OpenBMC is a Linux distribution for management controllers used in devices such as servers, top of rack switches or RAID appliances. It uses Yocto, OpenEmbedded, systemd, and D-Bus to allow easy customization for your platform.
Current probe locations are listed below. They are also listed in this handy text file and can be accessed via DNS query to probes.nodeping.com for automating your firewall rules if needed.

Tucked into the PCIe slot, alongside the high-speed data lanes everyone thinks about, sits a tiny, slow side-channel called the SMBus. It's a management bus, and it exists for housekeeping like reading a sensor or identifying a card, not for moving your data.
My HBA and my motherboard were both trying to use that bus during the earliest moments of POST, and they were stepping on each other badly enough to stall the whole boot. This doesn't happen to every card and motherboard combo, but it's common with specific LSI cards in consumer motherboards. My workstation PC would boot just fine with the card installed, which really confused me until I found a very informative video from Art of Server, showing a tape mod for my specific card and describing the failure mode I was experiencing. //
The two SMBus pins on the connector, positions B5 and B6, are defined by PCI-SIG as optional, with no required behavior for whatever an add-in card hangs off them. Simply covering these two pins on the card solves the conflict that happens at boot time. Kapton tape is the preferred material to do this, but I used normal electrical tape to good effect.

Enterprise storage has traditionally required costly licensing, proprietary hardware, and complex management. ENAS changes that by delivering a private, local storage platform designed for performance, scalability, and simplicity, all without the overhead typically associated with enterprise infrastructure.
ENAS combines proven ZFS architecture, with optional M.2 NVMe L2ARC caching, and a powerful ARM Neoverse N2 platform to make our highest performance storage solution to date.
- 8 Arm Neoverse N2 cores for demanding workloads
- 64GB ECC memory for enhanced data integrity
- Dual NVMe cache for accelerated performance
- Native ZFS for advanced storage protection
As a Linux server administrator, having a reliable email notification system in place is crucial. Whether you’re dealing with unattended upgrades, monitoring RAID arrays, or any other server-related alerts, getting quick notifications can make a world of difference. Here’s a quick guide to setting up sSMTP, a lightweight and straightforward alternative to postfix or other full-fledged mail transfer agents (MTAs).
Why sSMTP instead of postfix?
sSMTP is lightweight, easy to configure, and perfect for scenarios where you just need outgoing email functionality. It’s particularly well-suited for sending notifications from Linux servers without the overhead of a fully-fledged MTA like postfix.

Gen7 (N54L, N40L, N36L)
The N40L comes with 1 × 2GB ECC RAM installed. It will accept up to 16GB (2 × 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1333 (PC3 10600) RAM [1]
Non-ECC RAM is compatible, but not recommended for mission critical servers. Most casual, NAS or home server systems do not require ECC RAM.[2]
Does not support registered (buffered) modules. Using registered modules will result in the server failing to POST/boot. ('blue light').
Capable of utilizing dual channel RAM, which results in marginally increased memory speeds when two matched DIMMs are installed.[3]
One of the most anxiety-inducing parts of self-hosting for me is ensuring that everything is as locked-down security-wise as possible. That's become even more critical as I increase my footprint, adding my own domain and subdomains that point to each service. I'm also a little particular, and while I could use a self-signed TLS certificate to ensure HTTPS for the services that need it, the reminder that it hasn't been done "properly" every time I access those services irks me.
And while there's any number of reverse proxies that I could use to access those services, few are as easy to set up and use as Caddy. //
Officially, Caddy is an open-source web server that can be used for many things. But because it's so easy to set up and includes built-in automatic HTTPS with TLS certificate management, it's often used as a reverse proxy for the home lab. That's because every domain, IP address, and even localhost are served over HTTPS, thanks to the fully automated, self-managed certificate authority.
The entire server is controlled by a single configuration file, the "Caddyfile," which is human-readable, and most tasks are handled with a few simple lines of text.
Direct, encrypted file transfers from your computer to anyone, anywhere — no signup, no cloud storage in between.
