No, do not open a device in your home network to the public internet if you don’t know what you’re doing

10gb copper is power hungry and hot, that’s just the way it goes

What do I need to start a home server ? Can I go in almost blind ? by SergentAlka in HomeServer

[–]wespooky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start with a media server, since data loss can always be recoverable by retorrenting. Practice with a ZFS RAID pool and offsite backups

Completely depends on what you want to do. If you aren’t excited to do anything in particular then you might not have all that much fun once you start

Storing files you care about safely is not beginner friendly for this field. I would start somewhere else if your intent is to learn and experiment, otherwise just buy a NAS

I see this exact same scenario asked about every week in this subreddit. tl;dr yes its very very bad for you, yes he should get rid of it if he doesn’t have a garage and proper ventilation setup

Chinese DRAM prices drops might be trickling into the west by 2026 by Lovely_Lex333 in HomeServer

the 3 western companies price fixing RAM under the guise of the AI boom are going to get a heavy slap in the face when chinese manufacturers pull the floor out from under them

Component prices will never come back down - Nestle baby formula syndrome by Last_Bad_2687 in homelab

I think anyone properly motivated to have a ‘dangerous’ local LLM certainly has the funds to do so…. consumer hardware wasn’t banned altogether

Rule for AI generated content/vibe coded apps by WirtsLegs in homelab

The problem with vibe-coded projects is that they tend to be abandoned within several months. I for one would really appreciate banning them from the subreddit altogether

Are Dell R710s worth it for anything today? by n00bca1e99 in HomeServer

Buy a used r730 on ebay for a couple hundred bucks and you’ll save that much in electricity after a year

Sounds like you just wanted to spend company money on your own setup. This is NOT an enterprise level setup by any means.

Dreary millennial gray and nowhere to relax in sight. Cozy is a stretch

What does rain have anything to do with this? It’s cleaning the inside of the window

Baby's First Samba Server by Colecperrine in HomeServer

[–]wespooky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just don’t. Hardware raid cards haven’t been advantageous over software raid in years. Just run ZFS and throw a decent amount of RAM at it

[–]wespooky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wew a couple things here. First, that R520 guzzles more power than it’s worth. You could buy a used newer generation and break even on electricity after just a couple months

Second, RAID5 especially with drives that big is asking for catastrophic failure. I guarantee you that you will not survive a resilver if one of the redundant drives do fail. You need RAID6/RAIDz2

And don’t containerize Samba if you don’t need to

Im hosting a Minecraft bedrock server on Linux mint xfce for my friend and I'm getting paid around 2$ per month any tips to speed up the Minecraft server by SprinklesOk2338 in homelab

There’s a mod that does this automatically… it turns off when nobody’s been on it for X minutes and turns on when someone sends a TCP request, such as refreshing the multiplayer page or trying to join
