Some of the gear for the move-the-rack project has arrived. The Unifi US-8-150 has been configured and so has the AP-AC-LITE. The Unifi controller makes that easy. Later today, some cat53 cables & keystone jacks will arrive.
Tuesday, a US-8-60W and some Wiremold conduit will arrive.
Thursday, the stacking hardware for the washer/dryer arrives. Coincidentally, so does the the electrician, to install the 20A outlets.
That cable I was thinking about? I'm going with fiber in conduit instead.
Measuring, I'll need 2x30ft lengths of cat5e cable. 1 used, 1 spare. It will be exposed to the outside, but possibly in conduit.
If it's in conduit, does it have to be anything special? Just usual cat5e cable should suffice?
Now that summer is here, I have given thought to moving the rack to the basement. Here are my thoughts so far, but I have no idea yet if I'm going through with this.

Nagios runs 'pkg audit' on each host. It checks installed packages for known security advisories.
It's interesting when a popular port gets a vulnerability. Nagios lights up all red for each host and I wind up checking a few times a day waiting for the patch.

Hmm. Much like me.
The stuff I've been playing with for notification being pushed to devices. Very flexible, very versatile.

Looking for a contact from @elastic ... looking to create a partnership between them and the FreeBSD project to get official support for FreeBSD. I'm sure that falls within the @freebsdfndation purview.
If you know names, please feel free to DM me if you wish.
What type of ssh keys are you using? Any preferences?
Most of mine are ed25519 but I have a few rsa keys for very old systems.
I don't think I have any dsa or ecdsa.
