Well, here it is! My Late 2022 Server Rack and HomeLab tour! This is a special one because I just revamped my entire rack. I’ve upgraded, replaced, added, and consolidated quite a bit since my last tour! New servers, new networking, new UPS, new power management, and even a whole entire wall of tech gear. I also added lots of automation and IoT devices! Join me as we walk through my server rack transfer and upgrade!

Light Mode vs Dark Mode!
Now that I have everything moved to the new rack, "Light Mode" or "Dark Mode"? pic.twitter.com/EKD45Wwl3f
