From the post:

>For a while, I have been wanting to improve my practical knowledge about networking and system administration. Until now, it was limited to university projects and the administration of my Ubuntu-based laptop and an old HP OptiPlex hosting a few services. On top of that, I had this big list of services that could be self-hosted to replace paid or third-party services. Two events triggered what would then become an infinite rabbit hole, both caused by my friend Julien: him introducing me to Nix, and later, to the concept of mini rack.

I wouldn’t call a 19” rack on the floor in a corner, which internals are partitioned off to a 10” section a “mini rack”

But to each their own.

Yeah.. Also, Get that off the fucking floor. That looks like a basement. It should be elevated by a minimum of 2ft in the event of possibly water damage/flooding. I have seen far more expensive gear killed by something like that where if they just elevated it, it would have been fine (the power was on the celling and dropped down).

The actual link is funny, I had to add a trailing / before it worked, i.e. https://gquetel.fr/misc/mini-rack/
