It happened already a handful of time that the Raspberry Pi are not reachable in the network, so I need to have a proper way to access them directly. The solution would be a KVM switch, a little overkill for my Pis, but I’m looking for something more flexible.
I found another good deal and managed to get an 8-Port MiniViewโข Ultra KVM Switch. It is good having 8 ports, but it is a suffer having to deal with VGA & PS/2.

BONUS: in case you didn’t notice, I had to move the power strip to the back to have better cable “management”

For the moment I settled down with these 2 chaps:

In the next post, I’ll talk about a NAS that I’ll use to store all my data and manage it in the local network.
