The ol' GPU hermit crab swaperoo will finally put a Displayport/HDMI output in the household server, meaning I'll be able to retire the VGA to HDMI converter I have running from its ASpeed BMC into my monitor.
Or rather I'll be about to repurpose that VGA converter for the small fleet of retrocomputers I'm planning to bring online this season. And the USB-PD trigger dongle I picked up means I'll be able to replace its power brick, too.
I love it when a plan comes together!

Oof, that was a bit annoying: 1. The B580 GPU is out of aquitaneng (desktop machine) and the B70 Pro is in 2. The B580 GPU is now in sundial (household server), with an 8-pin PCIe cable running in from the PSU 3. Fans on the CPU cooler in sundial are replaced and silent again ( https://mastodon.social/@gnomon/115713568491941135 ) 4. firmware-intel-graphics from stable-backports is now on sundial, plus kernel 6.19.13 5. I enabled Intel's OpenVINO apt repo on sundial and pulled in those libraries Happy to have it done.
