Xerxes Pi home lab blade network server! - Cheap home lab Pi server runs power over ethernet and M.2

Xerxes Pi is designed as a practical edge server rather than a hobby board. It prioritises reliability, storage, and real-world deployment, with support for ARM software, standard operating systems, and headless operation. This makes it suitable for research, small business, and field use where stability, compatibility, and extensibility matters. Run it with one of many Raspberry Pi Compute compatible boards and many compatible M.2 devices.

What’s on your daily checklist (outside of work)?

We re usually very good at creating to-do lists for work.
But what about everything outside of work?

I ve started turning my personal habits into a checklist to build discipline and make these habits non-negotiable over time.

What helps you become a CEO? Start by asking questions.

Is there any drama on Facebook today?
Did anyone like my story?
Did my crush drop any hints?
Is anyone asking me out today?
Does my best friend have new stories to tell me?

Looking back, I can t help but laugh at myself. None of these thoughts really helped me grow, yet they always gave me that emotional, butterfly-in-the-stomach feeling.

Everything started to change when I entered a phase of I don t even know who I am.
And that s when I began searching for real answers.
