Double stitched Penguin Beanie

This is a quite unusual post for this blog, it’s not what I’ve expected to put on here. But I wanted to share it somewhere more permanent than many other places where I hang out on the internet. So here it goes.

I’ve been knitting for a bunch of years now, and some years ago I was intrigued by a knitting method that is called double knitting. In theory it’s fairly simple because you basically make two knitting’s at the same time in parallel and mirror the pattern.

So for a long time I have wanted to replace my file server, because it’s an old HP Microserver that is really slow. And at the same time I have had this beast of a desktop tower PC that I haven’t used with a Xeon and 32GiB ECC memory that has just been turned off due to noise. The obvious solution is to re-purpose that install and move it to a location where noise doesn’t matter, e.g. the closet (a.k.a the server room) where the file server lives.
