  No. Put real world examples of your work. Homelab shit, word some shit you did for friends or family as work experience. Anything that isn’t just an outright lie.

  Just to help make you feel a bit better about your job hunt, I finally got a position with AWS after some 6 years of actively sending out applications and resumes to anyone and everyone. In the end what got me the job (I think) is real experience and good understanding of the basics needed for my position. No real experience in my new role but a lot of related experiences in previous. Also a lot of practice with Amazon’s STAR method of story telling, it really helps lay down the information that interviewers want to get out of you, even if they aren’t Amazon.

  It also doesn’t hurt to find and get certifications! There’s quite a few out there and can be gotten fairly easily and cheaply (and some not so cheaply lol)

  lol I feel small and inadequate.

  Have you had much in the way of bad luck with the move being done piecemeal?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moving servers and rack equipment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for all the information and tips everyone!
  In the end I’m gonna end up doing a combination of things.

  Spinning disk drives and power supplies are removed from all systems, large unsecured cards removed from desktop so they can’t flop around on the PCIe connection, servers removed from rack, everything wrapped and strapped down as needed.
  Drawers mounted in the rack will also be removed as well as UPS, everything else weighs next to nothing and can be safely left in the rack. Most likely store stuff in the cavity of the rack and then wrap the whole rack tight in a plastic packing wrap. I’ll get a moisture control box for closets, bathrooms, mud rooms and storage stuff to help control the humidity inside the trailer during the move.
  My trip will end up being around 1,600 miles in 2 parts. From Texas to Iowa to Virginia, so who knows what all kind of weather I’ll be hitting.

  Thanks again for all the help, I’m pretty confident I’ll be able to get everything moved safely.

  I like the plywood and felt pads idea, thank you.
  I’ll definitely be taking all the hard drives out and wrapping and packing them in boxes.

  Hard drives, especially spinning discs, and RAM are probably the biggest factor at idle. I dropped my servers’ idle draw from 220w to 180w by dropping it’s RAM and replacing some older drives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your Homelab goals for 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nginx is pretty simple to run as a reverse proxy. Caddy is even easier but not as scalable. HAProxy looks intimidating at first but it’s pretty easy and very scalable and performant. Wendell from Level1Techs has a nice writeup on their forums

  Frigate and a Coral TPU work amazing. I’ve had them and Home Assistant setup for the last year or so and have been quite happy.

  It’s worked pretty well ok for me, but I only really sim race so it’s all stationary and no controllers.

  Highly recommend setting up Envision so it can build and setup the Monado/XR environment
