Posts tagged with "planning"

I’ve got a pile of articles I want to get out before the end of 2025, and I’m trying to stick to at least one post per week. That’s roughly 16 more articles between now and December, which sounds doable if I don’t get distracted by shiny new projects.

My past write up for a Backlog of Posts had all the things that I wanted to write about in mid-2024. It has been updated with links to the released posts that covered each as I finished up in 2024. I got a lot of them written but the backlog of drafts and things I wanted to write about also grew as I picked off drafts and added new posts.

I want an extra ~350w of power available for a GPU that cannot run off PCIe bus power of 75w or 25w in some very old Dell Optiplex 990 Mini Tower nodes in my Proxmox cluster.

When one of my power supplies died earlier and I bought on eBay a NEW 750W Dell OptiPlex 9010 990 790 Power Supply Replace / Upgrade that was ~750w and the same form factor as those nodes PSU. This was just fast purchase to grab something that would ship the next day with no plan for an upgrade but I did pay attention that was both better and newer with a warranty.

So I have one machine that has the extra wattage available for a much better GPU like a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 12Gb.

I’ve got a backlog of posts I want to do on various topics. A couple of recent posts, I figured getting out something rough was better than not getting it out and just posted something that felt like it needed another draft or two. I’ll likely review those quickly posted items and update them as time permits.
