So I’m trying to build a router. Just need something to handle the networking in my house and the plan is to separate things out via virtual local area networks. Anyway, reading a bunch of threads and comments, I think my design will be something akin to this. Is this good or bad? Ultimately I wanna run OPNSense since that’s...

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....
Dear all, I have some questions for what I’m about to do with my HomeLab. I recently upgraded my connection to a 1000/1000 and the ISP sent me this shit ass router (Fastweb Nexxt) which is very locked down. I want to change it....
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 have a small client on the side that I am looking to get more durable off-site backups done. I personally use restic and resticprofile in my homelab without issue. The issue is that I would like to give them some kind of GUI and from what I see, none of the restic ones will do it....
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....
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...
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....
Some background: I have a Synology NAS already with plenty of space on it. It runs my Jellyfin server in a docker container. I also have a Raspberry Pi 3b running Pihole....
EDIT: It seems something is causing my wireguard hanshake to fail. I can’t find much on this particular error except “try rebooting the wg server”. I rebooted everything, and I can’t get it to connect unless the clients are already connected to the home wifi....
I’ve gone through this process a few times over the last week since trying out WireGuard, and for the most part it’s been seemless. There’s hiccups here or there, but normally just me misconfiguring my keys/ config file....
I recently upgraded my homelab core switch to a Mellanox SX 6012. It’s 12 ports of 40gb/s, and each can break out to 10gb/s. This switch also idles at 30 watts which was top of my list....
I have seen several cards that will do up to 4 NVMe from a single x16 slot (with MB and CPU that support bifurcation), but I have only found cards that are 1 PCIe slot to 1 M.2 A+E....
