Just over a year ago I bought a 5950x on sale and with the help of some spare parts, and some great second hand deals I put together a Proxmox machine and began self hosting some services. 1 year later I have 4 Proxmox nodes; a 5900x system in the Rosewill rackmount case and 2 Beelink mini pc’s....
It seems good based on the price of just the CPU. If it’s good, what kind of server case would it need?
I’m trying to free up my Pi 3b which is overkill for a PiHole with Unbound DNS and am looking to try something other than a pi zero. What are your recommendations! A few brands that come to mind are LibreComputer, NanoPi, BananaPi, and OrangePi. Bonus points if it’s possible to set up with POE!...
Does lemmy have an even remotely thriving version of r/homelabsales?...
I’ve been using a sound bar from Sonos with my TV for several years now, but in an effort to ditch the last appliances that unnecessarily require accounts and internet access, I am looking to ditch it in favor of something that is entirely contained within my own network....
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)....
Btrfs gets a bad rap sometimes but I have been using it for years and it works very well. It is able to take failing hardware and power outages and still has good performance.
Got these two servers for free, they are pretty fun and nice to use!

I’ve been running a full tower Windows server with a dozen drives for a decade and decided to downsize. This ministack does everything I need at a fraction of the power, noise, and heat....
Currently, I am have a VMware vCenter 7 4 node cluster. These are the Lenovo m920q machines with 64GB RAM each. I also have a Synology 4 Disk NAS too....
For the last 6 months or so I’ve been working on Pinepods. I have never been able to find the perfect self-hosted podcast app that I wanted to use. podgrab’s player is rather lackluster and misses a lot of features that I would like....
Just cleaned out mt garage, closet, and attic. No clue why I kept every single box of anything electronic/tech based in the last ten years. I just tossed boxes for phones I haven’t had in years, old CPU and heat sync boxes, boxes for 100mbps nics, old modems I don’t have anymore. I’ve never needed any of these and have...

Hi all, first time posting for tech support on lemmy!...
I previously (and sort of still do) ran my homelab on a Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB of RAM. That lab still exists but I recently picked up an Orange Pi 5B with 8GB of RAM and have been building out my services from scratch....
I currently pay 70$ a month for residential 50/50 Ziply fiber internet in Oregon. On the ziply website it says it would be 50$ a month for 100/100 small business fiber. Would that let me get a static IP, port 25 unblocked and reverse dns? Are there any strings attached as it seems strange for small business internet to be...
Hello there!...
I’m buying a Cat 6 cable. I have two available choices. One has fire rating “CM”, and the other has Euroclass rating “Eca”. Which one is more fire resistant? I was not able to find an equivalence table. Is “CM” comparable to “Eca”?
So I posted not too long ago that I had a drive failure in my RaidZ pool. Ordered a replacement disk (WD RED, purpose built for NAS), and tried resilvering only to see this after a short while…...
Does anyone else have a Turbo Button™ on their router? My wifi router is in essentially attic space with no AC so it gets hot and acts up with connectivity issues. My turbo mode solves the problem.

I am looking into building a new NAS to replace my aging current one. I want to go self-built with focus on low power consumption and silence. It will run FreeBSD on bare-metal. Data disks are planned to be SSD with ZFS....
Hi all. Just learned about NixOS a few weeks ago. I’m in the process of migrating several of my docker services to a new server that will have proxmox installed as the host and then a VM for docker....
