I currently have several VLANS (management for network devices, iot for smart devices, infra for security cameras and NAS, one for personal devices, anothe for guests, etc....

Hey all,...

About a year go I bought one of those fanless four port routers. Ordered one with a celeron, they sent me one with an 11th gen i3. Since then, core temps will regularly spike to 100c and it will throttle. Took it apart and found this as a cooling solution, which I’m sure would work fine with a celeron, but they gave me an i3...

Am gizmo shopping and would like some smart door locks. Figured y’all might have some recommendations on things that play nice with Home Assistant if networked, and generally don’t suck....

I have a few VLANs, and in each one I basically have it organized like this:...

Hey!...

Hi, could you help me and recommend a good upgrade for my (dated) home server?...

I’m very new to home networking. I’m not new to computers (hardware or software) - but for whatever reason, anything network-related has always been an enigma to me....

Is PoE more efficient than plugging in adapters for each network device?...

I have a z800 that is now thoroughly obsolete, but really like the form factor (feels very sturdy, built in handles, drive trays are nice and solid, form factor stacks with other stuff nicely, built to handle hauling around without falling apart)....

I’m planning to buy Smart TVs for my house and I wanted to know which TV OS has better support for homelab media apps....

I thought would ask here (just joined the Lemmy world) but surely there must be a truenas community somewhere on the Lemmy world? Any Truenas users here?

So with Crypto mining being less profitable and miners selling their rigs for cheap I thought how can I get my self a cheap managed network switch. I saw mining motherboards with 12 PCIe 2.0 1x slots(4gbit bandwidth) and tought hey if I plug in some cheap 10g 2port network adapters I can make my own network switch with exactly...

The 10GBase-LR is 1310nm and the QSFP-40G-LR4 CWDM channels are 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm. Are the 1310nm and 3rd channel 1311nm technically compatible?...

I am doing some upgrades and a big part of that for me is aesthetics and future upgrades....

I have been thinking of completely going off Google. I have a Nextcloud server for documents and contacts and calendar. Thinking of moving mail away too. Currently I am conflicted between hosting my own email server. On searching only advice I am getting is not to do it....

I have a RS1221+ that I am trying to setup as a NUT client. I see that a lot of the packages are already installed for a server config, however that’s not what I’m looking for....

I am trying to figure out the optimal way to connect an 8 bay drive enclosure to a Dell Optiplex 7040 Micro. The end goal is to have the drives made available to a Proxmox cluster and kubernetes cluster. This is all for learning experience as well as to run services for personal use....

I have been playing with the NUT UPS utility, and have setup a NUT server on my Raspberry Pi....
