gonna put some big thought into a motion control camera rig that would transfer from jib/slider/curved slider

I can still make sure everything is perfectly ready though, so I just have to copy data when it's ready

me: i wish i was a programmer!

monkey's paw: oh uh.. haha uh.. let me check with my supervisor (yeah boss? yeah he added the curse himself.. so i.. ok.. ok) looks like this wish is on the house!

but installing that will cause quite some downtime... so I will have to wait with migrations till that's done...

well, ordered a bunch of things but somewhere this summer should have a working github.com/pikvm/pikvm#diy-get remote KVM setup for the new homeserver

really going into techgore territory here.. it'll fit something like this. That VGA will go into a hdmi converter which goes to a capturecard on the pi-kvm

they publish .step 3d models on the site <3 time to print out and see how it fits in the case.. I screwed off the mounting bracket from the gpu because it'll be backwards in the case lol

after looots of mental rotation/translation visualization on how this would fit in the case + with the motherboard, I found that the R43NR is perfect aliexpress.com/item/1005001631

still hate crypto mining but at least they made some weird hardware available now (FPGA's and cursed pcie adaptors)

@Anarkat like, yeah it's a problem that 58% of fireworks fires occur during this one week (i didn't check that figure, let's assume it's true) but consider that by actual total number of fires, there is over 10x more arson for example

alternatively I could also use the M.2 slot on the bottom of the motherboard to connect just a fifth drive, and have the gpu (for pi IP-KVM) in the pci slot

oh apparantly my motherboard just supports pcie bifurcation.

it's a fully passive lane split

these cards still cost a 100 euros

for a ribbon cable + 2 pcie connectors

i want a custom PCIe card to do both basic vga video and provide 2x SATA for the single x16 slot, but both the routing, and components seem very complex :/
