I have 2 24 port gigabit switches from ui and a usg3 right now and am looking for a 10gb switch for my iscsi setup. any suggestions? i was looking at the ui agg switches because i already have a full unifi environment but wasnt sure how well they would handle iscsi. i need at least 8 ports and would like to have layer 3 but if the price jumps massively then layer 2 only would be fine.

Sup,

I am currently an owner of a 2x E5 2680 v1 system (HP proliant DL... something). I bought it about 2 years ago for 160-ish$ with 32GB of 1333mhz RAM included. I've hit a RAM limit and my original thought was to just upgrade to 1600-1833mhz 128GB+ depending on how good of a deal I can find(sub 100 $).

Now I'm questioning if I should also throw in a newer CPU while I'm at it. I don't have the best frame of reference on how big of an upgrade each generation from v1 -> v4 were. The easiest option would be to get one of the top spec v2s.

Would a 2690 v2 or a 2697 v2 be a good upgrade over the v1 2680? Both power usage wise and multicore perf (something more than just paper specs)? I was looking at passmark scores but I'm not sure how reliable that is. Preferably I'd like to stick to v1 and v2s for the cheap ddr3.

I recently acquired some old 1U Barracuda email servers that are rocking Celeron G540s and 4GB DDR3 RAM and was wondering if they were worth keeping around or not? I don't mind spending some money on cheap additions to the hardware if necessary (more RAM, better CPU, etc.)

If so, I'm looking for some fun ideas of what these servers may be able to run.

I was thinking of adding a gigabit NIC to one of them for running OPNsense firewall.

Just to note, I currently have an old gaming PC running proxmox along with TrueNAS and a couple of docker containers on it.

Looking forward to seeing other ideas on this!

So I have an idea for my guest network at home, but not sure if its a fun prank or diabololical:

Leave the WIFI open, but force the users to agree to the Terms and Conditions every hour, while forcing them to watch Rick Astley's Never Gonna give you Up.

Should I do it?

Hi folks,

found an Dell Poweredge T320 listed for 190 Euros (about 210 USD).

I currently have a VPS but want to use my own machine now.

I’m currently running Ubuntu with Docker for two Gameservers, paperless-ngx and Nextcloud.

Would this be a good deal for me?

Many many thanks in advance :)

Hello all,

i currently struggle with installing ESXI 8 on my Intel Nuc 10 (i5, 32GB RAM, 500GB SATA SSD)

The installer went through without any issues until it tries to format the Disk with VMFS.

Then i get an Error Message "Failed to format VMFS on volume" and the Progress bar stops at 8%.

I tired to Switch with a different SSD (and older ESXI Versions), but the same Issue. Both SSDs were in use before with a different System. I also run Diskpart, Clean on one of them but without luck. Installing Windows/Linux on these SSDs work fine.

Can it be that there is maybe some issues with the SATA controller and ESXI? I ordered now a WD M2-SSD and will try to install it there.

Maybe someone can help me or give me some hints.

Thanks and regards.

I have an aging dell r710 server with a Md1000 disk shelf as a home server. It is loud, power hungry and old enough that I'm worried about eventual hardware failure.

My needs are fairly modest; Plex, *arr stacks, a windows vm, and NAS for just a few users. So performance isn't a big concern.

In your opinion, should i try to find a rX30 generation server or just build something out of consumer gear? I think the price could be similar if not cheaper for consumer gear, but I think the server hardware would be noisier and more power hungry long term.

I'm in Canada, so server hardware is MUCH more expensive up here.
