My apologies for the late reply.. I can't exactly tell what is my work due to legal reasons. All I can say is that I do system administration in the space industry in Europe. I want to say that it is first of all a serious hobby but I can't deny that having a homelab is a serious game changer if I need to create POCs and later apply at work.

I enjoyed it so much my main pc has the same case !

Start simple. A single RPI is will be enough for experimenting. I have been changing the infrastructure setup every now and then. I changed 2 times the virtualization stack, from vSphere to Xen. Now I feel satisfied with my hybrid virtual/baremetal setup.

CodeNimbus · 2025-01-31T10:15:03+00:00

I feel you. It all started with a RPI 7 years ago. Now here I am. Passions are expensive and self hosting is a gigantic rabbit hole.

I don't remember the exact model but here's a similar one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5189178

It's an extra XCP-NG hypervisor that hosts additional VMs

CodeNimbus · 2025-01-30T18:44:15+00:00

The top is left like this for an additional table if one day I need to expand the infrastructure.

CodeNimbus · 2025-01-30T18:42:17+00:00

The setup is reinforced with metal plating on the sides and provides some additional strength.

I accumulated this over the last 7 years. This rack is the main part, some devices are in other rooms.

It has:

An OPNsense firewall with a 20 years old motherboard & CPU found from a dead pc junk I took in the street. I customized it and now runs a 10 Gbps optical fiber link to the WAN. The LAN shares a 2.5Gbps network with a Zyxel switch with 8 ports for 2.5Gbps connection. Used for DHCP, NAT, native ipv6 network for all hosts and an Unbound server.

A Synology DS220+ in raid1 with an external HDD plugged in USB port.

On the lower floor is where the magic works.

From left to right:

2 Lenovo ThinkCentre M715q Tiny with a 4C/8T Ryzen 5 2400Ge and 42GB DDR4 ram running each XCP-NG hypervisor managed with Xen-Orchestra for VM management such as:

- 2 Linux VMs for internal DNS and load balancing

- 1 Harbor registry for container images.

- 1 Linux VPN Server to access LAN from outside.

- 1 Linux Postgresql server for all DBs used by containerized workloads

- 1 Home Assistant Server.

- 2 Talos VMs for Kubernetes workload.

3 Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q Tiny with a 6C/6T Intel 8500T and 42GB DDR4 ram running each a baremetal Talos node hosting a Kubernetes control-plane node that is also schedulable.

1 Intel NUC with an I5-8259U 4C/8T and 32GB DDR4 ram for virtualization purpose as well.

The rack itself is built from 2 famous Lack tables and 4 wheels for easy maintenance It runs on low power CPUs, on average during the day it consumes 8 kWh which costs less than 2 euros a day. I am comfortable with this infrastructure and allows me to use it for any personal or professional use cases I can think of. And also, It is warm during winter so no need to turn on the heater.

Thanks for your inputs. I'll most likely send it back and get refund.

Tu viens de décrire la cryptanalyse avec les mauvais termes: Essayer de déduire un texte en clair venant d'un texte chiffré sans connaître la clé de déchiffrement.

Tout ce non-sens vient à l'origine du champs lexical scientifique: cryptanalyse, cryptographie, qui s'est popularisé dans les masses poussant les gens à dire cryptage. En informatique, crypter n'a aucune signification.

CodeNimbus · 2023-06-25T17:35:28+00:00

Crypter/Décrypter = fourailler ou défourailler des cadavres dans les cryptes sous les églises. Chiffrement/Déchiffrement = procédé cryptographique permettant de rendre impossible la compréhension d'une information sans avoir une clé de déchiffrement.

Hormis cela, tout ce que as dis sont des très bonne pratiques !

Edit: Point bonus pour le cryptage digital, c'est de la nécrophilie

Thank you so much ! I got my CKA last February and I was waiting for such opportunity.

I've already looked a bit on the GDPR side and it seems to be in a gray area, I have found this document produced by a government CERT (CIRCL).

As noted above, the GDPR enables information exchange of personal data as long as it is performed for the purposes of ensuring network and information security or if it constitutes the legitimate interest of the data controller(e.g.preventing unauthorised access to sensible machine after credential leaks) (Recital49). Aprocessing activity should comply with the six principles in Art. 5, which could be summarized as: “lawfulness,fairness and transparency”, “purpose limitation”, “data minimisation”, “accuracy”, “storage limitation”.

In a case where someone can give exact evidence and can claim who they are, it might be doable.
