ZFS dedupe!
Well, its been a few months since Sun announced ZFS getting dedupe functionality. Now I just need to get employed again, so I have the cash to build the home storage server I've been meaning to setup for some time now. Add another processor/memory heavy machine to run ESXi, and I'll have a nice little virtual machine lab setup so its easier to study for my certifications by having every OS handy to experiment and research with.
There’s a standard for everything!
When I installed Cat5e in my house 5 years ago, I didn't realize there were actual international telecom labeling standards, luckily, I only have a 12 port patch panel and 7 data jacks (currently) to relabel correctly. Once it warms up more, might be time for me to figure out how to run 2 lines (I'll take the 3 extra seconds to have redundancy, that's pro-active laziness, 10% more effort now, so its 50% less effort later) down to the garage, so I can setup a dedicated machine for car diagnostics without it relying on WiFi, and also have the option of media streaming devices for entertainment while working on my car.
