Wishing I was at #scale23x this weekend! Been extremely busy moving hundreds of @osuosl@fosstodon.org servers to a new data center over the last 3-4 months. Thankful we're almost done with the move. Just one more week left!

@dexter @osuosl are you referring to the systems for FreeBSD? Yes, I'll be moving the P9 next week. I need to deprecate the two P8's due to their age and support issues.

Last few days at #osuosl:
- Switched one of the ppc ceph osd nodes w/ a HW RAID card, showed significant performance improvements! Ordered more cards for the other nodes
- Fixed a failed VM resize from P9 to P10
- Finished a PR to add radosgw support to our #ceph cookbook
- Made a PR to sync up our new #Chef managed #mailman VM. Hoping to migrate off the legacy system soon!
- Moved #Debian #mipsel motherboard to spare Supermicro case as the old case has a bad PSU & is not rack friendly

I really hope the company behind ClaudeBot (likely for LLM data) will finally figure out how to throttle their bot. For now, they're getting a global block on my infra until they do.
