Can I just say I really like the idea of the IT field being pitched to a new audience? This is refreshing and will likely reault in new, aesthetic-driven designs being viable.
As a C level at a cloud computing company I couldn't agree more, it's utterly impossible to find female infrastructure engineers. When we go to software conferences there still are a few woman. But once its infrastructure only the woman basically disappear from existance. If have been at events for networking equipment with hundreds of people and only 2 bar staff where female. It's a serious problem.
@@malloot9224 Calling a natural, biological and psychological difference betwen woman's and man's psyche "a serious problem" is a problem itself. Why would you need, expect, or would want more woman in a field that's basically appealing to man? Do you think woman would need more men in kindergartens, or at their hand woven communities? @axelkusanagi4139 text about aesthetics is also cringe. Hardware has to work not look. And will all due respect, as fun as this video can be for informational purposes, as an IT professional myself I don't see any need or purpose in having my own full blown network infrastructure at house, or network bandwith being bigger than 30Mbps. It's nothing more than consumptionism. People just don't know how to spend their money. And yet they are terribly concerned about Planet Earth while at least every second year they do an upgrade. xD A nice channel, marketed with pretty face that earns her money by showing IT gear.
@@malloot9224 as a woman who loves infrastructure and messes with servers as a hobby it's also refreshing to see more of us in the field, I also love making stuff nice to look as especially if they're going to be staying in my home permanently and I've never really seen any videos about this subject where the cute gamery aesthetics where one of the main focuses
The title XDDD
XD
def on purpose.
💀
I didn't even clock that XD
Wait, this isn't the hub
That title tho 😭
That title tho!
That title tho
I almost coomed everywhere
God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life
Forsure pink WAP
I want my innocence back. There was I time when, if I saw the letters W A & P together, the first words I thought of were Wireless Acess Point.
That time has sadly passed.
I was thinking more along the lines of ye olde mobile internet here when i saw this.
LMAO
She did it on pourpouse to get more views.
I dispair with you friend.
This is why i dont watch that video.
The innuendos in the title made me smile. Good job!
Exactly
Came here to say just this. Great minds think alike.
I thought I was just being a pervert.
God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life
@Tony Not even with cream?
And so it begins!
Next weeks video will be "My new 52U rack has arrived!"
Once you start getting things into racks you won't be able to stop!
So refreshing to have a Female tech reviewer. Here's to hoping you get more opportunity and success.
Pi-hole setup video would be good too, I hadn't heard of this until now.
linus did a video on it ...
oh you can have a need for it :)
my PC sits on a 12U rack on wheels. You can use rack units for lots of things like..
-audio interface if you intend to use real microphones for chat/streaming
-Power strips/power conditionner, to avoid PFC buzzing on your power supply and have surge protection and clean ground
-network switches, even if it's not a fancy router.. it's sooooo much more handy when you use a laptop regularely and still want fast network or don't want to use wifi
-friggin drawers.. your junk deserves rack space, and it's super heavy duty..
@@jyvben1520 There is no contest; if you'd rather watch and listen to Linus, you need to check into a funeral parlour. You've been dead at least three days. :-)
@@stevewatson6839 there are others that have pi-hole videos, you can search in youtube ... or you can wait for it here ...
Or pfblockerng on pfsense. I’m currently crawling down this rabbit hole.
I truly appreciate you including the mistakes you made along the way. Those are often difficult to foresee and when creators choose not to include them they are bound to be repeated by others.
Wireless Access Point...
Yes. My mind isn't thinking anything else.
Nope. Not at all #nerds
pink wap ?? yes please
My friend doesn't get it. Care to explain? (I'm the friend)
@@gerald8573 the song wap
I see she’s a woman of culture too. 😂
Beautifully constructed title 😭
Very efficient use of words to create three high class innuendos, genuinely impressive
It's actually my finest work x'D
I genuinely don't think I've seen the aesthetic of this video anywhere else on the internet.
I especially enjoyed the part focusing on your PiHole
As someone who also suffers from OCD i appreciate your attention to making anything you build look amazing, Great job absolutely love the custom panel
that has to be one of the most annoying conditions to live with.
@@Viper4ever05 What is OCD ? sorry, non english guy here :)
@@fridaycaliforniaa236 obsessive compulsive disorder. It’s a mental disorder where your mind tells you to do a specific task over and over despite how illogical it becomes to do so. For example some people have a compulsion to wash their hands excessively despite not touching anything dirty or sticky to the point where it disrupts their daily lives.
@@fridaycaliforniaa236 A guitar distortion pedal.
The magical hand waving really added to that fade transition shot ^_^
That title is simply brilliant.
Seriously you had to know what you were doing there lol
Dat title...well played, well played 🤣
I love how you can make networking cute and bright. It's a real breath of fresh air.
simping aren't we?
I have no idea what led me hear and I'm not even sure why I watched the whole thing but your DIY ability and cable management are stellar. Thanks for the vid.
That title triggered my dirty mind.
But holy crap, that rack looks damn good. Even though I like black hardware better.
I wish I had room (and need) for a rack.
Exactly
"NEED" is defined by you haha
@@mrmotofy Also by ones wallet/bank account balance :)
Second pi can be used for homeassist, to tie all the smart home appliances together.
I can't with this title! 🤣🤣🤣
Homer: "Mmmmmm, Rasberry Pies."
Lauren: "They're not edible."
Homer: "D'oh! aww, why not?"
"...the videos I do upload will be of lower/inconsistent quality for the foreseeable future." I spat my tea when I saw that on your Patreon page. The best is the enemy of the good enough; and your good enough is better than than most other techtubers best.
Seriously.
After years of dealing with cage nuts: Grab a PCI card slot cover from an old PC case. Push the far tab of the cage nut in with your fingers so the nut is at an angle, then just pop the other tab in using the slot cover. Saves all the skin on your fingers. To remove the nut, use the slot cover to push the tab in (from the nut side of the cage), and catch the nut as it pops out.
Or, and here me out on this, buy a cage nut insertion tool. The type that looks a bit like a set of nail clippers. Might cost you almost 10 bucks. Easily insert or remove any strength of cagenut, from almost any space, in the shortest moment.
I'm going to run a few Game servers for my organization out of my house and was looking at different projects people were doing to get an idea of how I wanted it to look. I hate saying it, but in my years of telecommunications and managing a data center team, I'm happy to see more women getting into this. Girls typically do not go for networking and when they do they aren't that great at it. They're more standoffish with the fact that they are girls rather than taking pride in their knowledge. You on the other hand are the opposite, very happy to run into this and I think I will be doing a similar build. Excellent work! Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about and takes pride in their work!
I've been watching your videos for 7 years, i gotta say, best thing to sleep, best company for breakfeast. Thank you.
You could use the second Pi for homeassistant, a diy smart home hub that can connect and automate basically everything, independent of manufacturer.
I especially love the ESPHome integration for it which you can use to easily build fully custom ARGB strips for your whole home 🤤
Definitely this - I've configured my HA to provide emergency lighting if the UPS kicks in during the great blackouts of 22/23
They powder coated the threaded holes. You need to run a tap through them.
0:11 those lights on the left are AMAZING.
This was such an entertaining video. I’ve done lots of home lab, but never paid as much attention as you have to the aesthetics of it all. You’ve really managed to add a huge amount of flair and design to this setup and the results do really speak for themselves. You’ve gained a new sub and I look forward to future videos. Thanks for making your hard work so entertaining. You have a special gift here and I thank you for sharing it with us all. Cheers!
I love this project, awesome tech youtuber
Great Video !! really want to make my own home network based on your information!! Fantastic !
The Mycelial hinge panel is a great touch!
Insulation mounts for the m6 screws! yes! I'm impressed! 👏
Aesthetically beautiful tbh, also yeah, the title lol. Great job, looks amazing and love the lights
Lauren - you TOTALLY missed a Star Wars themed opportunity there... The sides of the case have that pattern that the lighting on the Death Star had!
Tastypc's voice makes me want to take a nap with a smile, her voice is very soothing lol
This is such a sweet setup and video i keep coming back to it for inspiration!
IMHO run two Pi-Hole, if one goes down this second one acts like a backup.
Not a bad shout; might do the same. I'm running PiHole in a small VM at the moment. Might get a low-end Pi and have that as a primary, with the VM as a secondary.
@@johnmcquay82 i have this setup, but i use vm as primary and pi as secondary
At first I thought "really, redundancy for your adblocker? Really?" But then I remembered it's also the only DNS. So yeah, redundancy for the PiHole is perfectly reasonable and makes perfect sense.
At the moment pfSense is my secondary DNS, but that'll likely change at some point.
@@InterFelix yea the amount of time I have taking my VM server down and everyone in house is like where is the internet!
Yep, just awesome. Great job Lauren, certainly given me some inspiration to tidy up my server and network equipment!
this could be the best total in TH-cam history
Dear God...this lady is smarter than all of us combined.
I don't know how to explain it, but tech videos and such a relaxing voice ... that's an unfamiliar but welcome change. Thanks to the TH-cam algorithm for this suggestion.
Love the custom art on the 2u door. And RGB in a rack!! How cool :) Great Video!
Homelabber here: welcome to the club! Big fan of how this setup turned out, it's quite aesthetically pleasing.
Realizing how good this video objectively was made me really sorry to think of why I clicked on it in the first place.
I do this stuff professionally in DCs and there's always hitches like you've experienced: odd sizes, cage nuts inexplicably not fitting, that sort of stuff. You did well.
Hmm you’ve got me thinking… I live in an RV and it seems I never have room for all of my gear. Now I’m inspired, thank you 😎
Can't wait to steal your setup but make it purple. 😈
About to take this journey myself. Loved the video very nice to see how others plan their server racks layout. I didnt even think about a light until watching your vids.
Fantastic video! 🤗
Thank you, I'm really glad you think it's good :)
i think i need to watch your video’s from seeing your name
Just came in to congratulate you on that amazing title, ended up actually enjoying the video :D
Just Everything about that title 😂
It just lists precisely what the video is about, doesn't it? It's 0% clickbait, which is rare these days. 🤭
@@TastyPC indeed lol
I was getting a Linus Tech Tips vibe, which was validated when I saw direct messages from your X account to Linus.
Wow! The script alone for this video must have taken more work than many put into their entire production. Add to the the phenomenal amount of planning, research, sourcing and costing you must have done shows at the very least shows you’re not work shy. The most amazing part is that you made a newbie boomer understand the what and why you were doing what you were doing.
Okay, this was SUPER COOL!
I gotta say, my mind was in a different state when I clicked on this
I've never been more pleasantly mislead on clicking because of a video title. Cudos!
TH-cam is known to demonetize videos that explain pi-holes.
Great to see focus on performance, function AND making it look nice 👍🏻
Omg its so great to finally be recommended another female tech youtuber. It's a breath of fresh air to not feel like I'm the only woman interested in this stuff.
The screws were probably tight because the case was powder coated. That coating goes everywhere, even in the threads.
There's me thinking this was a music video until I was blessed with some Tasty PC -
I didn't know you could make rackmount hardware look that fancy. That is so cool.
So I have followed your content for a while now but I am still very curious and uncertain... What does your PC actually taste like?
You win
If the Discord convos are any indication, probably Irn Bru.
You got a new follower. Love the choices you made. Looks great and would love to do something similar for my wife’s office in the future.
Love the presentation, great editing, no annoying background music, and excellent style. Instant sub for me, looking forward to more content!
why do people put that just noise on there video?
And what's even better a very pleasant voice.
The title alone worth a thumbs up for cleverness!!
I've used "Aluminum" spray paint to match things. It's amazing how easy it is and little time it takes. As with most surfaces, scuff with 220-320grit sandpaper, clean with some brake cleaner, paint thinner etc and spray 2-3 light coats. Give a day or 2 to dry and admire how nice it all matches
I'm clearly more innocent than you lot of reprobates, I've only just noticed the title... 😊
Another consistently excellent video Lauren. If companies actually hired you for their product adverts, then I wouldn't be clicking "skip ad" as a twitch reflex. SCDkey is literally the only advert I've watched all the way through since your last video came out.
yes, it was good
What a cool and cute homelab... now I want a painted 2U plate for "Oa" the name of my green themed network
Great build and overview. Will definitely be pulling some inspiration from this. Thanks!
The title is brilliant. And its not even click bait. It's exactly as described. Genius. Well done👍🏽
Its great to use it to play and save your retrogames and run them faster to like doom and duke nuke 3d and megaman x and snes more this is a good looking home router btw in white love ur videos btw
I have no idea what you’re talking about but I love your videos!
3 years later, still laughing at that title 😂
You have definitely caught the homelab disease! Great video!
Very nice, great job... now I wanna build one lol
Nice work!
Such a pleasant deviation from black hardware & blue LEDs too. I mean does network hardware really have to look like it was designed for the batcave.
Have you looked into doing DNS over TLS with your Pi Hole?
I need no information that could _possibly_ exist on anything even remotely related to this video (being an IT person), but OMFG what a gift you have for a video title.
Awesome custom blanking panel
Nice color matching and decorated homelab stuff is cool, I had no idea that was a thing. Are you starting a trend? And now I'm inspired to run a PiHole since I have a Pi laying around.
the black stuff should be like the top mycel.... door, break up the white ...
I have no idea what this thing is, but the neatness of it all was very satisfying to watch.
Great content. Looks great!
I have no idea what this would be used for but I enjoyed watching.
The reason the screws were so hard to put in, is because of the powder coating itself. It is in the threading and you have to force the screw through it to get it to fit since the coating does make it smaller. Best thing to do with that situation would be to use a tap and die set, or similar, to clean the threading before putting in the screws.
After having set up my own personal network with a Poe 48 Port switch , I have nothing but respect and a props to give you on the set up of yours you did your research and knocked it out of the park great video !!
Hah, my home network is at the bottom of the linen closet. It's CAT6 wired, connects to my NAS (an Athlon Hammer from about 2002, mobo recapped, 750w silver PS, a million fans to keep that POS cool ) and a UPS, which was beeping today. Not much to look at, but it works well.
Next step is to get the 10 Mbps switch connected to my Turbo XT, 386, 486, and P233 MMX.
Thanks for the kick in the ass to get it done :D
oh hai Lauren!
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART CHRIS!!
It took me up until reading the comments to get the joke in the title, as i literally read it as network components and not THAT
That discount code came in very handy!
We knew what we were doing with that cheeky title lol
Finally, more music to my ears
I would love to see more homelab videos. I don't know how I missed this channel until now.
Whoever came up with the title of this video deserves an applause!
I stared at the title for a while 5 minutes lmao
wow, this is like the posh southern version of my northern working class rack, hahahaha
Good work, Lauren! I love your network's name. :)
