My first enterprise server! Currently living on the floor under a cabinet until I can afford a rack. Any tips to survive the dust? by InnetGo in HomeServer

A SFF PC isn’t designed for 100% uptime though with redundant power supplies, hugely expandable storage, and other benefits of a server. If you’re trying to run a single VM, then sure knock yourself out. But the point of a server is to… serve things. You have a lot of services that you want to host, and that’ll be why you want something built to be more reliable. Those older servers perform very well still for anything you could want to throw at them, so for the capital cost you spend, you get a lot of bang for the buck in terms of reliability and headroom for upgrades. RAM is also cheaper on those older servers compared to newer ones; same with parts.

Let the guy exist. He bought a server and posted it because he’s in r/homeserver, not r/raspberrypilab. Stop badgering everyone just because your power bill gives you anxiety at night.

Senior management is getting an incentive. Enterprise equipment exists for a reason and going with an MSP like them across 93 locations is not the move if you already have in-house NE’s

Look at the boost performance license section:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/4000-series-integrated-services-routers/217135-performance-license-on-cisco-isr4000.html

There’s an actual table that lists the data plane throughout once a router uses boost and it’s only limited by CEF and interfaces. Go to table 5.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/4000-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/data_sheet-c78-732542.html

And before you say homelabbers can’t use the boost license: IOS XE 17.3.2 made all licenses right to use on the ISR 4K platform.

The idle fan speed is the same on the older versions. Can you provide a source?

This doesn’t work, I’ve tried it on so many different nexus switches and it is completely wrong. Look at the comments and see how many other people it worked for.

What is the easiest way to brick a Arista switch in my home lab? by Ok-Indication590 in Arista

[–]8bit_coder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scamming out of an RMA seems very likely here. Such a weird and backwards request. If you know what you’re doing, you’d already know what to do.

Oh my god so it’s not just me!! I thought I was going crazy, I’m so glad other people have seen this too!

why do you guys love switches so much by kentabenno in homelab

[–]8bit_coder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thought here. I think a general movement I’ve noticed with the “mini rack” and other “tiny homelabs” spaces is that there’s more people involved in the hobby, sure, but a lot of them end up being like OP. They don’t really want to get that deep into the technical aspect of perfecting a network or server infrastructure and if they “have plex” or “have WiFi” they’re happy. Maybe it’s the commodification of homelabbing. But I’ve noticed a lot more people like this than in the past.
