Well, with the way cats bounce around the plac£ when excited, you have to ask sometimes.

I had originally mistaken that for a giant club when I glanced at the image, and wondered what, exactly, they thought a public education would teach.

Only the admin of your instance can see your IP address, it doesn’t get federated to other instances.

It’s not the fall that hurts, it’s the sudden stop at the end.

You’ll need a bracket that’s designed for the card I think, but if you have a drill and there’s a blanking plate you can canibalise you could probably make something good enough for a headless server.

It is a fun picture, I enjoy pictures of mildly horrifying kludges that do the job.

It’s not screwed in, and you’re going to be hanging a fairly heavy cable out of it. It’ll probably be fine short term, but any vibration or movement of the machine or monitor risks partially dislodging the card.

It also looks like you have removed the bracket and reattached it outside the case, which will mean that the plug on the cable can’t mate properly with the socket, likely leading to intermittent issues.

In short, it might work for testing the machine, but it’ll cause you pain in the long term. Get, or make, a full sized bracket and it’ll be much happier.
