2018-2019 rig pic, internalsMy rig has been updated with new guts since the
first All-in-One Gaming, NAS, Docker with UnRaid [/all-in-one.html] post. I
limit my updates to every few years so that I make at least a couple major
generation jumps. And when I do this I upgrade 3 core components: CPU, RAM,
and Motherboard. These 3 components are critically connected when the upgrade
path is major versions away:
* Motherboard - nervous system, controlling all components
* RAM (memory) - amount It's hard to find healthcare claims data that looks like real payer financial claims. They are available via the CMS Synthetic Public Use File!

Although I ply my skills in the data science space, I think being a
well-rounded, self-sufficient computer expert is a neccessity to stay ahead of
the game. One way I stay ahead is to run my own server to find the latest
techniques and get my hands dirty. I am also into fast-twitch FPS PC games, so I
have some good gaming hardware and wanted to maintain the performance. We travel
a lot, so I needed to find some way to make these happen with a physically small

Maybe not surprising, but I have my home server set up as a one-stop shop. I
will do a write-up on this in detail. Short version: For the past couple months
now I use my gaming rig to run UnRAID, which allows me to keep the a file server
(NAS) running 24x7, run my main Windows environment as a VM, and run a Docker
environment for hosting application all on the same bare metal hardware.
This will focus on the setup I have for hosting this blog: a Ghost docker
container runs I accidentally deleted my real first post because I had no clue what I was doing
with git! I did a git reset --hard after initializing and git add-ing my Ghost
content directory. After reading into it more, apparently that command will
delete everything in the stage and working dierctory. I have a lot to learn
about git.
So, I am going to try to re-capture my intents for my site.
Mission Statement
I want to create this site to give back to the web that has helped me so much
with work and life.
