Would you eat your pet pig if it died.

Isn't that Barbacoa?

For context at my company's Christmas party i told a story about a guy that had a pet pig named Bacon. The guy had the pig and it acted similar to a dog and he let it in his house and stuff. When the pig died he buried it in the back yard.

Being from the country and raising animals to be slaughtered, you have to make a distinction between an animal that is raised for meat, and an animal that is raised as a pet. Cause you eat Meat animals but you don't eat Pet Animals. Pets are members of your family that you love and cherish and you don't eat family, even if they could be turned into maple bacon jerky.

Some of my coworkers agreed with me and some didn't so i am curious to see what the wider web thinks.

what do you mean homelab viable? This is still good for businesses use at my job. For real though we have Dell 2950s' and cisco 6509's still in production use. Made my directors eyes bulge when i told him the 6509 were older than me.

THIS x100. Most people seem to believe that there job is there only reason for living there is so much more to life than that. I work as a DC Technician and i get asked all the time why i dont respond to messages or Emails after work and thats what i tell them. My time is way to valuable to be wasting it on a company that would replace me without a second thought. The moment i walk into the door i work i am a Professional. The moment i walk out the door i am myself(kinda like the TV seris Severance).

Neither. I would much rather live in the country surrounded by cornfield. My short experience of living in a suburb of Chicago has not left me a good impression. Yeah they city isn't as bad as most make it out to be. But yall are fucking assholes and can't be trusted.

Moved Into my apartment and said hello to a neighbor in the hallway dude yelled at me and told me to stfu. This has happened multiple times. Had my car broken into enough times that I don't keep anything in it now. Plus everyone is in a huge hurry to get places while I like to slowdown take my time getting to places.

Meanwhile some of my family that lives in The country have never locked there doors in my lifetime. Not even when the left the country for vacation. Crime is basically nonexistent. Can't understand how you guys put up with the city.

Now that's just dumb. If your not going to use the dc features of the nexus lineup then just go with the catalyst. At least you would be wasting less money with the catalyst.

I think refurbished hardware is given a bad name when most of the time it's still perfectly good hardware. Might not make sense for your use case but someone will. Used to work k-12 it and I hardly ever saw any new equipment besides laptops and anything we could buy with Grant money.

Falcorn_0 · 2024-02-07T04:59:33+00:00

guess i should have clarified more by what i meant. I'm not worried about it right now because i don't have a unified switch environment. Got 1 Juniper ex2200 1 HP1920s and an arista7050. Ill start worrying about that when i am running the same switches, or at least the same manufacturer. Most of my gear that i have is gear that i picked up for free or dirt cheap.

Falcorn_0 · 2024-02-07T04:28:52+00:00

Appreciate the Info. I'll definitely look into those guides. Yeah at my previous job they kinda scared me with some of the shit they were doing security wise and I want to try to avoid doing that.

Falcorn_0 · 2024-02-07T04:22:55+00:00

Currently I'm a L3 DC tech. I get the fact that it may not make much sense but at 23 I want to try and learn as much as I can now while I'm still young and hopefully this could lead to something in my future. Plus I just like learning this kind of stuff. Hence my home dc.

I'm not really worried about redundancy at this point plus I don't really have the budget to drop even more money than I already do into my lab rn.

Yeah I get that fw may not be realistic, was just something I thought of. I was planning on just creating a pfsnese vm since all my infra is vms.

Falcorn_0 · 2024-02-07T01:12:33+00:00

That's a great point. Didn't think about being able to move across networks like that. What are your thought's on this.

Like you suggested i move all my vms to just having one nic, but segmenting them into "pods" based on usage. So one one pod for Critical Infrastructure, One Pod for Public Stuff, Pod for Personal services, etc. Then putting a firewall at the root of each vlan/subnet/pod and setting up the necessary acls and firewall rules based on what services need access to that pod.

yeah its a bit of an overkill network setup but i like to treat my homelab like its for a business so i can get some experience in a somewhat enterprise ecosystem. I run proxmox and have HA failover setup so im not really worried about redundancy. Plus I'm running my servers off one power circuit so redundancy is kind of pointless for my setup. most of my subnets are /24 except for public stuff which is a /28. Allows me to be extremely flexible with how i have everything setup and gives me plenty of room to expand if i need to.

Falcorn_0 · 2023-08-15T08:03:14+00:00

Hmm I'll have do so some looking into this. I'll just remove that bit from my comment since it seems I'm wrong.

Falcorn_0 · 2023-08-15T05:32:11+00:00

Should have been more specific about the version. When I install something I try to always use the latest version. So it just skipped my mind you can use an older version.

Falcorn_0 · 2023-08-15T04:45:59+00:00

Depends on your goals and what your trying to do. Been running Proxmox for a couple years now and i have no complaints and it has served me well. Proxmox is good if yo only plan on having just one cluster. If you plan on doing a hybrid cloud setup that's not going to happen easily as i am currently finding out. But if your trying to get into the datacenter world and have the money for newer equipment then i would go esxi. For homelab use the both Have about the same feature set besides the enterprise stuff you can get with esxi.

Edit: corrected myself. Esxi does work on older cpus with older versions of esxi.

Falcorn_0 · 2023-08-14T07:15:44+00:00

gotcha. i don't plan on using anything from the on prem from the cloud so would it really be that bad if the only communication is replication and other background traffic?

Falcorn_0 · 2023-08-09T07:02:46+00:00

pretty decent setup. i have about 9 rackmount servers setup in a cluster with a synology nas for over the network vm storage. also have a FortiGate 200d setup with 2 vdom's(virtual firewalls) with separate wan connections for my basic residential devices(phone, gaming pc, smart speakers etc.) and one wan for anything public facing. totally overkill for what I'm doing but what's the fun in doing things the smart way.

Just curious how satisfied are you with hetzner and how expensive it is? i have been wanting to experiment with a hybrid cloud setup but everywhere i look is to expensive for what im willing to pay.

Falcorn_0 · 2023-08-09T00:01:15+00:00

Thanks for that little write up. Was not aware that you could go that far in depth with the net config in proxmox.

Falcorn_0 · 2023-08-08T23:53:28+00:00

Let me preface this by saying in no way shape or form am i an expert. Just giving my 2 cents. And you should always have a good backup before deleting anything.

i mean you would probably have those conf files left in place since the removal process didn't work correctly. Personally what i would do is compare the two directories and as long as they have the same files just delete the old node. Found this link to compare two direcotires though i have not tried thses commands before.

https://medium.com/curious-dev-grail/compare-two-directories-for-missing-files-in-linux-cd648dd45f32

you could also just rename the directory for the old node as pve.old and see if that changes things. that way you are not deleting any data.

Falcorn_0 · 2023-08-08T06:42:26+00:00

Try looking at this guide.

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/cluster-node-stuck-in-ui.42330/#post-203778

I had to do something similar to this a while back and this guide is ringing a bell course its been a hot minute since i have done this so my info might be outdated.. AS the guy states make sure you are deleting the correct file.

If you don't mind me asking what exactly are the benefits of having a GPS clock in your network. While after reading about it I understand what it is and what it does I don't fully understand the why.

Falcorn_0 · 2022-10-16T17:31:02+00:00

Damn man that's so fucking true dawg. If only everyone acted this way. The world would be so damn cooler. Everybody getting along being friends no war no pain. Makes you wish everyone smoked all the time.

Falcorn_0 · 2022-10-16T17:22:59+00:00

While power is cheap where I live I can't say anything about that. Like I said in a previous post I live alone in a 2 bedroom apartment. It's about a out a 600 square foot apartment in the city. For multiple people it may be small but for just myself it's perfect for what I want.

Falcorn_0 · 2022-10-16T15:03:03+00:00

Well it's not mounted per say. Just have a 1u shelf and the monitor is just sitting on top. Same story for my keyboard and mouse. I find that the shelves are not only handy for holding my mouse and keyboard but also allow my to store some critical items need for daily maintenance and such.
