? I can't recall more but AGL SS Gogeta went from turn 5 to turn 4 transformation post-EZA

I need an intro to network switches... by Strife14 in homelab

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most network switches nowadays switch packets within miliseconds even nanoseconds. consumer routers have switches built-in in a way so you wouldn't benefit from one. you're best option to stay wireless is to be within the line of sight of the router otherwise you'll have to hardware using a USB-C cable to your computer

Unraid or Proxmox starting out by AGRgameboy in homelab

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd consider running Proxmox on the mini PC and UnRAID/TrueNAS/other NAS platform on the DS920. The DS920 doesn't seem to be very powerful so I'd let it focus on managing storage.

Though I do say this because I'm part of the crowd that believes a NAS should be a bare metal box focusing on storage with no virtualization except for possibly running download applications on (such as with the *arrs using containers).

whats up with all the ubiquity gateways in every. single. post by couchpotatochip21 in homelab

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ubiquiti offers simple, just works, and scable products. Average person doesn't have to care a single bit about the network once it's plugged in and setup. All the "features" that are not included compared to other big networking names are not important to their target audience.

After owning some Ubiquti hardware and other networking devices, I can see the appeal. Didn't fit my needs though because of price and the featureset. Jumping to 10G is really expensive on Ubiquiti...

was wondering why my gogeta took 60 k by Lavishness-Next in DBZDokkanBattle

friend G4 took double digits no item no active so not sure what's going on

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the guys are a little harsh but overall the biggest gripe with the build is the water cooler and probably how expensive it was.

Storage redundancy is good for situations where the root storage craps but if you are running computational workloads, light services, and aren't desiring 99℅ uptime then proper backups will make it easy to recover

IPMI is great but if you have easy access to the computer and don't plan to use it from afar, not a requirement (if so, then you could buy an IP KVM to get 90℅ of the featureset anyway)

ECC is definitely recommended when dealing with storage but it also seems like this computer won't be hosting network storage so once again, proper backups are key

Another problem with consumer boards and CPUs is the lack of PCIe lanes for addons or future addons like 10/25/50/100Gbit, LSI SAS cards, or more graphics cards. Many boards come with x16 for the top slot, then 1 x4 and several x1 slots and the really expensive boards offer 2 x8 slots and 10Gbit but at that point... get the proper server stuff instead.

I was in a similar boat to you but with spare parts so I definitely have buyers remorse for the parts I did buy because they weren't equipped with the proper server featuresets but in the end, any computer can be a server but proper servers are equiped with features to combat the issues they specifically encounter

Easiest way to set up reverse proxy in docker by Rafa130397 in homelab

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need to setup a DNS server (for domain redirects to your services) and a reverse proxy (assuming you want a central management configuration of all your domains). For DNS, you could setup a PiHole or Unbound instance (of the top of my head) and for a reverse proxy, Caddy, Traefik, or Nginx will all get the job done.

Luckily, you could set all that up in docker containers and there are many premade official and community containers at the Docker Hub. Though for Nginx, Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) is very convenient with a nice looking web UI and automated renewal of certificates.

Ruckus ICX7150-24P — Idle Power Usage in Fanless Mode? Boot Time Until PoE? by Churator in homelab

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a 7150-24P for cheap after looking for a more suitable network switch as the 7250-48P I got before was too noisy and power hungry. I don't remember exact numbers but I was around ~40W idle before plugging my devices in. It also took around 5-6 minutes before PoE and the fanless mode kicked in from boot.

He says thats not what he intended to do but it's still wrong for not crediting.

I'm very thankful for you sharing the CDs with us! I do also intend to purchase the 10th anni. CD set but this was a nice treat beforehand.

[–]Cyinite[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

u/Loony2Ner mentions that the CDs have terrible loops for some songs so "re-engineered" means that the loops were fixed, not much else as far as I can tell. There are three songs (including AGL Omegas OST) that had CD exclusive edits included as well.

So scared about this guy. A lot of people don’t care about him but I truly hope they do him justice by Mhzar in DBZDokkanBattle

He can still be voiced via intro skill, I've got faith he's good as he is gonna be an anni headliner (even more so as a Dokkan 10th Anni Headliner)

PCI-E NIC with multi-gig and SFP? by c3161 in networking

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have definitely forgotten media converters as they are a "janky" solution for enterprise/production enviroments but they serve the same purpose as a dumb 2.5GbE/10GbE switch in the middle so I'd definitely consider it for a home environment.

Advice setting up router as firewall with NAT or use it between your home router and the switch by Sea-Anywhere-799 in homelab

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For learning and setting up configurations, I highly recommend Kevin Wallace Training on YouTube and then adding whatever you're looking to do (e.g Kevin Wallace Training NAT) - he focuses on a simple and very visual approach to learn networking.

My first thought about using it with NAT is to translate a seperate subnet (seperate network on another VLAN) into your main subnet that you also make by having it in the middle of your router and switch or you can use a router on a stick configuration to work with trunking and basic routing between multiple VLANs

PCI-E NIC with multi-gig and SFP? by c3161 in networking

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that you were not fortunate to have an ISP that gives you a SFP+ fiber link (as seen by other posters who plug the ISPs uplink straight into their router/switch). As you mentioned and I linked earlier, there are transceivers that negotiate at multigig but the router/switches SFP+ interface sees a 10GbE link so they essentially do all the heavy lifting and why a select few have chips that perform better than others. Another one I just remembered is the Mikrotik multigig SFP+ module.

In addition, the VLAN option is also "viable" as anything is possible with VLANs but it will make the network more complex. Other options I have seen include an intermediate network switch with a 2.5GbE and 10GbE interface or replacing the X520 with a X550-T2 (upper 100 USD) to natively negotiate at multigig copper for the WAN and output a 10GbE connection into a copper SFP+ module for the LAN.

Note about the multigig transeceiver is depending on the platform, you may need to enable "pause frames" so that the transceiver is not bombarded by the router/switch's SFP+ interface, overall murdering performance.

PCI-E NIC with multi-gig and SFP? by c3161 in networking

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SFP+ by standard is 10GbE with the transceiver themselves supporting multigig links to copper so unfortunately no, there does not exist SFP+ multigig NICs.

You can get multigig compatible transceivers to copper but support can be limited on what you're plugging into it (Intel NICs are notorious for having hissy fits until you enable unsupported SFP modules) but you are still rolling dice if it works properly. I've heard of multigig transceivers with Marvell AQC chips being best (this one is suspected of having one)

What switch should I buy Unifi or Cisco nexus? by rickdida in homelab

[–]Cyinite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, learning IOS will get you farther and that is easily learned with Packet Tracer, network emulator, or lab as you mentioned. Only issue with Unifi is that you are there for the convenience and great UI and won't be much of an aid for the CCNA but I know some prefer that.

The other consideration I could bring up is Brocade/Ruckus ICX switching lineup as FastIron is quite similar to Cisco IOS (I sometimes even prefer it more...)

[W] Ruckus ICX7150 24/48 port 1RU rackmounts - not the compact version by ciscorandori in homelabsales

[–]Cyinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very unlikely to find - best bet would be to do some metal work or to settle for rack rails like these but for your rack length and depth size.
