March the Massacre π«
This is how I have seen the month of March 2024. An unforgettable month in terms of experiences, challenges, feelings, etc. A complete blow your mind month in a nutshell... and the small moments I had to reflect, did really changed a bit of the perspective on how you see life.
It was not just my personal life situation, but also the rip offs that I saw happening in the cryptocurrency world (these happen specially when the market is quite exciting), the bombings and atrocities around the world (war stuff and others), menacing human society and deterring its evolution.
All have its toll and continue to provoke society ability to adapt. Can you see why the Hive community has such a tremendous value? For example, in the AI world where everything is rapidly expanding, the way we saw the world is never going to be the same, even if we can't currently see it with our eyes. But, day by day, it is progressively changing, as a result of a huge masterplan from large corporations.
Who keeps up with the thinking ahead, will have an advantage...
π§ The ish come back!
I now have electricity! π π
But I confess that most of this post was actually written on the cell phone. Completely opposing the usual/regular life I had two weeks ago. It was nice to see another perspective of life.
This also means (now sinking in) all my plans gone bush (delayed), and what I was preparing to announce, I canβt! At least until I recover half of the stuff that I now discovered as having suffered some atrocities due to the abrupt power cut.
Plus normal life stuff I need to attend to...
But, going through another month without a giveaway, on top all that has been happening, sounded even worse. So, I have decided to still do the original giveaway rules, but NOW with π€© 5 winners. Thanks for everyone that provided feedback.
I still have to adapt things to the new giveaway format I am preparing, but for now (and to make my life simpler) will leave the rules as they where, and hopefully next month I can update stuff with the new upcoming changes.
π€ New gear and strategy plans!
While preparing for all these days, I had to beef up some form of living without grid power, so now I have a massive power bank (1400 Wh) supporting some of the equipment that will be running for Hive and Hive-Engine.
This means I can sustain power loss and still have time to either keep running for a few hours, or turn off things "politely", avoiding any losses or need for recovery. In the near future I will be even be able to run almost interruptedly for what I want to build as "minimal services".
I need to get some more lower power gear (usually to build NASes) that I can then set a light-HE and Hive witness node. Then I should be able to run both easily with less than 50 W, which is sort of my high cap limit (as an objective), resulting in the ability to run that plus another 30 W for the internet access, for almost a full day. π
And you can see where I am going... Then, with a solar panel or a wind turbine, I could basically sustain the gear without any costs. Obviously discounting the internet costs, but either way, at least without any running costs.
I am far from saying this costed nothing... obviously the prices of the equipment are just crazy high and impossible to justify the return on investment from the electricity point of view, but obviously I am not doing this because of money, but instead because I enjoy it.
π€¨ News about The ATX Tower! π€
Right, about this one. Unfortunately I ran into some operational design problems, which resulted from the decision of using the server cases in a vertical position. I completely forgot that servers are not meant to be running in this position, and the reality is that the disk weight causes problems with the SAS/SATA connectors in the backplane, creating intermittent connectivity failures when in conjunction with the disk vibrations of the seek activity.
The problem does not exist if using SSDs or NVMes because there aren't any vibrations with those. And because I don't know yet which disks I am going to rely on this year, I am going to pause this project for now, until I finalize the cooling mechanics of the server (still waiting for some parts) and become comfortable the temperatures (the Intel 14900K is a pain in the ass to cool).
Timeline wise is ok, because winter is coming, so I don't need to rush. But I need to make sure it will handle next summer temperatures. Then, I will make a call for either to re-adapt the tower to run the two servers in a different orientation, or if I go full SSD/NVMe (which is quite probable), maintain the vertical position.
My ποΈ motivation!
Have fun, play games, learn, and when possible, teach new things to newcomers, showing them how interesting this place can be.

In some sense it did help understand a bit more of other things.
Hive node is back into prod, and the Hive-Engine is almost caught up. Probably more 24 hours.
On a side note, I wasn't aware that there were witnesses also for H-E! Going to cast my vote for you now :)

Thank you! I use @atexoras.witness for HIVE/HE. And yup, all chains need to have their independent consensus methods. Even when they are a sub-chain (in case of HE), or as we call it, 2nd layer chain.
Note that in this case, WORKERBEE staked is the voting mechanism, not HIVE.
Also, something most people don't realize that staked WORKERBEE also mines BEE by random lottery. π
Somewhere in my brain I knew it... but I completely forgot about it, somehow! Thanks for heads-up :)

I feel this post coming right after my own mood right now...I just realized I got ripped off from TapFantasy of about 6k....it's a sad day and I hate metaverses who want to build a good reputation but they're playing with their end-users' assets.
π¬ Be careful, and research before going into things. #hive is a great place to ask questions because people here are not afraid to say, "it's crap".
Nice read! Thanks for sharing this update. Happy to hear about the almost solved electricity issue. πATXπ

Thanks for sharing. I have casted my vote to atexoras.witness
π Appreciated, and please keep finding more witnesses in order to cast the rest of your possible votes. It provides two important results besides the obvious (security of the chain, etc) ones...
I wasn't able to get some things done last month but hoping this month
Me too...
Great to see that the monthly πATXπ powerup giveaway is back on course again!
ππ - it was darkeness times out here... π₯Ά
ATX
Looking like a complicated setup, hopefully you get the power sorted.
ATX for gold.
π
The reason why I am packing up so much is to be efficient basically. Obviously, there is more complexity involved in doing things this way. But if you can "work" with those complexities, then this is a cheaper option to do some stuff.
I hope you will overcome problems on your path. Your set up looks super neat, hope it will run smoothly :)
ATX
It has been running lots of tests already and currently is running my witnesses... RPCs and others. Its quite a beast of IO. But still waiting to increase more. Then when I run out of CPU, I will need to get an AMD mobo to expand.
It seem that all is going in the right direction:) Good luck with all your projects!
Well having electricity is nice... Is it just me, or are there more and more problems with electricity supply in many parts of the world over the past few years? Even in some places where no such problems usually exist. Crazy times.
ATXπ
I would say, blame the weather... and more infrastructure = more probability of more failures.
My case was really a corner case... but I guess it can happen to anyone. In my case it was probably old BAD building standards mixed with failure to understand the future... eventually it happened.
Hello, this is my first power up, I hope I have good luck
ATX
Welcome! Nice you see new faces around... :P Hopefully the extra winners pool will keep more people "interested". Good luck!
Once this post curation ends, I will get into announcing the winners in a comment of my own main post. You will be tagged if you won. Followed on twitter too π
Congratulations @forykw! You received a personal badge!
Wait until the end of Power Up Day to find out the size of your Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!

Did the pre-badge change on purpose? Used to be a question mark version right?
It's been fixed. Thanks for notifying us.
I missed this ATX post, !LOL I have been busy at work as well.
Sounds like you might need solar and a big battery, expensive to set up but if your staying put in the same place it might pay itself off quickly

@forykw! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @ new.things. (3/10)

Those Elons Musk wall batteries would be "perfect!"... power wall is that the name? I would really advise anyone to install those with a good amount of solar and wind (if you have). Raises the house value and you get it all paid after 10-20 years.
I am really thinking on it... adding that to the budget is the hard part. Even if you know it will pay off.
Glad to know you now have electricity once again, wonder how you sail through days without it.
Oh I saw you got a power bank later on in the post, congratulations on that.

@forykw! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @vickoly. (1/5)
Well, it was the only way to kind of survive without main power grid... fun times mate!
Let's move forward my friend, no one can stop mass adoption, Hive will play a big role in this, I know it.
ATX to moon.
I have all the NFTs I think, unless new ones have come out
