State of Things

Noisebridge infrastructure in a nutshell (per Sophia)

Components

Hardware

Networking

• 1x (finicky) EdgeRouter4: Has mysteriously gone offline and required a manual power cycle.
• 1x 1Gib Managed Switch w/ 8x PoE ports each rated up to 30w. Since it is manage we can remotely power cycles the Pis by manually disabling/re-enabling power to specific ports.

Nodes

• 5x Raspberry Pi 5s (berry{0...4}.garden):
• 1x ThinkCenter (sputnik.garden):
• 1x RasPi CM5 (ducky.garden): Primarily used to run bootstrapping cluster
• Barry (barry.garden): Used to bridge our cluster across the digital/biological divide allowing us access to the collective consciousness field
• 1x intel PC + old GPU(ml2.garden):
• ...many more?
