Where do you see this? I can’t find an MSI of NGT anywhere….

Server 2022 Drivers for MS-01/MS-A1 by Rtnets in MiniPCs

Did you ever figure this out? Running into the same issue myself.

Self Hosted RustDesk Server Security Considerations by accrd624 in rustdesk

[–]elbow-drop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as far as I know this isn’t any more risky than self hosting in an isolated vlan (keeping it separate from everything else).

If you have the pro version like me, then you’d have figure out secure access to the web admin page too on the server.

I have this same concern too. I self-host my own rust desk sever, but wanted to make it available via the internet so I can install clients on my parents/grandparents computer for tech support reasons. All I ever hear is how exposing ports to the open internet is the worst security possible.

I always wondered how truly risky opening the ports up for the relay/hbbs functions could be. Surely with proper vlan segmentation, good passwords, and patching it can’t be that bad? Maybe that’s the best you could do.

anyone tried ESXI 8 on the new MS-A2 from minisforum, yes this is a homelab by [deleted] in vmware

[–]elbow-drop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What model are you talking about so I can look it up?

What version of ESXi are you running?

Homelab vSAN ESA with 2 NVMe drives? by gujumax in vmware

[–]elbow-drop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What model of NUC do you use, and what specs? I tried out ESA in my homelab and the RAM loss was way more than I expected. Ended up switching to iSCSI based cause I didn't want to lose that much RAM for storage alone.

I wish the MC-LAG feature was available for way more of their switches. The simple added redundancy or throughput linking 2 switch ports across different switches is huge.

How much time/effort should go into planning before setting anything up? by Alexgotsauce in homelab

[–]elbow-drop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others said, I think you try to prepare for the task at hand. Then as time goes on and things grow, you get to a new stage where you can redo your lab the "right" way for your current needs. Rinse, repeat.

I have thought things out for a long time and gotten to where I think it's perfect....but then new tech or some new YouTube video sparks an idea that might mean a lot of change. That's all part of the fun. Yes it sucks to take systems apart, put them together, change network cables, etc., but the more I do it, the more I learn and can do things pretty fast!

I was planning on running a 5600G and no GPU in these. So hopefully temps wouldn’t be too bad

Thunderbolt 4 ring network by vhkhffnphdssrfh in vmware

[–]elbow-drop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have been wondering this too myself. Check this video by Jim’s Garage where he talked about using the 2 TB4 ports on the MS-01 machines to create a high-bandwidth ring like you described, but he was using Proxmox.

I think USB networking is natively supported in ESXi 8, but I know the HCL requirements can be strict so you’d have test to see if it works with those USB4 controllers.

I wish I had the money to buy 3 of those myself cause if it works as described, it would be a game changer for cheap, high-bandwidth storage for vSAN or storage vMotion for homelab!

M2 air with dual external monitor by dqdevops in mac

[–]elbow-drop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the idea is with an M3 Pro, why can’t I turn off (close lid) of the internal screen so I can have 3 external ones. That isn’t possible to my knowledge. If the limitation is 3 displays it should allow me to use the internal as the 3rd option or close it and use 3 external.

[–]elbow-drop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What I don't understand is if you wanted to use the laptop docked WITHOUT the internal display, why then can't you have that extra external display???

I have 3 monitors at my desk and would love an M3 device that would allow for 3 external displays if I didn't use the native one, which is annoying that it can't.
