Bastille is our Lenovo Nextscale chassis donated by jpo from his VT Surplus spoils.
It contains twelve like 'blades', with:
- 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-2680 v3 (48) @ 3.30 GHz, 12 cores 24 threads each
- 256 GiB DDR4
- a fully-featured remote management interface, with a webUI kvm
- two gigabit eth NICs (Both connected), and one Intel X520 2x10G SFP+ (Unused)
- notably, no peripheral parts other than a multiplexed one that uses a proprietary adapter to VGA, Serial, 2x USB
These blades are appropriately named:
[ "backbiter" "damocles" "durendal" "eyelander" "excalibur" "gram" "gryffindor" "kusanagi" "narsil" "oathbringer" "riptide" "sting" ]
They are at the moment netbooted from Vesuvius as NixOS k3s nodes.
Things To Host On All This (Post Suggestions!!!)
- hentai at home (rsk)
- tor relay (rsk)
- both of the above possibly better as a slim nixos VM on something like spectre?
- nix build server (clj)
- build/parameter optimization rust compiler (clj)
- folding@home (ap, eri)
