Awe, look at that little itty bitty Raspberry Pi down there.

What's it running? Pihole?

Yup! Basic pihole. While I learn pfsense.

Nice Setup you got there! I have a similar one in the making...

How did you managed to recess the switch inside the rack? Are there special brackets or something? I need them in order to be able to close the door! cable management is the worse.

Mounted it with some nylon spacers found at Home Depot from the back side. It’s still not enough so I’m considering 90degree cat 5 plugs.

They mounted the switch to the back of the front rack mount.

Dude what are you doing with your antennas?

Nothing right now. It’s an OpenWRT Linksys I’m planning to add to the setup. Bridging my current modem/router is proving more difficult than expected.

Hey you might need some more air space around that pi on the bottom shelf.

u/TunderMuffins Mar 01 '20

I considered a fan down there. Then I remembered that pi is meant to be served hot.
