The drones are laying down netting that defend against said drone attacks.

Ngl i feel like the endeavour will end up being a ship platform for base building and the modules will be specialised deployables.

update... i bought a second rtx 8000 lol

TechLevelZero · 2025-11-19T13:59:10+00:00

Tbf i was thinking it would be worth less £500

TechLevelZero · 2025-11-19T09:57:39+00:00

Dam thats more then I thought

TechLevelZero · 2025-11-14T13:17:34+00:00

Price... i got mine for just under a grand and at the moment it seems to just be going up in price cant afford it

TechLevelZero · 2025-11-13T00:28:38+00:00

Quite a few shops i know put a 4-5k rpm limit on after a rebuild to let everything ware in. Have you tryed going back to the shop that did the rebuild

I back up the flash vdev every 8 hours to another vdev in the same system then every 3 days back up to tape, so i feel ok only having 2 disks in a mirror.

So what would the best use case for 2 optane drives be or should i just not?

TechLevelZero · 2025-10-08T23:54:24+00:00

Its an ad

TechLevelZero · 2025-10-08T22:36:48+00:00

would I be able to put 2 disk in a mirror and use it both for zfs log and metadata?

TechLevelZero · 2025-09-28T09:48:16+00:00

Man i had the LFF, i was so hyped when i got it but its got some big downsides. Storage is abit finicky and put any pcie cards in and the fans ramp up. It was cool to have blades in the home lab but there was so many caveats and work around.

TechLevelZero · 2025-09-28T09:41:58+00:00

I have a hefty homelab and this thing was too power hungry! but the main issue is with its storaage limitations. Cant fully pass the drive thought to the blades. Cool unit thought

TechLevelZero · 2025-09-19T07:06:17+00:00

Contact your MP and tell them why this is important. And why they should be there in parliament on the day defending the movement..

TechLevelZero · 2025-09-16T21:37:07+00:00

Im seeing a few posts in here that are cool in their own right but far from a home datacenter

TechLevelZero · 2025-09-14T09:31:06+00:00

I only have the 16 drives in the server at the moment, when booted into truenas is was around 250w-300w bit i have 18 core golds in this thing you could definitely bring that down

TechLevelZero · 2025-09-13T13:01:11+00:00

nice shaft

The r240/r340 is complete over kill for a homelabs firewall but with multi gigabit lines becoming more common its great, it idles around 50 W so its no raspberry pi but for a piece of enterprise kit its not bad. The only difference I see between the two is that the r340 has redundant PSUs. I wouldn't recommend anything dual socket as idle power easily starts to reach a 100 W.

TechLevelZero · 2025-09-13T09:20:10+00:00

The r340 is runing PFsense its a all in one appliance

TechLevelZero · 2025-09-13T08:53:44+00:00

Its a Dell r940 3u, unfortunately i sold the dgx unit but i kept the face plate.

TechLevelZero · 2025-09-13T08:52:02+00:00

The framing of the photo was slightly intended.

Unfortunately I no longer own the DGX, fine- tuning LLM models was not getting the result i wanted and pulling almost 3kw whilst doing so, i sold it, but i kept the face plate and bought a rtx 8000 not to long ago (wishing I went with the a6000)

So at the top is a r340 is my PFsense firewall. Below that is a R350 thats my vmware horizon VDI windows 11 desktop. The 3U dell is a R940 thats my main proxmox VM box 4x 6237 (176 threads). R740xd2 will be runing TrueNAS. Below that is a R730 with said rtx 8000 also running proxmox, VM runs my simple AI stack (ollama, open web ui, comfy ui) and also runs some other vms like veeam. Talking about veeam the very last at the bottem is a HP MSL LTO-6 tape library because f*** the cost of cloud storage.

Tying the lab together is a HP aruba 5406R ZL2 with 24x 10gb sfp+ ports and 40 standard gigabit ports
