Get yourself some old cisco 3600 re-flash it with standalone firmware and get enterprise class WAP for cheap.

yes, is what i get reading about that server backplane. NVME part will need another "controller"

what is wrong with old good LSA 2008 based HBAs with SAS-to-Oculink cable? and for NVMe part, adapter is just port format converter, pick any.

ICINGA/NAGIOS? you can even feed data already collected by Prometheus to it if you want.

Ahh age of switching PSUs and led lights. 20 years ago you will notice it in an instant.

A4-6210 with build in GPU has TDP of 15W. There is no point to optimize anything it is seeping power already. may be try to use tlp to limit max charge level of the battery ( i'm not sure is you laptop is supported). You can play with governors too, but I personaly will not bother. You obviously need multiuser.target but not GUI.

With raid 10 - i would not risk it . With RAID6 ( obviously not on BTRFS) it is fair game if you have solid return policy for drives which are DOA. Go for SAS drives, they are cheaper (but generally hotter and nosier). And look for old-new-stock on specialized sites, no one in enterprise needs say 8tb drives, so they selling them cheap at times.

Get drive, connect , run long smart self-test ( for 18tb it is probably take a day). If it passed you are reasonably sure that it will not die soon. And keep running these test regularly, as soon as they start failing, replace.

Bump root cert to 10 years and use intermediate with shorter lifetime. root cert should be stored and processed off net.

It would be useful to know laptop spec. In general, do not bother power consumption should be lower enough as it is.

to stop guessing what HDD to replace when one failed. VM can't see actual HDDs as SMART is not getting forwarded.

I guess HE is still providing free IPv6 via IPv4 tunnels.

Biggest problem will be BW and latency to your lab from the Internet. I would use dedicated hardware and subnet for it. Security wise, if you can make your site 100% static it will help a lot with security. I'm personally set on AWS S3 + CloudFlare combo with static site generator running in my lab. Yes it is not really "self hosted" but worries free solution for me.

 

Here we are - 3600 which was still under manufacture 2-3 years ago are not get patched. Shame on you AMD, if it is true.

 

I'm looking for hardware for my new NAS. Is there any Intel CPUs which support Quick Sync and ECC memory at same time? And is there any MB which semi officially supports ECC? I usually use AMD CPUs for servers, but any AMD CPU with build-in video does not support ECC.

And just to prevent ECC holy wars - I need ECC. :-) And adding GPU to AMD system is an option but I'm trying to avoid it.

 

Unless you are missed the news. Bug found in OpenZFS causing data corruption, FreeBSD, Linux and illumos are all affected.

Good description of the bug

Some good news from bug tracker on OpenZFS

OpenZFS 2.2.2 and 2.1.14 released with fix in place. If you don't get your OpenZFS direct from here, point your vendor at it.

Patch your systems!!
