READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

I was bored so I tested ReFS by itself, with integrity streams (checksumming), with blitlocker encryption, and with integrity streams and bitlocker encryption using CrystalDiskMark default tests on a VHDX hosted on a pci-e 4 nvme ssd

A while ago I was complaining about gpu passthrough, and just couldn't find anything about it. The issue was that linux was setting the powerstate to d3cold when the quadro rtx4000 I was using didn't really have support for that and couldn't recover. Turns out that the solution was to just to add this systemd service.
[Unit]
Description=Disable D3cold for passthrough GPU
After=default.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:c1:00.0/d3cold_allowed'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
My 70 iq self couldn't find anything relevent throught google, but it only took 5 minutes with chatgpt to turn this error code.
kvm: ../hw/pci/pci.c:1654: pci_irq_handler: Assertion 0 <= irq_num && irq_num < PCI_NUM_PINS' failed.
into the above solution.
