I'd estimate that the storm I was watching was around 30Km away - hopefully far enough away not to worry too much if it started to rotate. The locals appeared unconcerned at least. On a slightly on-topic note, I had some fun building myself a small cluster last year to get a feel for what can be done with Proxmox and some cheap hardware. The cluster summary is quite fun: and the hardware is definitely on the small side: With the current price of electricity though, it's still not small enough to justify the cost of leaving it on 24/7. :( |

I did exactly the same. Had a 4 node cluster on Lenovo mini PCs :-+ Eventually I got bored and sold them and now just futz with sandbox clusters in EKS and bill that out :-DD The Lenovo tiny series are really top notch bits of kit though. |

All have Intel i5-6500,6600 or 7500 CPUs with management interfaces except for node 1 at the top of the stack which got treated to a Xeon E3-1275L-V3 upgrade, just for the fun of it. All the storage shown in the summary is SSD and the switch and supporting network is all gigabit speed. Being able to get them all running and installed via the management interfaces saved a bucket load of time and hassle. |

This is nothing you want to experience first hand. [video] You do NOT want to be caught in that ... --- End quote --- Totally agree. I have no desire to be anywhere in the path of a hurricane. Experiencing a Texan mega storm from a respectable distance is another matter though. Just the sheer ground shaking volume of almost constant horizon to horizon thunder and lightning is a truly visceral experience. --- End quote --- Yes... as is watching a dumbass in a shoebox car get washed off into the guardrails trying to drive through a flash-flood passing over the highway. :o mnem The plains are unforgiving of fools; just like mother ocean. |
