Reality Systems and Servers
So this is a description of my hardware, I enjoy building systems with older server hardware. I am currently running the following systems.
Continuum
- Intel Xeon e5-2697A v4 – 16 core 32 thread 3.6Ghz
- Debian 12
- KVM, Podman Containers
- 160G Ram
- 6 TB of storage
Continuum is my KVM virtual machine server. It’s named after Angie Mitchel’s AI in Mona Lisa Overdrive. Continuity has more than enough juice to run most things i can think of. These are the VMs currently running on Continuity. Aggregate usage is low so i can over provision a bit, and i certainly did, haha. All the VMs and other physical systems are named after characters in William Gibson‘s novels Neuromancer and Mona Lisa Overdrive.
Sense/NET
- i5-8400 6 core 4Ghz
- Debian 12
- Plex, streaming services. Primary DNS and DHCP (Pi hole)
- 16G DDR4
- 22 TB of storage.
Sense/NET (sensenet) is my plex streaming server. It also runs a pi hole setup and is the primary DNS/DHCP server. since these are all the services that need the best uptimes, i thought it prudent to migrate them to their own box. Sense/NET was the multinational broadcasting and entertainment conglomerate that the crew invaded with the help of the Panther Modern’s to steal the Dixie Flatline’s construct in Neuromancer.
