I need a silent ECC server. Doesn't need to be super powerful but I'd rather have at most one fan. Any advice?
Some Ryzen chips (I think- might be TR) often support ECC- see if you can find a compatible mobo that supports ECC modules and Ryzen sand! When I last checked there were a few products out there
Nice and clean, great work! If you don't mind me asking, does your energy bill take a huge blow because of this? I had a modest homelab set up and had to start shutting things off due to how much it costs to keep it running I apologize if I missed this info in the blog!

I've just checked and there's some mobos for $60 with ECC. Is that for real? Supermicro costs like $1000, half that for refurbished.
Is there a post that covers the "why?" of all this? As someone researching maybe running some Ethernet for more stable WiFi and faster Internet access for general stuff, maybe some fiber for infotainment other purposes since it can lengthen various cables, and hooking up some security and nature cameras, I can't fathom why all of this is needed outside of it just being a hobby or running some sort of business (tradin…
Speaking personally, it's just another form of tinkering. Nobody HAS to do it, much like nobody has to buy and maintain their own computer, car, home, etc... We do it because we can and it makes us happy. Extra note- I would NEVER recommend a business use their home resources for work unless you know what you're doing (and why you're doing it). Even my homelab has vulnerabilities and I'm a security professional- more…
All that and no mention of IPv6? At least get the basics down first.
In some magic happy land where you can use your IPv6 prefix over both WANs, then yeah, things can work, but that doesn't work for residences, generally.

energy bill might go up, but the heating bill goes down ...
SpeedTest.net tests are useless, as ISPs give higher priority to traffic to known speed checkers. They can legally do that as we don't have Net Neutrality anymore.
Is this true? Do you have a link?
