I'm getting strong Dr. Claw vibes here... you just need to position the camera behind you 😂
this should cost like $50 TOPs Raspberry just is full of BS with its "shortage"
Maybe I missed the explanation, but if it doesn't get power or data over pcie, what's the reason for the pcie connector? Is it just a dummy connector to add structural support or can it also be used to power the card instead of POE or USB-c?
It's worth noting as well that PiKVM, the actual project, has their second Kickstarter live right now. While it may be some time before the device arrives, it is always good to support the original creators. Their first Kickstarter went very well, and I have no doubt that their second run will be as successful.
I'm a bit envious of your sysadmin setup there, you have all the requirements, hardware, beer, and a mildly amused deity who seems to accept pets and food as worship.
$215 is nuts.
Haha, I was just looking into building a low power server but the lack of IPMI was a complete dealbreaker for me. Amazing timing, really useful video!
Heck, it's worth it just to get the CM4.
You've got to think smarter, get your cat to administer your servers for you. The fluffier the cat, the better the SysAdmin.
That's not an animal, it's a supervisor
You know what’s funny, I was trying to find something exactly like this for my two computers before I went to my parents house for Christmas and couldn’t. Thanks man!
I like how the cat got bored and left . It’s like when I talk about tech and I look around and find everyone either gone or staring at their phones .
I got this a few months ago and absolutely love it for my homelab. I had a minor hiccup because I used my own CM4, but Jeff helped me get through it with some quick advice.
Great to see this becoming more affordable. The place I work for uses PCoIP cards like this from Teradici/HP for secure workstation access (more complex solution than this for secure access management).
Happy New Year Jeff! I've been following Pi KVM projects with great interest. I was a Tiny Pilot early adopter, then when they started charging for basic features I switched to the earlier version of Bli KVM. The Tiny Pilot still comes in handy for I/O on my testbench, but for server management nothing beats the Bli, I love the ATX power management! I have mine hooked up to a hotkeyed KVM switch to handle multiple servers at once, which works way better than paying a premium for IPMI on each if you get the right brand of switch. I do miss out on ATX power control over more than one, but a networked power strip+AC Back in BIOS is a decent fallback.
props for wearing different shirts in the video vs in the sponsor segment. Also, that cat is adorable
Your gorgeous cat breaks your continuity really badly ! LOL 😆👍
This is really cool. I'm constantly pay walled behind HP old servers.
Great review! BliKVM is one of the best projects I've ever seen. The developer is not only incredibly talented, but a super nice guy. He really goes out of his way to help you out, and even add custom features! There is so much you can do with this software, it truly is mind-blowing!
Nice Klingon t-shirt! 💪 And great vid, of course! Thanks!
