Perfect mouse
I was googling and reading all kinds of reviews about which is the best mouse. This led to the Logitech MX Master 3, based on reviews and what others have tested. I wasn’t too fond of the mouse because it’s heavy and hurts my wrist. In addition, I discovered the mouse doesn’t work well with…
Treadmill – Walkdesk™ WTB100
Having a standing desk is wonderful, but standing for more than 1 hour was difficult for me. It didn’t feel natural. I have to move when I’m standing so that it’s not such a burden for my lower back. I had an indoor cycling bike. I lifted my desk and set up my bike under…
What chair should every home labber have at home?
Because most people are sitting long hours, it is essential to make sure you won’t hurt your lower back. The chair is critical, and I strongly suggest people buy one ordinary chair to use for more than 10 years. I have tested gamer chairs, and I have to say those are among the most inconvenient…
Electrical Stand-Up Desk
When picking an electrical stand-up desk, what’s very important is the load capacity. How many kg can your desk lift, and will the desk be shaken easily? I found that many load capacities are only 80kg, which is very risky. When you calculate the weight of all the equipment you want to have on the…
Dell UltraSharp 49 Curved Monitor – U4919DW
Personally speaking, I feel the 49” monitors with 5120 x 1440 resolution are the best monitors, and I need no extra screens. I think when people have three or more monitors, it is so 90s. One ultrawide monitor is the right way to go, and one monitor doesn’t take so much power. I like the…
Important lessons I learned by silencing and cooling my small server
I was looking for a small, low power and silent server for my home lab. I found Supermicro A2SDV-16C-TLN5 with 16 cores, and it fit perfectly in the Supermicro chassis CSE-E300.
The chassis included one fan. I thought this was the perfect home lab server; I could have 256GB RAM as max.
I thought the server didn’t need extra cooling, but I was very wrong.
Virtualization environment is your Shaolin Temple, where you train your IT skills
Are you wondering how to become a master or expert on something in IT?
It is actually very simple. You have to practice and practice until you master it.
When we look at dancers, singers, athletes, or even chess players, they practice every day. When we look at pro gamers, they practice, record their games, and watch other players’ games to learn and develop their skills. Sadly, we don’t see the same thing in the IT field.The common path for people is going to a training workshop or school and doing it at once by following the curriculum of the the day, getting certified, and suddenly an expert has been born .
Imagine if we started providing certification for dancers, singers, athletes, or even pro gamers because they danced one dance, sang a song once, ran 100 meters, or once played a game. After that, we start calling them professionals. You see how silly it is.
For those people who are serious and want to become experts, home labbing is a must.
vSphere/Workstation Pro is like a Lego suitable for all ages
I think everyone knows what Lego is and doesn’t need an explanation. Still, I’m sure you are very confused why I’m saying vSphere/Workstation Pro is like a Lego suitable for everyone.
We have all seen or even experienced how fun and engaging it is playing with Lego bricks. It’s an exciting opportunity to tinker and be creative. Only your imagination limits what you can build and how you play. It’s so engaging that time flies, and every day, you can create something fun without worrying about doing something wrong or even breaking what you made. It’s not a big deal. At any moment, you can build something newer and even better. Each time you build and break, build and break, you get better and better. Your skills develop rapidly. Hands-on learning opens the door to becoming a successful person.
