My Internet provider just installed a 2,5/1Gbps Internet connection and I’ve asked the guys to run a couple of their fiber to connect my router (HP Prodesk with OPNsense) to my server. I didn’t know that the fiber is single mode and all the SFP+ sold used now seems to be all for multi mode fiber (www.bargainhardware.co.ukfor...
Hi everybody! For my OPNsense router (on a VM on Proxmox) I need a 2,5Gbe card (to connect to the ONT of my provider); I only have 2 PCIe 3.0 x1 or 1 x4 because the only x16 is for a dual SFP+ fiber card....
Hi all, I have a Proxmox server hidden away where it annoys nobody, and a small PC I’m the TV cabinet that I need to turn On/OFF every time I use it and when a movie needs to be transcoded, the fan spins like crazy....
My home server is a Proxmox machine with some VM one of which is Open Media Vault from which a Windows PC plays videos to my TV. I want to get rid of the Windows PC and connect the TV directly to the server with an HDMI+USB RJ45 extender, but…how do I get a GUI from it? Is it even possible? I would need to connect to a Windows...
I want to build a proper server with room for 40+ HDDs to move my media server to and have RAID 1. I know a lot about PCs and software, but when it comes to server hardware I have no clue what I’m doing. How would I go about building a server that has access to 40+ RAID 1’d HDDs?
I run a Windows 11 VM on xcp-ng to do testing and Windows specific graphic and video work. I use an old R9 390 in passthrough mode right now but it’s running out of steam....
I was found a listing on eBay for a “Mellanox CX354A ConnectX-3 FDR Infiniband 40GbE QSFP+” card for quite cheap. By the sound of the listing title it supports both infiniband and 40GbE, is that right? I would like to try out infiniband, but I would be buying for the 40GbE. And are there good drivers for modern linux distros...
My homelab is still in its infancy as I’m at the start of my self-hosting journey. I’m now down the rabbit hole though and where I can self host, I’d like to....
The majority of my homelab consists of two servers: A Proxmox hypervisor and a TrueNAS file server. The bulk of my LAN traffic is between these two servers. At the moment, both servers are on my “main” VLAN. I have separate VLANs for guests and IoT devices, but everything else lives on VLAN2....
I got a server case and some rails for free, they were annoying to build (yes, build), and I could not find anything regarding those rails online, so I decided to blog about it, in the hope of helping someone with all the same questions as me!...
After looking into travel routers a bit, I quickly came across Gl.iNet which seems to be a leader in the space. It seems they use OpenWRT which is great, but with some special sauce on top of it....
