>also check the datasheet on ICX 6610 there isn't a single SKU with 16x 10gb ports you retard
2 of the qsfp+ ports are 4x10gbe breakouts only (so 8 total for the breakouts)
>not only that, but flipping the 1gb SFP+ ports to 10g requires a license.
and the license is free to get by changing the router serial number in software. there are established ways to do this from the vendor, since the model is discontinued

This is consumer hardware stuff that should be discussed in >>>/g/pcbg/ but I get those are /v/ermins so let me give you some input.
Almost any intel-based computing device can be used for storing media (I had a Pentium II), that said, your build is overkill for just storage so in order to get a better input you must approach /hsg/ with a more server-software related question/inqury. Like:
>OS of choice
>Filesystem choice/issues
The list goes on and on.
Being honest I really wish we didn't have a lot of questions like "how's this build?" but more like "hey I got this cheap build and I'm about to try <cool distributed filesystem, idk>"

I wanna build a basic Plex server on a N100 with one HDD for storage. What's the smallest single-HDD PC case I can buy?

Why not ditch that garbage tier GPU and get something with integrated graphics like the 5600GT? 2 more cores, 4 more threads, and you're not going to be gaming on that shitty old GPU anyway.

Also, from PC Part Picker:
>Problem: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor and Kingston Server Premier 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL22 Memory are not compatible.
>Problem: Kingston Server Premier 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL22 Memory is ECC, but the ASRock B550M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard does not support ECC RAM.
So ditch the 32gb ram for $100 and get 32gb RAM for $50. You can either spend the extra $50 on something else or just pocket it.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, I'm a turbo midwit when it comes to anything network related and I literally can not find an answer online because all search engines like to do nowadays is look at a few keywords and spit back retarded reddit threads where half the comments are deleted.

I have a computer that I want to act as what I imagine is a "server", and I want that computer to connect to both a vpn AND my home network. My problem is that I keep seeing vague information that I'm not smart enough to parse about how it's dangerous to have a vpn/port forward while also doing shit locally because it can track you or open up your local ports or something? I genuinely have no idea. Ideally I want a completely average joe setup locally with zero vpn influence to do things like ssh, while certain applications like a web browser use the vpn and forwarded ports.

The problem I think would be if my router has say an open port 12345, and my vpn had an open port 12345, right? Is that kind of the only security concern I should be careful of if I want to have a vpn/forwarded ports only routing some internet trafic?

NTA, but I got rid of most of my rack and replaced it with Synology gear. I still host all my shit (web server, email server, webdav, caldav, carddav, et cetera) on my Synology and it doesn't take up a large footprint in my flat.

The only bit I didn't get rid of is my 3U because I'll be fucked if I'm paying the shipping fees for it and that's a problem when locally very few people want enterprise server hardware. So it'll probably end up going to a hacker space as a donation by the end of the year.

What I'll most likely end up doing once my current plex install cannot be updated anymore due to them (XI) killing support is just rolling out a small dedicated windows box w/plex installed on that. Windows is many things but least one thing good is that software support is pretty much locked in for least a decade on it. Also the ease of install of programs. As stated the only app I keep current is Plex. Trashing my current server and redoing it's configuration,etc over a single app would be nuts. Redoing all my Rsync tasks would be nuts to. Everything works fine as it is. Why fuck with it. This is why I've got a like/hate thing with XI. Plugins worked fine for ages. Then they moved to the charts catalog. Which hasn't been around long. Now they're dumping that for something else. Meanwhile you can install software on a windows computer fine and dandy that's 20 years old with little effort. My windows version of Kvatia and Calibre-web will still work in 20 years fine. Can't say the same thing about the other non windows versions of those same programs. Why keep them the same version? Simple. Epub is epub. Manga is manga. How much fucking improvements do you really need or expect? Just like Word. It is what it is. Office 2007 works fine for damn near everything still today.

Noctua jews says every cooler is incompatible with narrow ILM except those they recommend to you, but every cooler i have from Noctua came with a 20xx mounting kit.

>>101425888
look for Fujitsu boards

>>101425888
EUfag here too, ATX mobos are always expensive and hard to get, i could hardly find any in my country.
What i did is i bought a 2011-3 based workstation, whole system was cheaper than a 2011-3 mobo. Then upgraded to E5-2697A (16c 32t) and more RAM.
Of course that depends if you would be ok with given workstation chassis, most workstations have non-standard mobos and PSUs, so you can't easily throw them into ATX tower.
If you're interested here are some 2011-3 based workstations: Fujitsu Celsius M740n, HP Z440, Dell T5810, HP ML110 Gen9.
There are also those dodgy chink X99 motherboards, but i wouldn't go that way, they don't look very reliable.

I'm planning an upgrade from my tinyminimicro
leaning towards a consumer tower/ryzen build instead of something rack based

since the server will be running my VPN I won't be able to access anything outside of LAN when it's down so I figure IPMI is of limited usefulness

>low power consumption
without sacrificing ECC or too much expandability

>>101425962
>>101426043
I'd rather avoid OEM stuff, i might get a rack in the future and i'd pretty much prefer standardized components.
The only 2011-3 workstations available for cheap in my country are Dell T5810s that i can find for like 150 bucks without shipping for a bare bone system, sometimes i can find HP Z420s for like 100. Though, my biggest issue with prebuilt OEM workstations is RAM compatibility, 32-64GB RAM sticks might not work with these systems at all.
>There are also those dodgy chink X99 motherboards
I thought about these too but they don't support IOMMU and PCIe bifurcation, the options in the BIOS are bugged and never work out.

was going to build a NAS from the ground up but a second hand SYNOLOGY DS218 popped up for $200 which will be about half the price once it's including storage. Predominant use will be file storage, data backups etc with hopes to access the database from anywhere

I got my first taste of ipmi about a week ago. It really is nice. Much better than crawling under my desk to plug in an hdmi cable every time I need to do something directly.

Best single slot card for transcoding? There's a couple intel a40's on ebay but they're obscenely expensive. I could just as well watercool and have a single slot 3090 for those prices.

>>101426491
Both the PSU and power connectors are not standardized. The mobo sure would fit in a rack case, but the PSU won't and i don't want to deal with the potential house fires power adapters sometimes are.
Also, the CPU fan port is fully proprietary too and requires tinkering and OEM mobos sometimes only have 1-3 extra fan headers for the rest of the case, which for a rack is not enough, they are in weird positions for a rack case. Supermicro or any other brand puts all of them in the rightmost side of the mobo, next to where a rack fan would be mounted
The idea of buying an OEM cheap motherboard already crossed my mind but the HP Z420 is not compatible with PCIe bifurcation, but the more i read and watch videos about them the less i want OEM stuff

>fractal design node 304 has space for 6 drives
For a home backup solution (important personal documents and a media archive, max of 2 concurrent users), how dumb would it be to run raidz1 with 3 drives, and then mirror them for fault-tolerance?

A random ZFS calculator I found indicates it gives me 35 TB of practical storage space with 20TB drives, which is probably enough for the time being, and it's small enough I can grab a couple external HDDs for critical backups.
Downside is it'll be an all-mechanical system, so potentially loud and not very power-efficient, but hopefully having mirrors will help to mitigate the issue where the stress from resilvering kills your other drives.

Have I missed anything?

The Odroid-H4U has four SATA 6GB ports, so those could go over to regular 3.5" drives, but then it's no longer a compact little cube.

you are a hobbyist and not a network engineer, that much is clear. you aren't going to be able to enjoy any 40g because you dont even have the disk parallelism to make use of it. this is a very obvious thing for any network engineer because they have to at least casually understand subscription at more than just the NIC level.

this is before we discuss ASIC performance and routing/switching capacity. it has an 8mb packet buffer which is probably the most pathetic thing about the device. that alone would directly affect burst traffic for any 10g/40g you're trying to do. it's utterly pathetic in comparison, but you're probably hanging all your VLANs off a firewall in a bottlenecked ROAS configuration without any LACP whatsoever anywhere like a retard anyway.

They're great for small stuff like switches, routers, and so on. But they're very lightly built (those legs are not solid wood) so you aren't putting a big NAS in one.

ok i never deal w/ rackmount shit but why r there so many patch cables. what do they even do? surely u don't need one lil cable on the front of some box for each device in ur house.......what are they doing...

how much did you spend on your hardware and what requires so much (or few) money ?

>>101432114
if you run 2 ports to each room, plus cables for APs, CCTV cameras, anything else (e.g. speakers).

it's going to add up.

>>101432114
all of the room cables terminate in the patch panel
i also have the in rack devices going through the patch panel
having the 6 inch patch cords actually helps clean it up. the legit way to do with would be with cable management arms and velcro but i don't have the energy left in me to be that autistic

I'm on solar and have been looking for an SBC that I can install multiple NVMe drives into (I wanted to replace the Odroid H2 with something lower power and faster for Media Center - pretty sure the HD's dying).
Ended up going with FriendlyElec CM3588 (8GB). So far, it's okay.
The images are pretty easy to get going, but I would've liked if they had the latest Ubuntu 24.04 (only had 22.04).
Cases were a bit hard to find and I didn't want to 3D print because my prints always seem to fuck up (skill issue?).
So, I've just ordered one online instead, arriving start of next month.

That doesn't mean ECC memory support is working correctly on Ryzen processors, until you have tested with an UE yourself.
https://hardwarecanucks.com/cpu-motherboard/ecc-memory-amds-ryzen-deep-dive/5/
>So we have good news and we have bad news. The system had absolutely no problems detecting and correcting single-bit errors, otherwise known as soft errors. It corrected literally hundreds of single-bit soft errors without missing a beat. This is why people invest in an ECC-capable platform, so that corrected error (CE) events don’t corrupt any data and they don’t bring down the system. These single-bit errors are detected, corrected, and logged. Usually by the motherboard and operating system, but right now only by the operating system.
>HOWEVER, things are not quite perfect. On that last line you will notice “1 UE”. That is an uncorrected error (UE), otherwise known as a two-bit error or a hard error. Two-bit errors cannot be corrected by ECC memory. What is supposed to happen when they occur is that they should be detected, logged and ideally the system should be immediately halted. These are considered fatal errors and they can easily cause data corruption if the system is not quickly halted and/or rebooted. Regrettably, only 2 of the 3 steps happened. The hard error was detected and it was logged, but the system kept running. The only reason that it’s the last line on that image is because we immediately took a screenshot just in case the system would halt, but that never happened.

>>101439823
>the deprecation of Gluster
I meant to say Gluster is on community life support (practically unmaintained) after Red Hat stopped investing developer resources in it, and "Clustering and Sharing SCALE Volumes with TrueCommand" is deprecated in TrueCommand 3.0; TrueNAS SCALE 24.04 has removed the deprecated gluster backend.
Nonetheless TrueNAS is not getting many favors from enterprises, because of enterprise-ready solutions such as VMware vSAN, StarWind VSAN / VSAN Free, traditional SAN appliances like Dell PowerVault, and so on.

- blocky (dns)
- traefik (reverse proxy)
- samba fileshare
- filebrowser (web file browser)
- scrutiny (S.M.A.R.T monitor)
- rtorrent (torrent client)

I've made a few slight mistakes while building this rack (namely buying both a patch panel and a brush cable hider), but otherwise i'm fairly happy with how things have turned out. I'll be moving it to my HO that has an AC in it, and rack mounting my workstation to it so I can hook up to the UPS. Sadly I can't reach 100% aesthetics due to the lack of shippable intertech case rails (and the APC rack costs an arm and a leg here), so it's all just sitting in the rack without support (for now).
