Never link your facebook and instagram account to avoid permanent suspension

My facebook account I have had since I was a young teenager (15-17 years) was permanently suspended because the instagram account I linked to broke the community guidelines. despite the accounts have nothing in common or anything and are only linked because of that it's all one account and everything on it just gets AXED.

here's the bit that stings the most I haven't used that instagram account in 2 years. I made it for a business that I tried and failed and after 2 months I abandoned it.

then 2 years later out of literally nowhere it was banned saying I broke community guidelines.

I used that facebook account to run two of my business pages for a special needs clinic and that page is just gone with no recovery option.

I bought the meta verified badge thing (1 week trial) and I got in touch with "support". They did not care in the absolute slightest.

is there anything that can help at all?

I built a wooden server rack (24U) for about £30

I built a server rack from 2x2 and regular hand tools

It wasn't as difficult as I thought. I initially messed up the width, so I had to redo the middle pieces

But I'm very happy with how it turned out.

I currently only have 10U rack rails installed, but I'll be looking to upgrade that maybe next week. With the size and spacing I would be able to fit 24U but I don't need 24U so the 10U is more than enough (for now)

I do plan to get some 90-degree angled braces for extra support just for more peace of mind, but I think it's fine

The servers in the pic collectively weigh about 70-75kg

It's a Dl380e g8 and a Dl360p I got both for free and fully loaded so that is why I made the rack for them

Tools used:

Saw

Drill

Circular saw

Screwdriver

Wood screws (5mm x 100mm wood screws) to screw the pieces together

general purpose silver screws (4.0 x 40mm) to screw in the rack rails (used 6 on each rack rail but will probably full out all of them)

Current cut list:

4× 1200mm uprights

6× 900mm depth pieces

4× 19.5" (~495mm) width pieces

Dimensions:

1200H

900D

~600W

Server pics

I still need to move my main tower server into this rack, though

NOTES: I didn't use wood glue and if I did i would of either had to start from the beginning because of the mistake on the middle parts or create a tonne more word to sand down the glued parts I would have tried to get off.

I just took off a bios chip and I have a programmer (onboard clips weren't working)

I want to know how I can repair the two brown patches I damaged.

What would be the best way to do this?
