☑️ Ran out of sockets on home desk I now own a massive PDU
☑️ Want desk metrics for power consumption
☑️ Ebay had £80 switched PDUs
one honk maybe more
My flat however doesn't have a 16amp socket ( How inconsiderate ) This probably isn't the best thing to do, but it works.
Magic ICMP ping sizes to set network configuration, this PDU is off to a good start!
This thing has XKCD style reboot functionality, why fix issues when you can reboot the servers every day!
I now have a simple UDP packet that switches ports on/off. The obvious next step was to play the drum beat of "Out here" on my PDU https://t.co/YIcQ4ATiBw
Cables arrived today, now to slowly move everything over. In the mean time I will stare at my power consumption metrics
