I just bought a Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE along with a U6 Enterprise a few weeks ago and so far it’s my favorite tech purchase ever. The management interface is years if not decades ahead of everything else I’ve used before. My only complaint is that there’s no public API and thus no official Terraform providers.
I actually moved away from ubiquiti stuff to OPNsense + TP link AP. The firewalls rules on OPNsense makes a ton more sense and the plugins are pretty awesome.

I apologize if it seemed like I was irate- I'm not and your question is 100% the question we all ask ourselves before doing things like this (or for some of us, it's the first question on the wife acceptance factor audit). If anyone is running a data center in their home for a serious reason they either have small loads to justify the power consumption (rpi k8s cluster says hi), stacks to blow, regulatory pressure, o…
Lol. I was under zero impression that you were irate or anywhere close. My question was a little judgemental perhaps but not necessarily meant in any way. I was also curious if there was some interesting need that had come up. My primary thing that I want is a bunch of PoE powered nature cameras, buy I'm still figuring that out. It will affect whatever comes up though. Oh, and stable WiFi coverage. I certainly have h…
He eventually got rid of the cameras because, well... They were shitty and only told him the critters were near AFTER he popped 'em. I think he's got a for-purpose system (in his own words "the new cameras didn't fall off a truck") now but it was a fun project!
I need a silent ECC server. Doesn't need to be super powerful but I'd rather have at most one fan. Any advice?
I'd start with something like this[0]. The only search term I used was "xeon-d". You can easily find other form factors and combinations. This line of CPUs is lower power (the linked one is rated at 45W), so should be trivially cool-able with a very quiet system. They support ECC RAM. You're likely to find mostly Mini-ITX and uATX boards, so they will fit in just about any case you want. [0] https://www.ebay.com/itm/…
Are there any building code considerations (e.g., chimney effect for a fire) regarding a multi-floor wiring chase? Isn't this why laundry chutes are no longer permitted in some places?

I believe that's why Netflix introduced the fast.com speedtest, which runs through Netflix servers. Reducing the likelihood that the test gets shaped.
The link - https://fast.com Cloudflare's - https://speed.cloudflare.com
Cloudflare's speedtest often performs worse for me.
iperf3 - https://iperf.fr Is the most accurate CLI speed test I've found (depending on which server you choose).
My home network: Wifi router. Laptop. External hard drive, encrypted. Ready to move at any time.
Granted, that means you NEED an Internet connection... But it's as close to "walking data center" as anyone can get.
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…

I would take Ruckus Unleashed over unifi all day long. Ubiquiti, unfortunately, feels like everything is constantly in beta, both hardware and software. Wait until they release a UDM SE v2 and abandon firmware on the UDM SE. The UDM in particular is a masterclass in how to upset all your customers. (coming from a previous all-in UBNT customer that had a first gen UDM Pro). Ebay Ruckus + OPNsense and my network has ne…

There's a reason other than "because it's fun to tinker." I do it because I love the capabilities it provides. I don't love managing Ceph & Proxmox & whatnot, but I love being able to deploy whatever I want into a beefy cluster with 10gb without having to worry about cloudspend. If I wanted to replicate what I run in my home infra (I don't consider it a lab), it'd cost 200-300 in compute and easily another 300 in sto…
What do you run on your cluster? CAD compute?
My big services are a Ceph cluster, a VPN, Borg (backups) and a K8s cluster (using kubespray).
In K8s I have the main stuff: Plex, Gitlab, Gitlab runner (for CI), vaultwarden (passwords), miniflux (RSS, might be moving to freshrss though), rust desk (remote-desktop), home assistant (smarthome).
My next project is to stream metrics into grafana. I have soil moisture sensors in my garden connected to stm32 boards, I just need to setup the receiving side and I can control my drip lines (they're using opensprinkler) with soil moisture information along with weather info.
