  • two wans
  • lots of vlans
  • 32vcpu hypervisor with gpu passthrough
  • 25gbps san running off the nas

Everything I do is mostly with VMs, the hypervisor is diskless pxe booting off the SAN. I've been cleaning up my lab, it used to be a plank of wood https://discuss.online/post/44690398

There is a nanokvm hanging off the hypervisor (rs232,atx header, hid) which makes remote rebuilds quite painless. I love my inexpensive nanokvm.

What does your homelab look like?

That rack is a thing of beauty.

14c/20t CPU

How does that work? 1.4 threads per core?

Nearly everything is PoE as the gods intended

Do you have that many poe devices?

Adding an OPNsense Firewall soon, just to mess around with some sort of dynamic firewall capabilities.

That sounds cool, but can't you do most of that with the mikrotik router you have already?

You have a fiber uplink leaving the switch, does it go to the hypervisor?

    It's the strange Intel CPUs with the 1c/1t efficiency cores. (i5-14600k)

    I have PoE cameras and wifi points. The meshmastic node is also PoE.

    MT will loose all of the historical data each time your reboot it. And MT seems to push updates quite often.

    Additional I can at least have community rules for IDS/IPS. MT only has a basic stateful firewall abilities.

    The fiber uplink actually goes to my warm backup server. That gets turned on every few months to so to take a backup from the main server. It's 160TB raw.

    I know on some of the more modern intel CPU's they run something like a big.little system, where there's a number of "performance" cores and some "efficiency" cores. Often it's just the performance cores that will have hyperthreading, leading to a whacky thread count compared to physical cores.
