With PubKey and Fail2Ban its probably ok but wouldnt chance it personally. Can you use a different port too?

321 rule - anything super critical also gets off-sited to the cloud.

All of the above. + Archival

Law suit evidence, payslip/tax stuff and car service history are my main 3

Hi all

For the last 10 or so years, I have been running rack mount servers in my homelab with hardware RAID and ESXI.

Because of noise space power etc, I was planning to migrate to a single ATX box. This means id likely be running 13/14th Gen Intel.

Given ESXIs lack of support for software raid and efficiency cores, I feel its finally time to move to an alternative. A good 75% of my workload at this point is containerized, but I do still need a handful of VMs. Id also really like NVME RAID 1 if possible.

Im not against ZFS, but I have ZERO hands on experience with it so not sure if id want to go all in with no prior experience. I have tried proxmox before and find the UI hateful, so id rather steer clear.

What would be my best option other than rawdog Debian + MD raid?

Too bloated, too unstable, too insecure.

Will just reboot all the time and whore memory. Way more susceptible to malware.

Couple of tools ive wanted

  1. Proper car service history tracking thing that allows you to create a vehicle, then log services/repairs/consumables with dates, prices, locations, maybe even upload the invoices etc. Bonus points if it can generate a PDF service report for when its time to sell the car. Could also integrate chosen service intervals etc so you can view what milages things are next due. I did see hammond but it feels more operational cost logging focused (eg fuel expenses)

  1. A computer bench marking system where you can create a configuration, add a benchmark type, then record the benchmark results. This could then make pretty graphs etc to compare different configurations/benchmarks

Would guestimate the PC (with no GPU) to pull maybe 100w assuming an average load of 20 ish percent. - 40 of this would come from drives (about 10w each).

This would be about 2.4kwh/day or in the UK, around £0.70 on a cheap tariff (or £255 a year). Obviously these figures vary massively depending on power cost per kwh in your region

Sounds like a 24port none poe is the one for me then! Thats only 10w more than the mikrotik

Hi all

A year ago I replaced my Juniper EX4200 48T for a Mikrotik CSS326-24G-2S+ as it was silent and used a fraction of the power (12w vs around 300w!).

Unfortunately, the 10Gb performance on the Mikrotik has always been weak and its pretty much died after about a year.

Any suggestions for a rack mount switch that has 24/48 gigabit ports, 2-4 10Gb SFP+ ports and isnt super noisy? - Brand new cheap end or used ebay enterprise is fine.

ICX 6450-48P maybe looking like my best option so far?
