampope5107 The issue is that you can't apply powder coat without the right equipment.
No worries, Linus just has to take off the door and ship it back for repainting each time he chips it.
@@hentaihero2201 I know. It's just a joke.
LED lighting is on of the most criminally overlooked and underrated tech advancements in the past 25 years. That power draw decrease hits different especially when you start to add in the dramatically lower replacement rate.
Having fairly recently moved 3 x 48u racks up to a 2nd floor office by hand I can tell you that you Linus missed a trick here. You unpack it all in the loading area, and pull of all the doors then it makes the frame weigh a fraction of the fully assembled weight. You can easily carry just the frame and the doors separately, but I guess that wouldn't make as amusing video :)
Yepp, having moved a few hundred racks and their content between datacenters and multiple flights of stairs by hand, I fully agree. In addition to thay, I can confirm that dragging over 10 PB of storage on a cart with hard cast tires tends to weed out the weak drives from the rest. A great way to stop storing all that old useless data the beancounters want to keep around.
Props to RackSolutions for painting it extremely pink and how well it ended.
Honestly, that color is amazing. They really got that one right.
Agree
They usually run the shop like Henry Ford lol.
@@SixOThree And it feels like the video isn't doing it justice. Kind of like the video that Tom Scott published a long way back about the pink that he couldn't properly show on camera.

Employee: Paints home server rack pink
Normal Bosses: Why the hell would you do that?
Linus: I love it, the surface finish is so good.
"You always fill a rack from bottom to top"
*Proceeds to mount the remaining devices top to bottom*
Jake: There is a 25 gig coming out
...
...
Linus: Welcome to upgrading my home server!
What the gigs (referring about the 10 vs 25go) are for? I understand they are building a kind of an all-in one house network where he can have acces to video security, but I guess also manage device connected to it because it's a glorified routeur, but what the gigs are for the first device they install at the complete bottom of the rack?
@@Mutantproduct That is a UPS, ergo no gigs.
@@Mutantproduct moving data around, mo gigs, mo faster
@@Mutantproduct gig is short for Gigabits per second.
@@Mutantproduct The device at the bottom, with the lithium batteries, is a UPS. Which stands for "Uninterruptible Power Supply".
It's basically a power supply with a big battery in it, so if the power cuts out - e.g. there's a blackout on the local grid - then it can keep running the whole rack off the battery instead (at least for a while, because I mean racks use a lot of power, so you can't run them off batteries for too long - but the idea is it should be long enough for the blackout to end / backup generators to kick in / some alternative power solution to take over).
Depending on capacity, a UPS could just be to keep the rack alive long enough to safely shut down. Many UPSes have a signalling mechanism, so if the power does cut out and the rack goes onto batteries, it can actually signal this to the servers in the rack. You can then set those up to safely shut down the system, in the event of power loss - before the battery runs out. And by ensuring the machines can shut down cleanly, you can ensure no data loss.
With a bigger battery, though, you can keep the rack alive for longer and maybe you could keep things up for a while, which is hopefully long enough for the boys who run the grid to fix the power outage problem.
That's the essence of the "uninterruptible" part of the name. Not even blackouts will bring the rack down.
Mind you, Linus did say that he's going to have solar - and, presumably, a Powerwall to go with that, to fully utilise all that Sun power? - and those implicitly act as a kind of UPS too. At least as long as you've got enough sunshine in the day to fill the battery to last overnight, then the system can never go down while the Sun still rises every morning (plus, totally Greta-approved "eco" solution).
We had a small UPS for our cluster of servers at work (I'm the dude that built the cluster and runs it).
We had a local power outage. And the UPS totally worked. Our system stayed up for about 20 minutes and the local power was restored before then. It worked flawlessly.
Slight problem, though. Our ISP - delivering our Internet - clearly didn't have as robust of a system in place, as the Internet went down during the power outage. But, hey, our servers maintained their "uptime" perfectly. Just a shame that, during the blackout, they couldn't actually communicate with any other machines over the Internet, rendering that "victory" somewhat pointless.
But, hey, not my fault. I did my job perfectly and it worked. It was the boss who chose our ISP, so I can blame him for the poor decision.
Anyway, yeah, the device at the bottom is a battery-backed power supply. There are no "gigs" - which is a measure of connection speed - with that. It's a "volts and amps" power thing, not a "gigabits per second" bandwidth thing.
"We are such shills"
I know it's trendy to hate corporations and all, but if a group of hardworking people makes a great product, you shouldn't be ashamed to shill it; your opinion will inform my own buying decisions.
There is a big difference between "we pay CZcamsrs to push our stuff because its so crap no-one would buy it otherwise" and "we give stuff to CZcamsrs who will give is great exposure for our awesome products"
yah one involves lying
That moment when you realise that because it's double painted, the tolerance for cage nut spacing is reduced.
Ubiquiti cage nuts also suck. I've had some that just never went in. So I started getting AC Infinity cage nuts separately, they're almost too easy to put in.
Funnily enough RackSolutions Cage nut tool doest even support the Ubiquity Cage Nuts if you check on their product page
"they never painted a rack this colour before." I wonder why lol
This is awesome haha
Nobody who has ever tried using the Ubiquity cage nuts will laugh about you.
These things are impossible to put in by hand without hurting yourself.
Didn't Lawrence have a nuts that were plastic since all the metal ones suck in their rack video?
@@Braiam Yep.. but, I personally don't trust plastic enough. 🤦♂️
Ubiquiti requires a blood sacrifice to install its equipment
@@vdna5492 So they are really old-school. Back in the old days you couldn't build a PC without blood sacrifice on some panel or piece of sharp metal in the case.
This comment is on point! They are terrible!! I've ripped my thumbs apart fighting with them in the past. Never again! I just leave them right in the box!
This project will be finished just in time for Linus to move home again!
If I'm ever again giving a safety training at work on how to lift and carry something safely, I'll show this as everything not to do. Thanks! Love the color btw.
I'm convinced that Linus has quite literally adopted Jake. Jake Sebastian. Love it.
So when the west coast of Canada suffers a brownout it's just Linus firing up his home network.

@@Dgeigerd That's gonna be a Jackery
that unironically looks fantastic, props to the guys who put in the effort to paint it
oh, thanks Linus. Now my post has a heart on.
This could have also been titled: Linus fought a server rack. The rack won. :P
The dude's like a 110 pounds. A fucking toddler would beat him xD
I remember when Jake was young and new to the show. I love seeing him grow up and turn out as such then great and experienced person he is today.
His knowledge of both technical and random things and his chemistry with Linus put videos like this among my favorites.
When these two do anything resembling physical labor, my soul dies.
@@Boodoo4You yeah they did really well doing it the most difficult way possible,
If they unpacked it from where they started and removed both doors and side panels they woulda easily been able to carry it.
I want an hour long video of just this. More house vlog videos. I just like seeing Jake and Linus hanging around doing stuff :)
Jake is so knowledgeable. I also love Linus keeping his enthusiasm high after all those years.
I love how all of these videos are basically Linus saying 'if you try to find and show up to my new house, you will be on video from every angle, and it will be immensely high quality'
I work in datacentres and I am legitimately going to use this video to show new starters what not to do for rack to tile deliveries.
8:40 "life time of 10 years!" ok see you next year when you upgrade your entire server.😂
Hi, speaking up as one of those datacenter guys, laughing at this video ;-)
A pair of dollies is all you need to move a rack, if it has no wheels (or doesn't fit in the door).
There are special "Shoulder Dolly Moving Straps" for moving heavy items like washing machines across uneven surfaces without breaking your back.
As for the cage nuts, there is a has a really nice "Cage Nut Insertion/Removal Tool", it's tiny, but it's also just the right size. (FS has nice cage nuts)
Tip: Screw in the bottom bolts first, as they will keep your device upright.
Special tip: Splitting a 48-port switch into an upper and lower 24-port patch panel makes for a gorgeous build, if you use tiny patch cables.
Linus this must be your first rack mounting session. I highly suggest mounting the equipment in the following order. 1. Skip 1U. 2. Mount your fiber drawer. 3. Skip 1U. Mount a shelf for your ISP equipment. 4. Skip 1U. 5. Mount your Dream Machine Pro. 6. Mount your NVR. 7. Skip 1U. 8. Mount your first patch panel. 9. Mount your first switch. 10. Skip 1U. 11. Mount your second patch panel. Keep going until you have populated your rack. And of coarse put your UPSs at the bottom.
Send this one to the top of r/homelab!
Jeff, you got to send him a pi cluster!
@@gustavrsh yeah he could do ai facial recognition based profiles like spotify playlists on ceiling speakers or personal humidity and tempature levels.
probably enough space for a few Petabytes… where‘s the 1PB Ram servers?😂
lol
Hello Jeff, good to see you.
As a mover, I cried over how many ways they could've moved that rack in a much easier way. Espeacially if they had a dolly
They're a little old to be playing with a dolly...
Clearly not a mover if he is calling it a dolly
@@TheGamingJs at my job we either called it a dolly or we went with 2-wheeler and 4-wheeler to better specify what we needed.
@@justinmcgough3958 and a 6 wheeler does stairs ...

@@TheGamingJs most people I know call it a dolly over a hand truck fym my guy lmao
I love these videos with your personal network/house/nas projects, keep em coming! And i love the "flow" between you and Jake - half of what makes it great :)
just gotta say I really appreciate the chapters it make it so easy to go back to a video and find a bit of info I need.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much Jake has worked on his on-screen persona? He is still being Jake but at least for me, he has become much more enjoyable over the past 2 years.
Nope, he's still annoying as fuck.
@@ChrisTurnerDev it's all just banter. Don't take his jokes seriously
I never understood the hate on jake like what’s annoying about him?
I agree. I couldn't stand him before. Now I know it's an interesting video if Jake is it
Agreed, for sure. Acted like an immature spoiled brat, cocky and annoying. Now he's just immature and annoying, which give a nice chemistry with Linus.
"They have a 25 gig coming out" Linus: "Yvonne! I need a credit card!"
Mikrotic has a switch with a couple of 100Gb ports too I think!
@@PWingert1966 I don’t think Linus will need that in his house tho
@@dinhductien2005 downvote
@@dinhductien2005 You sure about that?
@@joester4life I will say 50% because in the Linus' new NAS video, he is only consider going 25 gig
17:28 Dude, it's like the hole pattern on the front of the rack combines with the pixelization effect to create what looks like a wave interference pattern. I guess this is a Moiré effect? Which I suppose is in itself a type of interference pattern. It looks wild.
I love these home upgrade vids. Could have watched hours of this!
Jake: "there's gotta be some data center guy here, that's just sitting here laughing at us"
Me: Data center guy, can confirm though a light chuckling. Helpfully, I can recommend the CPI Clik-nut cage nuts. No tools, no fighting, no blood, no tears. Just install and go.
Heh, that was a catchy section indeed. :)
I've just accepted that the network racks require a blood sacrifice to stay off future failures.
no blood?? how do you appease the Datacenter gods?
BUT it was painted 2x...so likely made it nearly impossible to get them installed.
I also like the Patchbox Dev/Mount solution for mounting things, never had such an easy time building out a rack as when i used those.
Linus: "Yvonne, I think we need to move again."
Yvonne: "BLEEP! BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP!"
Linus: "We'll talk about it later..."
Yvonne: [shakes head in disgust]
How does she put up with him? lol
@@Admiralfeb Because he makes millions
I once had to install a rack in a Firehall in North Vancouver. On the second floor. With no elevator. I took the sides and doors off (they make up a LOT of the weight).. and then got the firefighters to carry it up the stairs. Another time I had to roll two of them up Thurlow street to move offices.. they were VERY loud on the pavement. Many fun stories..
Nice ceiling, Trus Joists I beams. I worked at Trus Joist from 1997 to 2008 in maintaenance keeping the plant running before they shut the plant down overnight. It was owned by Weyerhauser a Canadian lumber company.
Linus: "You're not my mom"
Jake in Darth Vader voice: "I'm your dad"
hahahah dead
Linus: will leverage every ounce of bleeding edge technology in his new house or for his employees work flows.
Also Linus: doesn’t rent or buy a $20 dolly to transport his hand painted custom built server rack.

Hey! I can be that data center guy at 11:33. That tools pretty rare, I'm the only one I know who doesn't just use the little pull through one that comes with the bags of nuts. It's amazing once you get the hang of it. You have to rock them in from inside to out. The opposite of what ya'll were trying. I actually carry that thing, the toe nail clipper one, and the screwdriver handle J hook one since all have a specific time when they're the fastest. Sometime the cage nut wings are too wide or the holes are out of spec and you need the screw driver handle J hook one to force them in.
Rack solutions needs to make that thing out of slightly stronger metal, or maybe just thiker. I discovered that really squeezing on it I can bend the crappy cage nuts and I can get it to work almost everywhere.... but now my handles are bending.
@@kwith You're lucky he's not barefoot in his own house.
I've always had decent luck with the way Linus ended up doing it - Line up up side and "thumb" the other side in with a flathead screwdriver
Fairly reliable, with a common tool
Give hate on this video
czcams.com/video/_DIO9JZgek0/video.html
We need much more content of this rack you have at home. Just go ALL out on this one.
I really love those videos. Jake and Linus have such a great chemistry.
Sick rack! I’d REALLY recommend doing an aggregation switch rather than chaining the 10g enterprise switches. You’d eliminate a bottle neck and eliminate a point of failure. Drop the NVRs on the aggregation switch then too.
We just put one of the aggregation switches in my company’s server room, it’s a nice piece of kit!
"there's going to be some data centre guy sitting laughing at us"... There was, I am him! (did think it was funny to see a dedicated tool for cage nuts, I normally use a small flat headed screwdriver Put 1 end in and then use the screwdriver to put the other side)
I wasn't laughing as much as asking if they simply couldn't watch a CZcams video on installing cage nuts.
Almost every rack I've had to build has come with it's own little hook tool to pull the cage nuts into place.
i've used those ubiquiti cage nuts before... they do just suck. cheap amazon ones work so much better.
"yeah, Racksolutions here. You really did mess up our awesome paintjob there, Linus. Better get those lime-green cables asap!"
unpacking and rolling the cabinet off skid is something I do at work -- never thought to see someone do it at home
I love it when Linus shows us his Rack that's full of silicon.
*silicone
@@InventorZahran whoosh
Its a Double D rack and Linus is having trouble with the nipples.

@@InventorZahran um no, silicone is the heat resistant rubbery material and silicon is the element made from silica sand which is used for ic's and processors
11:33 Laughing with you.
Watching rack install without all the safety and documentation procedures is highly entertaining and refreshing.
I am loving this whole series
Datacenter engineer here and yes I was laughing, you now might have figured out painting the actual rack mounting holes is a bad idea 😂😂
Are the clearances really that tight?
Yes.
Linus: "Yvonne how do you like my new rack?"
The look on her face .... was waiting for "Enjoy it cause it's the last time you're going to see mine"
You’d think she would be used to him after all these years.
Based on this video, I feel like Linus' new home is so large it has distinct biomes.
Very underrated comment 😂
It's like a metroid game or something
Data Center guy here, definitely chuckling. Cage nuts = broken and skinned finger tips but for $1.99 you can use this fine aluminum cage nut puller from APC that works great and doesn't make you as irate. Also one more tip, please verify all your soon to be installed equipment and adjust your internal rails before racking. Unless you want any front cables to be crushed by that door.
This is what I sub for. Looove this whole series!
As a previous data center tech, you're missing the tool generally used to install rack nuts. It's just a flat piece of steel with a small tab that you can use to pull the nut into the hole from the front of the rack. It's way faster and more useable than one of the squeeze tools.
Yeeeeaaaaah. I thought those came in the bag of cage nuts that generally ship with racks.
If their rack didn't come with it, that's either one sadistic vendor or a really nasty oversight.
Done a tonne of work in DCs and hadn't known of those tools for years, was the best work day almost ever when I got a few

Linus: "No, I chipped it!"
Me: "That's what you get for using an adjustable wrench."
Seriously. They don't call those things "nut-f***ers" for nothing. They will slip and destroy everything they touch. This is a guarantee. You should have been using a socket and a ratchet to unbolt that thing from the skid.
my most prized tool is a thumb detecting nut fucker, its good for nothing but destruction, but its so good at it...
thank you for this factoid
more like it should be called a Linus tool its just like him will let it slip and destroy everything it touches.
Crescent wrenches, also known as "Adjustable Spanners', or more lovingly the 'Mexican Speed Wrench', or 'Swedish Nut Rounder'
As someone who has uncrated many racks fully loaded with gear for data centers...impact guns with socket adapters are the way to go.... Also, there's supposed to be a ramp included in the skid so you can just roll the rack down...
These 2 are so entertaining together its fascinating. Reminds me of my best bud.
i really love those infrastructure videos and add some more tech details !
I've had to move these up 4 flights of stairs in the past at my old job, easiest way is to take the side panels off and stand inside it to share the load at a reasonable height with 3 people.
Sharing loads inside big racks? That sounds a bit cozy.
At work we always remove all the side panels and doors of new racks when stairs are involved (On the way to the final destination of the rack) ;)
@@papapetad sounds like ?a threesome? foursome maybe? Unappealing either way
"Huh, Linus isn't wearing steelies for this job, not sure that was a good id..."
"OH MY FOOT!"
I did not even think Lunis owned a pair of actual shoes.
I can't believe hes wearing shoes. Everything in the rack will need a repaint to match. I bet the layers of paint are what make the rack nut openings smaller. Will Linus move in before his kids graduate High School?
@@jasonfabrick9308 I don''t know. I deal with servers in a rack at work.
Nuts, rails, all of that stuff. It always sucks. Doesn't matter who the manufacturer is.
The usual goal is to try to get things done, whilst only suffering two or three minor flesh wounds. If you can manage that, then you've done a good job.
Reminds me of my teenager RC car times. Making your racer as neon bright acid coloured as possible was kinda THEE hype back then. Having your off road buggy or stadium truck causing eye cancer was half winning any comkpetition :D
Jake has literally my dream job, he literally just researches the coolest products he possibly can, and then orders them. And for some projects he will order a bunch of different products that work together, and he has to make the decision of which is the best one. Which is like my favorite part of shopping. God Jake you are a lucky man be grateful for what you’ve been given.
It's all just free advertising for their 'sponsors'. He has so many subscribers and viewers. Eventually they will hit a wall when they've finally reviewed everything possible. At some point he will spin off a sub-channel to start reviewing non-tech products.

You need some lifting straps that movers use. They work really good. Uses your legs and you balance the object with your arms.
You should've gotten the Switch Pro Aggregation - UDM-Pro connects to the aggregation switch, then from there you can do either single or dual 25 gig to the two 10gig switches and then 10gig to everything else.
I love seeing server racks painted unconventionally. I also especially like seeing videos like this making the rounds at the office because the tech-averse bosses are always absolutely *amazed* that there isn't a written law somewhere that says that everything about your infrastructure has to be either beige, black or Mac-white.
In everyday cases, your average employee never so much as looks at that rack, ever. If it's only ever going to be seen and interacted with by people in the field, then why *not* paint it some gaudy shade of neon pink?
bosses care about $$$$ not color nor fashion.
don't know where you work or who your bosses are but unfortunately your comment doesn't make sense.
its like a janitor complaining about the color of the urinal dividers or toilet stalls. who gives a chit? and how can the color change or affect anything or anyone ?
@@bober1019 Color's a marker of personality.
As I mentioned, my bosses aren't tech-savvy. Where you're right is that they only care about up-front costs *at the onset*, but add a few years of watching the IT guys disappear into that weird, dark, screaming closet where strange machines sound like they're powered by their own decibel output; and some familiarity starts to set in...
I don't think a small Marketing agency that handles car dealerships around Eastern Canada would ever see the need to spray-paint a server rack hot pink - but the *possibility* of it amused my higher-ups. That's what my comment was pointing towards.
It's led to a few jokes and comments concerning how we might conceivably make the server room more "liveable". When Management figured we needed to revamp our furniture, we repurposed two chairs and a side table, set a few blank mugs and magazines on it, and staged a mock lounge right next to the rack, complete with a nice little bowl holding a few pairs of disposable foam ear plugs. We took a few pics, pretended to be chilling out, then brought the stuff out and chucked it in the trash container.
It got a few laughs out of our colleagues, at least.
@@McSquiddington You laugh, I've seen things in server rooms at NBC. They're probably gone by now. People practically live there.
@@firesurfer Wouldn't be surprised if someone thought up a fake set of racks that hides a Murphy bed, or if some CTO figured they'd stash their weed in some corner...

You should’ve moved back the front vertical mounting rails (you know, the things where you put your cage nuts in).
Decent racks have the option to do so, there’ll be pre-drilled and tapped holes for your bolts in the bottom of the rack.
If you’re going to mount appliances with front IO, you otherwise won’t be able to close the front door.
Decent racks are deep enough to house full depth servers even if the you move back the mounting rails
The cage nuts... right there with yah, guys!
18:45 “that is some nerdy, nerdy shiz” says the guy who has a bright pink server rack 😂
2:31 THAT HAS TO BE INTENTIONAL
The camera angle and what they say. Oh god
Yes, they having sex.
I had to scroll way too far to find someone mentioning this
@@JuanSanchez-zz3me lol I couldn't find any other comments either
linus briefly singing fall out boy was the biggest shock I've ever gotten from an LTT video
I really hope you make a neat install in that rack - ziptied and everything and nlt a cable mess
Low key thought I was on the wrong video site.
Do you just have those bookmarks next to one another
*Don't get heartbroken Linus. You're still the champion in my book. We'll do it in 2022 Australia. And that damn smile of yours. Keep smiling champ*
Yeah Linus with his Kiwis have played really well.
That paint job is just perfect
If its not too late for your 48 port switch I would change your patch panel layout so you have a 24 port patch panel above and below the switch, makes it look really tidy and easy to see every connection.
These kind of videos are so much fun and interesting. At least I can live the dream of having a tech house by watching these!
that's what living vicariously means
The house restauration turns into a sponsor exhibition - who would have seen this coming. Awesome :D
Did a job once that was pink patch panels. Every color I suggested using for our system the building manager would say, nope that's fire, nope that security, nope that this or that. Finally, I said how about pink! Turned out looking pretty cool
I love these chapter names
I would recommend few things. You should move the front rails at least 5in from the front for easy cabling. Add vertical PDU (can be custom powdercoated from company like Raritan) and using L6-30R sockets so you'll get 5.7kW of power for futur needs. This would also needs a bigger UPS with L6-30R sockets, the best are the "online" ups, Toshiba got great products and this would also protect you from over/under voltage and noise.
Yeah, I don't know who was in charge of building all this out. Whoever it was needs a remedial course in reading and critical thinking.
@@AC-cg4be Jake’s in charge of planning it all out, but I think it’s important to note that they’re making as much use of sponsored hardware as possible to lower costs - so other options may not make sense financially.
@TheFutboljunky What do you mean?! Dont you just love it when you get your daily dose of condescending tone from a stranger on internet! They absolutely know everything and have the right to be an absolute a-hole.
Give hate on this video

11:34 when you´re a Datacentre guy and you like seeing people having the same troubles. :D
and we use Rittal TS 8 racks. you can disasemble it completley down to just the Cube holding all together and you can transport everything easily. where the heaviest part is the closed side panels, and you get some space on the sides to install cable manegment vertically
You should absolutely ground the rack. Working in a datacenter, I always knew which racks were and weren't grounded as they would reliably shock you every time you touched them.
That paint job is super satisfying
jake: "you know they have a 25 gig coming out"
linus: "oo really"
jake: THE NEGOSHIATOR
Shit this is like the most liked comment I have ever had
I swear all you got to do is say either the most relatable or mildly funny shit and it blows up
Might as well go for 100 Gbps at that point.

Ubiquiti switches have a neat feature where you can scan a code kinda thing on the mini screen with your phone and get an AR view with information on all the ports, like which IP Adress the device on the other end has. If you play your cards right there is no need for labeling and no guesswork.
Only available in the iOS version of the app still sadly.
"We are going to put the UPS at the bottom to not make it top-heavy"
**30minutes later**
*puts everything else on top slots making the rack top-heavy
Linus drop tips
Correction. Linus said that's the USUAL reason the UPS is on the bottom due to the typical lead-acid batteries in them (which tend to have as much mass as everything else in a rack alone). Not sure his logic on this one though.
he will have some heavier servers down lower in the rack so this makes sense
Well, finally the sheet metal of Linus old car got recycled and ended up as a rack, even the colour was intact!
What a good way of recycling 😁
