Aren't you scared about loosing your data? in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] DarkKnyt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I store my documents in a 3 disk raid 5, which is backed up to a brand new NAS red, which is backed up to a 8TB external via Borg, and finally to my 1 TB OneDrive via rclone.

So at this point, no...

What's the power output of all your hardware?

Router recommendation in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] DarkKnyt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not a great forum for this answer or you should specify how much traffic you are pushing on your self hosted, home network and whether or not you expect to use the routers tunneling.

That said, I'm a fan of the glinet stuff having used the mango and opal. But for any serious hosting you'll need more than the ports provided on those travel routers.

Which would be better, an I3-9100F (4 core) or a Ryzen 5 1600 (6 core) for a homelab in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

If you're going to use this for a hypervisor then definitely the six cores. If you had at least six cores then I would say you want to go with the higher single core performance especially if you do stuff like compiling.

So I got ipfs running tonight. For those unfamiliar, it's a distributed file system but isn't really searchable. The point is that your website, service, or content is spread out so it "can't" disappear. If you want to self hosted this, details are at https://docs.ipfs.tech/ . I installed kubo from the *.deb file and went straight to the webgui.

I originally wanted to help serve some government sites that are known to be ddos but couldn't find the CID.

So I archives and posted the next best thing: phrack.org

So if you want to try it out and help save a site, you should be able to use this CID (I think)

For those that know more than me:

  1. Is there any risk to posting the CID like I did? Like can someone change my add to include malware?
  2. How does publishing to ipns make it easier for people to find?
  3. Is the only real option posting the CID or making dnslink connections to http?

Just storage Linux ISOs right?

But for dual P40, that's pretty good. AI/ML rig?

10g copper? I hear that takes a lot of power.

I'm in the same boat regarding older hardware. It wasn't free but it was about the same cost as 2 or 4 mini PCs but has a lot of room for additions. I don't think I'll ever get a rack but full towers with expansion will probably be my approach for years to come.

We often talk about idle performance but in research, we often say performance for what?

Not very scientific but in this poll, here are some ground 'rules' please comment about your specific setup or other considerations I didn't think of. Why not number of services? I think it's not a good comparison because one service could be much bigger than another and often it doesn't make a difference. I just started my kasm lxc and it idle, there was no change in power since I have so much idle CPU and it uses the host kernel.

  1. Raw online terabytes; zfs and raid reduce total storage but the setups too numberous to compensate for. If it's a cold/hot spare it doesn't count.
  2. Do include any storage running on a NAS or other devices, just like you would pcie disk controllers or system fans. The main point is that it is available to read/write to over your network or locally.
  3. Do include any system hardware that's just there on idle. In my case I have two dGPUs doing different things, the smaller one of which is always active because of frigate...
  4. Do include your minimum idle services, whether it's on a rack server, tower, or Synology container for example. Things like portainer, adguard, pinhole, proxmox backup server, immich. Don't include, if you can spare the downtime, any VMs that you interact directly with (in my case a windows 11 gaming VM). Since we aren't going for perfect accuracy z don't worry about making your services busy or idle (like a queued yt-dlp download but all the background *are stuff counts).

Ok that's it, looking forward to the poll results and discussion! It'd make the poll too complicated but it'd be interesting to see how professional server racks compare to small modular labs in economy of scale terms.

Oh, an older post sort of talks about this but not really. And the German lowest idle spreadsheet doesn't really capture the raw TBs and has a different objective compared to real world use IMO.
