It very much is. So much more than I need but the eBay deal was amazing.
Just managed to score a Lenovo ThinkStation P620 .. 64-Core ThreadRipper Pro with 256GB of ram (eBay). Going to add a 25 GigE fibre NIC and it can function as my main #homelab virtualisation host. I might look at migrating the guts into a 3U/4U rack case .. but that's a project for later on.
I've spent a lot of the day trying to convince Proxmox 8 to install on a 2019 Intel Mac Pro. There are some really strange issues I need to resolve such as the NIC initially works, and then doesn't detect a link/or allow DHCP after a reboot/install.
I'm going to be putting a 25 GigE fibre card in tomorrow so hopefully it doesn't share those issues.

If you want to understand AWS, you need to learn how AWS fails. If you understand how it fails, you can design things to work around failure. As AWS themselves say, everything fails, all the time :) Something i cover extensively in my https://learn.cantrill.io courses .. is failure & resilience :)
If you're an architect you have to design resilient solutions, as a developer you will be creating applications which should cope well with failure and in operations you have to diagnose, prevent and repair any failed systems. For all of the above .. your level of understand has to be top notch :)
Some services are resilient in their zone, some are resilient in their region (able to cope with failure of an entire AZ) and some services can cope with the failure of an entire region and still continue to operate.
If you want to get a job working with AWS you need to know significantly more than what's required to pass the exam. You can pass exams by knowing just 20-30% of whats required to really function in a given role ... that's why longer courses are generally more in-depth and give you more value back (jobs, promotions, projects). The more you know, the easier job hunting becomes :)

What are you running if anything right now ?
The one thing I hate about living in #australia is how difficult it can be to get decent computer parts; that and there is almost no quality 2nd user market. Trying to spec out a Threadripper Pro #homelab #proxmox build and finding components is Zzzz.....

Doing my part to create a #bitcoin circular economy. I create courses for #aws at https://learn.cantrill.io … I accept #bitcoin at https://btcpay.cantrill.io and I’m now funding independent mini project creation https://github.com/acantril/learn-cantrill-io-labs/blob/master/get-paid-to-create-projects.md paying in bitcoin only.
Listening to CD where nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx said "quitting LinkedIn is fuck you money" really hit home. I feel close, but I still get the jitters.
Do we have any #austriches in Brisbane ? keen to see how local this thing goes :)
I didn't realise there was such a AUS community on here
.... awesome #austriches
It’s gross … and the information density in most videos also sucks. It’s almost like it comes in waves, dragging you to the next advertisement point in the video. The whole ad based economy is so destructive to knowledge transfer.
I’d just struggle (if I wasn’t a bitcoiner) with the systemic risk of holding a decent amount of FIAT in any one bank. Even with it spread across a group of them it would keep me up at night. Everything would be about derisking value stores…. Ugh.
What desktop clients for nostr is everyone running ?
Just a reminder for anyone interested in #aws courses aimed at ACTUAL skills .. not just passing exams I have a range at https://learn.cantrill.io … even better I provide significant discounts for paying in #bitcoin at https://btcpay.cantrill.io 
I've just updated one of my free #aws mini projects (Hybrid DNS) to use Amazon Linux 2023 + UI updates/product changes. It's available in some of my https://learn.cantrill.io courses, or free https://youtu.be/NHhtXpAcAc0
If it helps, please retweet and spread the word.
I've just updated another free #AWS mini project https://youtu.be/sYurFodsnlM - this one steps you through creating a simple serverless application which uses Web Identity Federation (google sign-in to access AWS resources).
If this is helpful, please retweet & follow.
Some people just break stuff to break it. Bitcoin. And lightning have been made stronger via being attacked and understanding the attacks and attackers.
I remember my first experience of ftp. Irc. Gopher. Usenet. All defining for my interest in tech. This is just like that only more of my kind of people grouped up already.
