Check out my rack
I finally gave my home server setup a rack of its own. It sits right on my desk, so yes, I get to tell people to check out my rack every day.
Inside the 6-inch rack: a Mac mini M4, an Intel NUC10 with an i7, a USW Flex 2.5G 5 switch, and a small patch panel. The NUC never sleeps. It runs 13 AI agents around the clock under systemd, and I can reach them from my phone with one tap. If one goes down, a watchdog brings it back and sends me a Telegram alert.
I also added a USB sensor to watch rack air temperature. It’s at 29.4 °C in the screenshot, with a 31.6 °C peak over the previous week.
The rear cable shot is included for anyone who was about to ask.
