💻 Hello Old Friend, Talos II 💻

This was my first IBM POWER9 system, acquired in 2020 and built for home/desk use. Dual socket SMT4 Sforza, 144 threads, 256-512GB RAM, various storage/net/accelerators over the years. [1]

As expected, I fell in love and acquired four IBM Power System L922-2U [2], which are presently in the colo awaiting network rebuild (remote hands this time).

The Talos II has served a variety of purposes, with most of its time running FreeBSD PPC64le (&a bit of PPC64be for fun). Sometimes also Linux, back when I was tearing into qemu code for compiler optimization hypothesis testing, RTX GPU passthrough, +validating assumptions about qemu on P9/le handling amd64 & arm64 emulation.

So, out of storage! Into the rack! New user accounts! But first it needs updated OS drives (the 3x 64GB SATADOM in Raid-Z1 need to be repurposed), and a NIC (25G-DP CX-5 or X710-DA4).

Eva's Talos II system, sitting on a storage push-cart, resting atop a 48 port switch for fun and ... "ESD protection?"... in transit back to its proper home.
Top-Down view inside of Eva's Talos II system, featuring dual IBM POWER9 SMT4 Sforza SKU, with a total 144 hardware threads (4 threads per core).
A front view from one of Eva's "HomeLab spill-over into the colo"... server racks, with a pink overlay box indicating the location of three IBM LC-922 Power9 systems. Above those are various Dell PowerEdge servers and an Arista DCS-7060CX-32S switch (ports facing rear). Located at the base of the rack is an APC UPS and APC ATS, handling automated failover of facility / battery power sources for casually "some-9s of uptime" high-availability compliance.

Have I been living under a rock or have #colo gotten really cheap?
I'm starting to consider putting my #HomeLab servers in a colo facility and noticed that @Hetzner_Online rents 1/3 cabinet for 100euros/month
hetzner.com/colocation/13-rack
Of course, they only have locations in Europe and I _think_ shipping my servers there would not be feasible.

If anyone has suggestions for US facilities, LMK (I don't expect to need to visit these machines, btw)

www.hetzner.comColocationQuality colocation racks with up to 47 unit rack spaces and redundant power supply are lightning quick, cost-efficient, and have a faultless Internet connection.
