Picrel is retarded. I've since taken the hyperconverged homelab way: my desktop, workstation, media server, gitlab runner, home assistant, NAS, backup server, gaming rig, adguard dns server, etc... Is my 64 core machine with 128GB memory.Just get something that is reliable.>but you don't learn ProxmoxI yet have to see a Proxmox used at an actual company that isn't fewer than 10 people>but you don't learn netwooorkingMy work has more networking than anything I could fit in my home even without having a wife>but power consoomptionJust get a modern processor, this thing with 2 NVMe and 10 3.5 HDD idles at 100W (I spin down hard drives like UnRAID, unified FS with MergerFS and offline parity with SnapRAID)Everything on NixOS btw
>>107888349It's a hobby, practicality is besides the point.
>>107888489This. Literally all you need is a desktop for a server. You can even use a laptop since whatever you're doing likely doesn't get that much traffic.
>>107888349Separate your desktop and server. Everything that you mentioned could run on a minipc or optiplex that costs less than $100.
Using 64 cores and 128GB of memory to run video games and services that would work on a minipc shitbox is hardly deserving of a thread. If you're not going to pretend your consumerism is a form of autodidactism, I don't see the point of a 'homelab' at all.
Homelabs are reddit

>>107888584>Separate your desktop and serverNo>Everything that you mentioned could run on a minipc or optiplex that costs less than $100A gitlab instance alone eats 8GB, and depending on what I'm building the runners will shoot up to 10GB each. I don't want my builds to swap to shit. >>107888585I currently have 25GB in resident memory usage with nothing actively running, you need at least 3 poorfag pcs to do the same, and limited by the network bw. >>107888536I do get traffic though, my emby routinely has 3 simultaneous 4k streams in the evening. Actual transcoding power is needed.
>>107888696shut up noob faggot
>>107888705Go fire up another kubernetes, redditor
>>107888349>even without having a wifeYou're supposed to tell us you don't have a wife without telling us you don't have a wife.
>>107888349I too have only one machine as a server, but having a bunch of small fries sounds fun,More expensive? ProbablyLess efficient? MaybeImpractical? Yes Dumb? Absolutely Nevertheless, seems fun to play around with .
