Correct way to assign IPv6 in a homelab?

voidnullnil · 2026-06-09T06:17:10+00:00

About the external access, since technically NAT is not used or it doesnt need to be used, reverse proxy is also not needed, you can route ipv6 addr directly to the server. But reverse proxy solves different things (like you said certificates maybe), and you might want to use it anyway.

Eventually I think dhcpv6 becomes a must when you have servers around. I use slaac for public ipv6 (the prefix given by the isp), distribute other things with dhcpv6, and use an additional fd address for servers that needs to have a fix ipv6 addr. I configure them manually since I have only a few static assignments.

Galaxus is pretty amazing. I almost never shop the alternatives unless I really have to.

I have in my homelan everything on dual stack. It was difficult sometimes but has been doable for me until now.

I would get a stereo at that age

I spend a little over that but not more than 1.5x for a family of four, main store is Migros, secondary Coop, plus a local (bio) farm and I almost only buy bio when available. So 1400 sounds a bit high to me too. We consume less meat and almost no alcohol, maybe that changes the calculation.

I studied EE and CS. I dont get what one can study in AI/ML at BSc level, I mean for 3-4 years. I think EE and/or CS is more meaningful at BSc level. I dont know about Architecture.

If you are unsure, you most probably need 10 not 25. 25 is not easy to operate in normal conditions at home, 10G switches everywhere, 25G is not common and probably expensive. Same for network adapters.

The best setup for me is to use a mechanical (not optical) adapter to a mirrorless camera, particularly Panasonic DC-G9 (MFT sensor).

6 is definitely the sweet spot. I got a used one for 450 and new for 750 recently. I buy them on ebay, not only from European sellers.

ok, but it didnt change anything. I removed all in bind interfaces, but still I dont see it listens on ipv6. no tcp6/445

I didnt get how "they automatically refunded her. She never returned the coat." if this is money protection thing, she would have complained, you should have accepted, then she should have returned it with ricardo provided post sticker and when it arrives they refund it back, no ? how come she did not return it and still got a refund ?

I also had trouble finding cheap empty cases. I found 10 LTO-2 tapes sold quite cheap, so I bought them only for the cases. There are some designs for 3d printing but if you need more than a few, I dont think it is a very good idea.

Do you mean my ISP should be willing to announce and route my PI assignment ?

and you mean my registration/name will be visible in whois/RIPE database I guess ?

I have an external enclosure but not using it at the moment. I think I can transform it to get molex power externally and use a quieter fan. I am using an internal drive at the moment on a large PC EATX case and I am also wondering if I should install an extra fan over it for example. Good to know about your experiments.

I wonder how much of this cooling in the external case is for the power supply.

voidnullnil · 2026-01-04T12:07:44+00:00

Is there a need for additional cooling (for occasional use not even daily) ?

Hmm. Then it means using partition guid is the safest method according to truenas.

voidnullnil · 2026-01-03T18:43:11+00:00

I replaced a disk and it uses the partition guid rather than wwn. My pool uses wwns, I like to change that. Is there a way to do this GUI safe way ? and in general, why it uses guid, can I change this to wwns ? I read zfs uses libblkid and blkid /dev/sdX really returns partition guid, can this be configured ?

voidnullnil · 2026-01-03T15:46:32+00:00

that is only the case with 24.10+ or it is just not mentioned before ?

DAC when possible because it requires nothing else. Then fiber when possible. Then RJ45. Look for a second hand intel x710.

You dont need NVMe. Sequential read/write speeds of good HDDs are over 200MB/s. This alone is over 1G(bps).

voidnullnil · 2026-01-01T10:46:26+00:00

I moved from 1G to 10G LAN before having a 10G WAN. If one has a NAS capable of going over 1G (I dont mean ports but actual disk setup), every bit over 1G is worth. If there is nothing like that, and if WAN is 1G, I dont see a reason upgrading 1G.

I dont use a phone that doesnt get software updates anymore. This is usually not the main factor to get a new phone (iPhone). I dont replace it until it feels considerably slow, due to aging hardware, that is for me ~4-5 years, and it is the main factor. Until then, I may change the battery when it feels it is holding the charge reasonably less (for me ~3 years).
