Here is the current list of hardware that lives in my server rack, from top to bottom. I am making use of blanking and brush panels at the moment but as I add more to the rack I will move the power supplies to the back and tuck them out of the way. Until then I enjoy this aesthetic.

My den, where I keep all my tech and hobby related safely away from children's mitts and wife's eyes was becoming quite chaotic. Between 2 full sized PCs, a NUC, my PS5, 3 monitors and all the associated networking and wiring it was becoming quite the rats nest.
|
||||
|
||||
It was time to do something about it, and I decided to move build a server rack containing all my stuff.

If you haven't alreay [seen Part 1 of this series][1] you might be interested in catching up on that first. In that post I go over picking the rack I did, and now it's time to look at decanting my existing machines into chassis that will fit that server rack.

When I started the project to move all my computers into a single rack to save some space, and to look cool, I knew I wanted some kind of monitor in it.
|
||||
|
||||
There were a bunch of options for big and ugly KVM panels that pull out, but that wasn't what I was looking for.

At this stage in the build I was about ready to find a way to house my PS5 in my rack, and do some general decor. If you haven't checked out [Part 1][1] and [part 2][2] yet, check them out first!
|
||||
|
||||
One of the main reasons for moving things into a rack in the first place was to clear _all_ my tech - or as much as possible. Housing the PS5 would clear a fair bit of room from the surfaces in my den, they are not small things.

One of the first presents we bought ourselves after we got married was a proper bean-to-cup coffee machine. For the longest time we just picked up whichever beans were cheap enough and easily available, be it from large online retailers or the local supermarket. We really needed to upgrade our coffee experience - here is my review of Rave Coffee.
|
||||
|
||||
More recently we decided we should be focusing on quality over quantity. Moreso we had become concerned over the [environmental impact](https://www.theworldcounts.com/challenges/consumption/foods-and-beverages/environmental-effects-of-coffee-production) our coffee habits were having.

If you're using unraid and want to use the docker engine to run your wordpress site, you're likely going to want to increase the maximum upload size.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the simplest way I found of doing it, though I am sure there are other methods.

Towards the end of 2023, a growing unease prompted me to seriously evaluate my device and app usage. I found myself habitually reaching for my phone, ostensibly to "just check". Recognizing that I wasn't alone in this sentiment, I delved into the realm of digital minimalism and connected with various communities centered around this philosophy.
|
||||
|
||||
The main issue that surfaced was my persistent need to stay connected— whether through Discord, iMessage, Reddit, or email. I found myself compulsively checking these apps, only to discover that I was missing out on nothing substantial. Even with the majority of notifications disabled, allowing people instant access to my time and attention started to feel very wrong.

There are multiple issues which will need overcoming and I want to address them all in individual posts as I come up with proper solutions, here is the rough list so far:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Watch** - I currently use an Apple Watch
|
||||
* **Phone** - Yes, the obvious iPhone replacement quest looms. But not just any replacement — a humble dumb phone dedicated to emergency calls and texts. A bold move towards essential communication without the smartphone overwhelm.
|
||||
* **Camera** - With the iPhone out of the picture, my portable camera dilemma surfaces..
|
||||
* **Music** - No iPhone, no portable music player. The silence is about to be shattered by a new rhythm, a device solely devoted to delivering musical bliss.
|
||||
* **Gaming** - Portable gaming system enthusiasts, fear not! The absence of an iPhone won't hinder the gaming experience. A new, dedicated device is on the horizon.
|
||||
* **Notes** - Joining the league of paper aficionados, I'm set to conquer the world of note-taking without the digital distractions.
|
||||
* **Reading** - I'm finally going to get a kindle I think.
