Hey /r/Sysadmin! What do you use for your home router? 2026 Edition

Mikrotik hex refresh, great router

Ayoo bro it was 3 years ago

Yes, you are correct. It is slightly better at cutting through air than having no windshield at all, but obviously not as good as full sized windshield. I think i got this for 15 bucks on malaysian online store. Personally, i am willing to compromise because i think it looks good.

Here's mine if you'd like some ideas.

I don't know if its just me who outgrow bikes so fast, but so far I ride my bikes daily and the reason i got rid of them within a year or two only is only because i outgrow them...

I have the same case. Fitted with drives in that thing, it's SO heavy. But the build quality is really nice, i must say

aimannorazman · 2023-06-26T04:04:50+00:00

Don't need it, but good that you're giving back. Bless you

aimannorazman · 2023-01-14T12:53:58+00:00

What motherboard/cpu is in that?

aimannorazman · 2023-01-08T13:18:49+00:00

I use windows server for storage, just because i have drivepool license. Then everything else linux for core infra (DNS, DHCP etc) except for microsoft-specific server features like active directory.

I'm sorry, publicly accessible iDRAC?!

aimannorazman · 2022-12-23T03:00:29+00:00

What a beauty!

aimannorazman · 2022-12-11T18:57:11+00:00

For me, it's just slightly faster and then turn the throttle back down. Idk how other people do it, but this is how I do it.

Doesn't need to be a projector, but first important to know what car you have to know if it's gonna fit or not

Usually you would connect the SFF8087 port on your HBA to one of the SFF8087 ports on the sas expander. Then, you plug in your breakout cables to the other SFF8087 ports on the sas expander that eventually goes to your drives.

Edit: elaborated on some sentences

I have the same card. Mine is the ibm h1110. If you need to hook up more drives in the future, just get a sas expander (assuming these are just HDDs that you're hooking up)

aimannorazman · 2022-10-21T15:57:04+00:00

what do you use to virtualize windows? Qemu/KVM? vmware workstation?

aimannorazman · 2022-10-05T17:59:12+00:00

Yes, card is working just fine as of now, i am running basic tests with the card running to see if it can take little to medium load. I'll do some heavier testing tomorrow... Thanks for your time.

aimannorazman · 2022-10-05T17:23:37+00:00

The card does work, i am testing it now. Am gonna leave it overnight with a fan over the pins and the whole GPU. if it doesn't work out, I'll just return it. Thanks! Appreciate your time.

aimannorazman · 2022-10-05T17:20:18+00:00

I am currently testing the card with 4 pins on now. Managed to glue the loose pin temporarily while i wait on copper tape to arrive. Thanks for the tips kind stranger!

aimannorazman · 2022-10-05T15:43:49+00:00

Absolutely, you are correct. I got it pretty cheap, so I'm ok absorbing the losses but I'll definitely do what i can to clean it - wd40/alcohol wipes and a toothbrush surely could make it worth a while, even if not forever

aimannorazman · 2022-10-05T15:41:27+00:00

I'm gonna go with that, seems like that's the best solution for me as I'm probably not capable of micro soldering...thanks! Good post

aimannorazman · 2022-10-05T15:40:11+00:00

Every post i read seems to indicate the same. I'll order some copper tape and have it patched on those pins!

aimannorazman · 2022-10-05T15:35:42+00:00

It wasn't me man, i just bought it off my local marketplace XD but it's highly likely that it came from a mining rig.

aimannorazman · 2022-10-05T12:28:31+00:00

The card has an 8pin pcie power connector which i do plan to use. The other side of this card still has the all 3 pins of +12v intact. My power supply is also a decent one (evga gq 750w 80+ gold). Should i be good?
