merch

An ode to the homelabber:

As a software developer, I never was a true sysadmin. I never pulled a server to replace a failed drive at 3 a.m. I never got to roll my little maintenance cart through a cold aisle, with hearing protection to keep my fragile eardrums from rupturing amidst a sea of 100+ dB screaming server fans...

That is, until I built my homelab. Now I can act like a sysadmin as I make sure my kids never have a moment of downtime while they're streaming their favorite episode of Odd Squad.

Like my last new shirt (It was DNS, I figured I'd mention my latest shirt design here on the blog in case you're interested:

As a parent of four, I thought it would be especially fitting on a onesie, therefore in addition to two 'normal' shirt options, there's a version for your baby (this version is out of print for now... let me know in the comments if you'd like to see it again!):

I forgot to mention it on my blog, but my latest T-shirt design has been wildly popular... mostly because it's almost always true:

You can buy the 'It was DNS' T-shirt on RedShirtJeff.com.

It makes me throw up a little in my mouth to say this, because it's such a YouTuber thing to do... but I now have an official merch store to go along with my YouTube channel:

The Red Shirt Jeff store has original designs that I find interesting or funny, and there are three shirt designs available at launch:

• It has been 0 days since I recompiled the Linux kernel (also available in a Women's version).
• Release the Magic Smoke
• Hard Drive & RAID-Z2
