      I'm getting ready to go on my first real vacation in what feels like eons... (It's really been only a year or three). Going to go hang out with the wife's family for two weeks!

      So... I'll likely be mostly not on here while I'm gone, but you know how that goes. Heading from Georgia to Iowa by car... ~18hrs on a good run.

      where in Iowa?

      We'll be around West Burlington.

      lol that's barely iowa 😛

      Anywhere in iowa is barely iowa

          @travisdh1 Normally yes, because of the timing. But you can use stepper motors which works pretty well with RPis.

          This is a good one for roughly 2-3 dollar incl. a ULN2003 controller board:

          If you're just using the steppers to turn the knobs and things on the controllers I suppose. I was assuming you'd want to directly control most of it using the electronic controllers. Adding local controls is easy, the only difficult part is making sure you're using the correct signaling going to the models.

            Having problem is unitrends free and Linux agents.
            Can't seem to find any good guides to diagnose why it's not running or listening/

                  Drove all night to get to Bucharest. We are camped out in the hotel by the airport now. We leave first thing in the morning.

                    I'm setting up XenServer on the first of the two host.

                    Sadly XS doesn't see the 16GB SD card, but it does see a 16GB USB.

                      Is there a BIOS setting to make them look like SATA devices or similar?

                            A benefit for us to installing to USB is that I have plenty of 16GB USB's to clone too..

                                I had issues running XenServer from USB. not sure if it was just the USB or the Dell Server but had to install on local disks to get it booting and responsive.

                                      I'm actually looking at another house this afternoon, it needs work, but if we can get it for the right price it'll be a good step up.

                                          I looked at three or four houses last week. The one that I am most interested in is not for sale, but several of the owner's cousins and their local priest all think that they will sell to us so their cousins are asking them about the idea. The property is great and has like 2.5 acres of land... enough to be flexible but small enough to not be a burden. And the next door building is... a moonshine hut!!
