No heathsink on the demo board nor are there any holes on the PCB to mount it.

How is it possible that 10 GbE had become so energy efficient?

Fellow lurker here.

Been dying to test out Proxmox for years, it always looked so cool compared to just use Virt man or VMware.

So like with everything, I went in deep down the rabbit hole.

Currently i'm sitting with 2 rack mounted PCs and a mini-pc as Proxmox cluster and several Ubiquiti switches and UDM.

Even though I've working in IT for close to a decade, learning about infrastructure and servers is a new world, and I'm having a blast.

I can get a free ProCurve 1800-24G from work, but I know it's old and wondering if it's just a bad idea. In practical terms, I could have use for it. Should switches be avoided when 10+ yrs old due to components being worn out (capacitors etc) or is it fine to use them for a long time as long as they cover your needs? How long do these things really typically last... ?

I'm new to this community, and I see lots of lovely looking photos of servers, networks, etc. but I'm wondering...what's it all for? What purpose does it serve for you?

I’m working full-time while pursuing a master’s degree, so finding time to tinker with my setup feels nearly impossible. I’ve got a Simaboard and a Raspberry Pi 4 at home, and I’m squeezing in research during my commute and any spare minute I can find. Yet I can’t shake the feeling that whatever time I manage to dedicate will never be enough; the time I can spend tinkering at home is very limited, which makes it really hard to get started.

I would love to hear how much time you typically invest in your homelab per week, and whether my feeling is correct or if I’m just stuck in my head and overthinking.

Hello homelabbers, I have been following Tailscale youtube channel lately and found them useful as they mostly make homelab related videos and sometimes where Tailscale fits, now that I know the channel and follow, I just wanted to introduce this to current beginners and future beginners since very few people watch some really good videos, here is a recent video from Alex regarding homelab setup using proxmox. Thanks Alex

Note: I am by no means related to Tailscale. I am just a recent beginner who loves homelabbing. Thanks
