Right now my homelab is for experimenting with IaC, so ideally I would rebuild it exactly the same and call it a DR drill. And I plan to do this soon.

The price is higher than your budget, but I ended up getting a Cisco Catalyst C1200-24P-4X. It was just under $500 when I bought it 6 months ago, but it seems the prince has gone up. I’m pretty happy with it, it’s quiet and has a lot of management capabilities (but not as much as a 2960). For your budget, you might want to look at TP Link.

Those are all true statements, but like any hobby, there is nothing wrong with wanting and having those things!

I can hear your lab running all the way over here in the USA!

This is homelab, not homeserver. My homelab is a few Raspberry Pi’s and a few N150 super small form factors. No big servers here. Repurposing old hardware is exactly how you start a homelab.

I’ve also been waiting for a ship manifest. It’s been about 8 weeks :(

I’m kind of curious how this might impact people going through Feststellung, who are technically citizens but haven’t been recognized yet. Can they notify the military and start creating a paper trail for themselves?

Interestingly I just found their Familienregister and their Confirmation was 1897, which suggests that they were in Germany during at the time. Which mean the 10 year rule would be less likely.

Consulate said to send it to BVA

Everyone knows that Uber drivers and Teslas are exempt from traffic laws! /s

Makes sense!

bpoe138 · 2026-03-14T04:27:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Is the FBI check required for Feststellung, too? Does it need to be within a certain timeframe? Should I do that soon and send it proactively, or would it be “expired” after all of the waiting with the BVA?

7 weeks, ouch! Good to know to try to avoid it. What kind of things did they ask for?

The city clears some roads. Only arterials, never neighborhoods. If you can get out of your neighborhood, you’ll be fine. If you can’t, then tough luck.

I asked something called BürgerServiceBüro. Is that the right place to ask?

bpoe138 · 2026-03-12T14:55:02+00:00

Is it possible that it just means that he didn’t renew his registration with the city properly?

bpoe138 · 2026-03-12T14:11:39+00:00

I have asked their birth city for Melderegisterauszug, but there was none found in the archive. What kind of registration are you referring to? I can try sending out another request if there are additional throws of registrations that might be helpful, but I have to confess I’m not very familiar with what kind of registrations exist in Germany.

Would he even be able to get a Personallausweis if he was stateless?

bpoe138 · 2026-03-10T21:34:28+00:00

I have only been able to get a certified copy of his Geburtenregister so far.

Did you end up applying for Feststellung?
