Ah Gotcha, I'm already doing that in that case, I throw everything in /media/

Don't ask me why /media, I think I read a guide about 10 years ago for something in Linux that used /media and now I just default to that

Thanks for that Nextcloud tip!

For the containers, do you mean mounting them to a NAS? I already have them mounted locally on the VM so the files are easy to grab there, but I've never thought about mounting them on a NAS. I'll have to give that a think

Veeam WAS quite RAM heavy when it used Microsoft SQL, but they have updated it to PostgreSQL which has helped, and Veeam for Microsoft 365 uses a fair chunk too. But the reason it actually has 10GB of RAM is that it seems when restoring files through the Arq application, it caches to RAM, and having more RAM makes it much faster. I could probably move it down to 8GB no issue

Keep in mind that most of those containers are very light and are not really "Doing" anything, unlike everything in the Backup VM

> have a single wifi router and power everything through that and still have much faster bandwidth than the author does

I'm confused, what's faster than what?

Here are some images of the meadow: https://files.networkprofile.org/s/86FzBHYfNwHyXTY

Its not quite as green as that right now, since we have a pretty bad drought here in Houston, but it will come back.

I had to make the small fence as it just kept trying to spread out. The fence is made from scrap 2x4's ripped down the middle to make 2x2's, and the rails are old scrap cedar pickets pressure washed and ripped down

I'll have to take some pictures of the bat house, maybe I should just make a post on all this, maybe that will please them

Its really disturbing how whiney Europeans (I assume you are) are with their superiority complexes.

I don't even know why I'm replying to you, but here we go

So I should ditch all this and rely on cloud services I guess. Cloud services are hosted in magic land where they don't use any power, right? If you use any cloud services, you are just as bad as me.

I have 17kw of solar on the roof. As we type this, I'm exporting 10kw of power back to the grid. I generate enough solar to completely cover all of my electricity usage, and during the night when I'm pulling from the grid, my power plan is sourced 100% from wind or solar.

All of this is my hobby, but also helps me learn skills for my job. That job is 100% work from home, which means I don't drive pretty much at all. I'm sorry my F150 offends you, which has less than 10,000 miles on the clock despite being 5 years old. That same F150 also gets better miles per gallon than a lot of regular cars on the road. My wifes Ford Escape (A compact "SUV" if you can call it that" gets worse milage than my truck. But I'm sure if you saw a Ford Escape, you'd be fine with it right?

Where in the post did I say how much power all this uses? You said "power... so much power" yet you don't even know how much power it uses...

I won't even go into detail how I've removed over 1000sqft of concrete on my property, how I've planted an 800sqft native wildflower meadow, have a bat house, use rainwater for plants, etc etc. But no I'm just such a terrible American. Grow up.

Well, its not really apples to apples, that is a 5G connection... Of course the speeds are bad and relatively expensive compared to fiber

Comcast is available, but it follows the same path as AT&T under the trees, so I figured that makes no sense

Also, the less money I give to Comcast the better.

I bought the house for that little box!

If I hit it big, I'll make an apartment with an attached datacenter and a quarter rack available for colo per unit

Yeah, I think you and me are on the same page there. It has ECC? Great! It doesn't oh well

Buy used off eBay 100%! Don't pay those prices

Even a few year old AP will work great. My R510 is pretty old, but works flawlessly

You know, I'd LOVE a model railway...

Call be crazy, but I dig the SG switches

All the fiber is specced as 20/10D, so should be well within tolerance

Yep, first thing I did was cut the phone line and Coax off the house!

I've stopped posting there as much, when my colo post got removed for not being "in my house" i knew it was going downhill

The reason its arranged like that is because it started as 1 switch and 1 patch panel, and slowly evolved, so its not ideal, but I am fairly happy with the outcome

If I could re-rack it all, I might make some changes. But that means turning everything off, and I'm not sure when, if ever, I want to do that

>My homelab is a mess of cables, and half-baked deployments running on old Supermicro and custom servers, that is way too noisy, and probably pulls a lot of power.

I dunno man, sounds identical to mine...

Thanks!

Yeah, the price on this genset I think has gone up around $4000 since I bought it, not including the install

I've been meaning to try Proxmox, but my day job heavily relies on ESXi, so its nice having something to mess with at home. I am also running vSphere with an Enterprise licence, so I get all the fancy stuff

My main reason for using Fiber or DAC's is because of the power consumption. Running 10G-BaseT uses about 3x the amount of power

Plus, I always think fiber is cool

Its a single story home, however it is from 1968, so its possible that in new code its outlawed or something

Correct, 17kw of solar on the roof

We don't do heating here in Houston. Maybe for the 2 days of Winter

I have 17kw of solar, so usually very close to $0 or below!

Correct, only if there is an outage

Thanks, I'll correct that!

Not much, because a lot of it is cached by CloudFlare

Total bandwidth over the past 5 hours is 253.37 GB. But total cached and served by CloudFlare is 237.82 GB. Uncached is just 15.54 GB

Here is CPU load on the VM: https://files.networkprofile.org/apps/files_sharing/publicpr...

Networking on the VM: https://files.networkprofile.org/apps/files_sharing/publicpr...

Your time is too valuable to make ethernet cables. Either punch down to a keystone jack or patch panel, or buy patch cables

Gave up on that years ago

Do you really need ECC? Most people don't

Honestly there is a few things I would do different now, so it would be welcome to have a do-over
