Would you be willing to do one video on nftables? I guess nftables are not supposed to be written from scratch but on small networks/homelab situations, I find it useful, although tricky at times. Thanks!
I never personally use 2Us because of the fans are so damn loud.
I've got some rack servers, but currently my Proxmox flagship is a (£350) HP Z840 128GB of ram and dual E5-2697 V3 CPUs, but not every service need to run on a monster power sucking device. For these I'm using Fujitsu S720 and S920 repurposed thin clients as mini-servers, which sip minimal power. Small, passively cooled and cheap to buy, £20 to £25 for a S720, £30 to £45 for a S920. The S920 has a handy pcie slot. They're old, but affordable and still useful.
Where I live in the UK, the wind is predominately off the north Atlantic. The short summers are mainly in the 60F to 70F range, winters are long and bitter. The little bit heat off the Xeons is really welcome then.
thx Scott and yes mini pcs are great. You can buy some n100 mini pcs at 120$ with 2.5 Gb/s ethernet port 🙂
i'd rather buy a couple of sub £100 dollar used mini pc's then one of the newer mini pc's with unkown longevity, for the same price
Then max out the cpu/memory with cheap used parts, and then cluster them for redundancy, perfect for home labs
My current go to is HP elitedesk 800 g3 mini, cheap to upgrade to 32gb memory and cheap second hand cpu upgrade
Sorry, might have missed – have you reviewed mesh selfhosted vpn like nebula or netbird?
