Thanks yea I've used Codeberg before, but the main reason I use GitHub, is I try to create a good looking profile to point potential new Clients to when I'm looking for a new job, explaining Codeberg to them I feel is a step too much, and my income is Priority Nr1.

I'll fight the Open-Source, anti-Big-Tech fight elsewhere.

Looks like youve done your research!

Depending on the kettle model, most draw just under 10A these days. General household outlets (at least in australia) are only rated for 10A anyway.

Ive used hundreds of kettle leads in my time and never seen one used for an actual kettle funnily enough

It is pretty awesome, only real problem is that if you have to replace anything in the middle, you have to shutdown everything above it too.

That being said, it's pretty fucking rad.

I’ve thought about this exact problem and I find this very pleasing to look at. Nice work

Hah, yea I used a pre made box to cover off on safety in the lazy way. Using one of these boards inside it: https://a.co/d/08aDId5p

Most of my custom work was on the front so I could fit multiple mini PCs side by side. Everything designed in FreeCAD with color coded cables per machine 😀

Edit: ignore the circle. Apparently this photo was used to tell my partner what to unplug during some testing.

It might be clearer to say it's more like your house wiring, instead of a power strip.

This is almost exactly how outlets are Daisy chained through a run.

Basically you have a homelab where every device is plugged into the next outlet along a wall, with each outlet being really close together.

Power strips run in parallel that's one point of failure for the whole rig.

Your setup runs in series. That's on point of failure per powered device in the rig.

And if it doesn't run in series, you really need to explain the wiring on the back of your rig, because I cannot make sense of it otherwise.

Huh? What is the mains cable mess for then?

I see..

I rolled into it few months ago and am getting ready for a exchange trip to Spain so it got burned into my brain by now.

I knew a couple of people who studied in continental Europe under the Erasmus scheme before Brexit, and the far right were always claiming during the referendum campaign that the EU would never chuck the UK out of anything because we're so awesome and they need us and our money so much. Turns out there's a limit to how much a club misses its most loudly critical influential member.

So amongst Europhile Brits, Erasmus means young people's opportunities to study abroad first, and name from history that it honours second. I might not have heard of Erasmus if it weren't for the Erasmus scheme, and I had to check just now whether he was a historical figure or someone from Greek mythology. Awesome surname for a person in real life to have, though.
