THANK YOU! This is perfect!
I haven’t used it in a few years, but one downside of an HE tunnel was that Netflix blocked traffic from it (since people were using it like a VPN to avoid geoblocks). I had to run a DNS proxy to filter out AAAA records for any Netflix domains.
The norm seems to be for hosting services to contract with both HE and Cogent if they decide to go with one of them. This is why for typical client browsing you wouldn't notice--the other side has ensured you can reach them. HE seems to be the cheaper option, so people will route most of their traffic through HE, and then separately contract with Cogent for the smaller amount of traffic originating from/to Cogent networks. Alternatively, you contract with another network provider who handles that idiocy for you.

#143Very impressive - but it would be terrible if they have to move house!

#144I need a silent ECC server. Doesn't need to be super powerful but I'd rather have at most one fan. Any advice?

#145Reading this post makes me happy we are in the world of cloud providers, but realize they don’t magically work. People build them. I’m glad I don’t.
It’s really not all that complicated. Although I still haven’t figured out if there’s some secret way to properly creating working Ethernet cables. I get blisters on blisters on my finger tips when making lots of cables.
Gave up on that years ago

#147> The generator is a 27kw Generator which powers everything in the house. This means the UPS's only need at most 10 seconds of runtime, as that's how long it takes for the generator to start and switch That Generac generator though: it powers everything but only in case there's a power outage right? P.S: there's a slight typo in TFA: it's Mellanox, not Mollonox.
Thanks, I'll correct that!

#148Nice 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!

energy bill might go up, but the heating bill goes down ...

Perhaps there’s solar.
