PowerEdge-shutup
shell ballgag for Dell servers, tested working with G11 and G12, G13 and G14 too but with conditions**.

R710-Fan-Control
A fork of R710-IPMI-TEMP from NoLooseEnds/Scripts, generalised to a fan control daemon for Dell Poweredge servers. Has reported to work on R710s, R520, R730. Allows more flexible control of the fan throttling vs the vanilla iDrac control which tends to ramp the fans up to full velocity the moment you add non-Dell hardware.

WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
- If you install drives that it doesn't understand the temperature sensor output from (my WD Blues, for example), the fan minimum will punch up to 66%. You can override this by disabling the automatic fan control and operating the fans yourself. There are a few scripts out there, like the PowerEdge Shutup script (which you run on a remote device like a rPi) and u/spacelama's R710 Fan Control script (which I use on my R730xd fine). Only downside is fans are super high during startup and shutdown, even compared to the normal high fans on startup
