Real hardware.
Real clutter.
Real work.
I run Unraid on my Dell server, with Docker services, virtual machines, networking gear, and a dead drive still waiting for attention.

PersonalityA LEGO Dell server, desk toys, and The IT Crowd playing on the CPU cooler LCD.
RealityEven the sysadmin has hardware waiting on maintenance.
The network side
The lower rack stack with patch panel, Ubiquiti gear, and the kind of orange cabling that absolutely refuses to be subtle.
The important infrastructure

The real Larry
Larry in the actual garage, on the real lift, surrounded by the tools and workspace where the maintenance happens.

Larry.
Wrenches.
No stand-ins.
I do Larry’s maintenance and repairs in the garage. From the front forks to bearings and brake work, MotoGarage keeps the history organized.

Cory Olsson
I work in systems administration, build software, run a homelab, and spend a fair amount of time wrenching on Larry.
