Here’s my beautiful unemployed-for-too-long-have-no-money-dont-care-about-looks lab :)

Hey it’s more than good enough to run all this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    My little Raspberry Pi 5 with an old 1tb Hard drive connected to a WiFi extender. It ain’t much but I like it.

    I used to work in automation as an electrician so I’m all about those coils and curves.

      Coils & curves?

      From my viewpoint it looks like balance and counter balance 🙂

      Are those all balanced, pivoting around a power outlet?

        It’s actually a plug in power outlet that plugs into a dual outlet box. It’s a snug fit so it’s able to hold all the extra weight surprisingly well.

        It’s hard to see but I made a hook with the cable wrap holding the Pi5 and it hooks onto the cable wrap that goes the top of the quad outlet. That top cable wrap won’t slide down because I have two USB cables holding it in position. I designed it so I can easily detach it in case I need to do anything with the Pi5 or it’s hard drive.

        I tried really hard to balance the Pi5 but the grey ethernet cable has too much weight so that’s the best I could do. I think I did a pretty good job all things considered :)
