Projects in need of some love
GPU Server
The GPU Server is almost ready, but it needs some more hardware to be actually up and running to play around with AI
| Item Description | Purpose / Use | Example link(s) |
|---|---|---|
| 2Tb SSD * 4 | AI models have to be on fast storage, currently we only have a small SSD that just doesn't cut it. It'd be nice to have 4 of these to end up with ~5,2 TiB of usable storage. RAIDz1 redundancy |
|
| 4Tb HDD * 1 | To backup mission-critical infrastructure VMs (think: password manager) + some user-owned machines that users are often doing breaking changes on | Seagate BarraCuda 4 TB - 90€ https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0713R3Y6F/ |
| PSU GPU cables | Enermax modular power supply GPU cables, maybe someone has some laying around... | |
| NanoKVM PCIe | Remote control our servers, supports tailscale VPN, we can fix stuff remotely if it ever breaks | Must be bought from Taobao, as it costs 35€ instead of 100€ on Amazon. |
CPU Server
Well, more storage more better for VMs that need fast data transfer (data-heavy code) and some of our RAM happened to be bad, go figure
| Item Description | Purpose / Use | Example link(s) |
|---|---|---|
| 1Tb SSD * 3 | To host VMs that need faster storage (think: database-heavy loads). 3 disks to use ZFS RAIDz1 for redundancy | Kioxia EXCERA 960Gb - 62,60€ https://www.ollo.it/kioxia-exceria-2-5-960-gb-sata-iii-tlc/p_819048 |
| 4Tb HDD * 1 | To backup mission-critical infrastructure VMs (think: password manager) + some user-owned machines that users are often doing breaking changes on | Seagate BarraCuda 4 TB - 90€ https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0713R3Y6F/ |
| RAM 64GB * 1 or 64Gb * 3 | One of our RAM sticks has died on us, so now we have "only" 64Gb. This server was intended for CPU/RAM heavy tasks, so it's kind of a pain. It maxes out at 256Gb, so we can fit 3 more sticks, 64Gb each. Must be ECC RDIMM ram, possibly 2400+ MHz to work well with the rest. |

Proxmox cluster
| Item Description | Purpose / Use | Example link(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Thin client / Raspberry Pi 4+ (any model) | We definitely need a 3rd node to ensure the quorum on our Proxmox Cluster in case the CPU or GPU servers ever go down. |
|
Electronics components storage
Nice to have-s
| Item Description | Purpose / Use | Project |
|---|---|---|
| 100m Ethernet cat5e unshielded, stranded, pure copper cable | Well, we don't have any (long) ethernet cable, that is sometimes a problem. We are thinking about buying it from Taobao as it's incredibly expensive here in Italy | |
| PLA/ABS filament (1.75mm) | Used in 3D printing projects and prototyping | |
| Microcontrollers (ESP32, Arduino, etc.) | Core components in our embedded systems workshops | |
| Safety gear (goggles, gloves, etc.) | To ensure safe practices during hands-on sessions | Category:Members |
| Cutlery | We all like to eat pizza, we never have enough forks and knives. Maybe you have some crappy extra ones in your garage and we'd love to have them. | Category:Members |
