<html>Hello Wheel, Committee, and assorted lurking onlookers,<br /><br />I’d like to formally request colocation space for my two servers in the machine room — something that was previously granted informally after a discussion with [GPO] and others. Since another member has now made a proper request (as one should), I figured I should also put mine in writing before [FOX] smites me for untracked rack units.<br /><br />Machine Details:<br /> Hecate – 4U, MSI z170a Gaming M5, i7-6700K, GTX 1080, 750W PSU (rarely doing anything particularly dramatic).<br /> Ceridwen – 1U, IBM 3550 M4 v2, dual Xeon E5-2640s, dual 500W PSUs (mostly just sitting there generating fan noise and moral support).<br />Both are currently housed in the third rack — the one I helped clean up with [ROY] and others in a brief moment of cable-management-inspired madness.<br /><br />Relevant additional context:<br /> I’m on Committee, Wheel, Sprocket/Winadmin, and Door.<br /> As a Door member, I already have access to the machine room and do not need additional access permission for colocation.<br /> As a Wheel member, I have the power to do slightly dangerous things and (mostly) the restraint not to. I’ve been trusted with access to UCC's network,<br /> and so far nothing has caught fire or emitted smoke that wasn’t already destined to (except that one time..... ask [ROY] or myself... oops)<br /><br />What they’re doing:<br /> Hecate serves as my primary server (alongside Iris, my VM on Machop), handling a variety of tasks ranging from VM hosting to questionable experiments.<br /> Ceridwen is my current test bench for a deeply cursed mesh networking protocol (think “BGP and WireGuard had a child and gave it trust issues”).<br /> It will be running Alpine, Void, or NixOS, managed via Incus, and serving as a cluster host.<br />If more info is needed (including power/network usage), I’m happy to provide it — although I can’t promise the explanation will be brief, linear, or entirely sane.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><strong>Freya Andromeda</strong><br /><em> Void Linux Shill<br /> Treasurer of PCS<br /> OCM on UCCmittee<br /> Wheel, Door & Sprocket Member</em></html>
