Glad to see you back, Jeff. Hope you're feeling much better. I've just developed an even greater appreciation of your IT knowledge and excellent communication skills. Somehow, you manage to break down the most complex technologies into plain language for average folks like myself. The previous video was regarding how to make a simple split rail PSU, but the delivery required an EE degree to comprehend. So, what's the point of instructing those folks, who already understand engineering lingo, how to SMD solder? As it happens, I actually need a noise-free +/-9VDC split supply for my galvos' op amp circuit. But, that video only wasted my time. On the other hand, I always learn stuff from your videos, even though the immediate need doesn't exist for me personally. But, the knowledge didn't just pass in one ear and out the other. Those tidbits of retained knowledge are potential tools for future successes. Thanks for all your great work, Jeff.👍

4:02 When I was a teenager, my friends and I used to go war driving in the middle of the night; nothing malicious though. We would drive to the parking lot of a big apartment complex and start a 10 minute timer. Each if us had a "Call sign" for the night. They were usually WD1,WD2,WD3 and WD4. The goal was to see who could log into the most wifi routers, and change the router ID to their call sign. Once the 10 minute timer was up, we would use a NET STUMBLER tool to log all of the near by WiFi routers as we drove away. Then when we, "got back to home base", we would see the most "WD" 's. Looking back, the funny part was just how paranoid we were about every car or person we would see. Every car head lights we saw someone would shoot, "COPS!".

Really appreciate POE, that's shouldn't be taken for granted at that price. I do like how modular this whole piKVM project is though. If you just want to tinker around a bit at home or want to use it for setting up computers headlessly from time to time, then you can cheap out a lot. The lowest entry point seems to be the Pi Zero W with a HDMI USB or (better) CSI Adapter, but you will have to keep in mind, the Pi Zero has way less power. Usually getting 5 to 8 fps is a step back from the CM4s performance but is absolutely enough for administrative usage.

The WoPCIe for a cheap solution like this one actually doesn't add too much value. Direct power on signal on the physical header actually does better on emergency reset or power on events, as it keeps working even if the chipset pcie bus went on hang on. If i remember, the PiKVM supports commands to do WoL from the interface using the built-in-host network card, which covers well WoL on home usage. What would be more useful is a sort of interface to read from the actual state of the motherboard/chipset/cpu from the I20/SMBus, so the KVM would "know" if the system is completely in a hang on/critical/permanent reset state. Unfortunately most of consumer motherboards don't even have an I2O header.

Hi Jeff, I have a couple of important notions regarding refresh screen lags... There are two screen show modes: MJPEG and H264. The latter one was implemented exactly to address the problem of low frame rate! There was a big discussion between Pi-KVM OS devs. At least, in theory, H264 encoding standard has innate means to track for frame changes and deliver only those ones instead of sending the whole picture all the time! In the case of low connection bandwith and/or not performant enough hardware (both are our cases) this should deliver much higher refresh rates! So, I suggest you to check out refresh speed in H264/WebRTC mode and share the results in your channels. I'm one of those guys, who wanted to see the final results! Cheers!

This is ideal for a full KVM where you need to proper access to a system from power down to the desktop. I need to look at something like this for when I'm out of country but need to access my system.

ILO4 and iMana from Huawei respectively HPE are pretty awesome things! It's awesome to install OS over network and mount ISO files

Out of stock, I'd say that means a successful video! Also nice to see someone that knows what sponsored means, I see people all the time trying the old, they sent it to me for free, but it's NOT sponsored, um sure.

Very interesting product. I've been using original pikvm enclosure since one year and appreciate all pikvm functions. But this device brings IPMI access to another level.

Most power supply units are relatively efficient when you use a lot of power, but when you use a very low % of their rated output, like with Wake-On-LAN standby mode, they are inefficient (20%, so 50W of draw might mean that your computer is only using 10W. ) Definitely a cool feature to have

Just getting around to watching this one, but this will be yet another Jeff Geerling project going in my house. (Right after the 3D printed Pi Rack, the same PoE switch, the air quality sensor lol). My gaming PC is currently my Plex Server and DevOps learning computer and chugs ~120W 24 hours a day. Once I move my Plex server, I was planning on shutting it off, but want to be able to turn it on remotely for quick DevOps stuff. So there we go, your video to the rescue.

I was literally just talking to my boss about KVM over IP yesterday, and here is an updated video about it. I definitely wouldn't run any high-value assets off of this... but it could be a nice insurance policy for an endpoint you just need god-like control over at all costs.

From what I can tell this seems only useful if you're going to be completely turning off the computer/server and not just putting it into sleep mode.

This is really cool. I use my home pi to remote-start my home PC and connect from my phone. I connect with WireGuard, connect to the Pi with connectbot, send an etherwake magicpacket command to the PC, and then access it via Google remote desktop. Speaking of computers in computers, I was thinking the other day about using a Pi for NAT using my PC's 3-inch bay slots when it's off. So I could access my storage from the PC or from remote without having the PC on 24/7. Just some ideas. Nice vid!

So this is a BMC which iDrac, iLo or any server has. Also, IPMI is being replaced by REDFISH which is an open source protocol that allows any BMC that supports it to be used. So the server market may start seeing many more BMC devices come to market now that redfish is being adopted.

Well that's cool. I wish this existed about 10 years ago. Not necessarily the PCI bracket but a device excepted video and exported keyboard and mouse. There was a Dell mini system that just refused to actually work right after a year and it would've been so helpful to remotely reboot and work on it among many other systems. What I really wanted was a box that I could drop on somebody's system and network and have full control of the device under repair.
