Lab bench upgrade
I’ve been refactoring my bench.
Cabling for ‘verve’ done
Network upgrade
Added capacity for an extra six hosts on my LAN and now most of my network infrastructure supports 2.5Gbps ethernet speeds. And my janky rack is obsolete now.
The equipment is four TP-Link TL-SG108-M2 ethernet switches which I got from Amazon.
Oh, and I should probably mention that the TP-Link switches come with piddly little adhesive feet, but I didn’t use them, I got some of these big honkin’ ones instead: 25x Rubber Feet Pads Self Adhesive Isolation Feet Speakers Foot Shock Absorption. My logic is that more space between switches equals better cooling.
Cables, cables, cables
These are some of the cables I pulled out of the lab yesterday which haven’t been plugged back in yet. I’m just waiting for my new computer to be installed before I complete the cabling.

This is a long and unedited video of me upgrading my computer from ‘longing’ https://www.jj5.net/sixsigma/Longing to ‘lore’ https://www.jj5.net/sixsigma/Lore
As I said today was computer upgrade day. I made a video of me doing the upgrade, it runs for about two hours: Motherboard upgrade from ASUS PRIME B550M-A to ASUS ProArt B550-CREATOR. It was pretty uneventful and so far it seems to have been successful too. Yay.

Upgrading my server today
Well I’ve been procrastinating on, and preparing for, my server upgrade and today is gonna be the day.
Later this afternoon I will be upgrading ‘longing‘ to ‘lore‘.
This will involve:
- installing a new motherboard
- removing a BluRay drive and replacing it with a SATA mobile rack
- installing some new M.2 NVMe drives
- switching from Ubuntu to Debian
- importing my old spinning rust ZFS zpool
Fingers crossed. Wish me luck!
Super Nintendo Development Wiki
I found this kickass resource: Super Nintendo Development Wiki. See for instance Schematics, Ports, and Pinouts.
One of my YouTube viewers Max donated some stuff to the channel today. How cool is that!? Expect to see some Nintendo awesomeness in the near future. <3
Framework Laptop
I think my next laptop might be a Framework Laptop.
