Interested to know how many of you guys use object store to house your files/movies/pictures and shit like that in the #homelab or we just file systems all of the time?

Have an opportunity to run some fibre cable to the homelab in our external garage when we dig a trench for something else. I’ll be running Cat6 also. Cable run will be about 25m.
Don’t really know where to start with fibre. Any recommendations of cable and where to source from in the UK?

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI'm working on a base and these slide in modules, each one can hold a Raspberry Pi. I've got a few different models so there are two different carriers.
I've currently got two (about to be four) Pi SBCs doing things on my home network so I figured it would be worth organizing them a bit.
And the idea is that these can slide in/out of place if needed.

I tested 10 VGA to HDMI adapters with my Homelab servers so that you don't have to.
Is there an affordable blade server solution for #homelab ? One that does not need a dedicated phase for itself?
@gangrif@undrground.orgHey Folks! Ive put together what I hope to make the start of a series on Projects to use to teach yourself #linux !! The first installment is building a home lab. I think this is an important first step, and it walks you through installing linux and getting into administering it with Cockpit.
It's live on my Peertube instance here:

@pan@wetdry.worldWhy is so much discussion I see about NAS related to running VMs, docker, or just various applications on the NAS itself? Is this because of a desire for a home server that does it all in one? That reason makes the most sense to me.
Having not tried it, it just seems ideal to me for the NAS to be like an appliance that you don't have to admin very often, and then have the experimental homelab crap running Linux would mount that storage.
IDK, maybe I'm just afraid of running into something that is a pain to run on FreeBSD since I haven't done that before. Please share your thoughts with me.
@NadCee@worldkey.ioDo any of you recommend NextCloud? Why? Why not? #SelfHosted #HomeLab
~µ±v̷~ @winterschon@bsd.cafeSometimes I think, maybe I should use TrueNAS, and then I remembered that their C•Suite decided to give the 
to FreeBSD... the very same operating system and community of developers and engineers who enabled their company to exist from the start, to scale to the level which brought them success and growth and accolades from the OSS and enterprise storage communities alike.
So no, I don't use TrueNAS. Whatever many reasons they and their indolent fanboys push for moving to Linux, and I have heard them all, it's irrelevant. They didn't just bite the hand that feeds, they went straight over to the clown-show makeup meme table and slathered it on; trying so hard to convince everyone including themselves that this betrayal was the Good and Ethical thing to do.
Luckily there are alternatives, and those will get my time, engineering efforts, and fiscal support. One thing to remember: alienated users do not recommend those formerly loved products to their employers, they do not "spread the love" via organic marketing, and perhaps sometimes they dissuade when they would formerly embrace.
Yesterday, at about 5:30 local time (roughly) or 2100 UTC, my #homelab went offline. I was no longer able to access it from my undisclosed location. Right now, I'm at the coffee shop a few blocks from home, typing this instead of entering the basement on a discovery mission.
Coffee first.
Okay, we're gonna be yeeting our Echo devices shortly. What're good alternatives? We're a mixed household -- my partner is Android, I'm iOS -- and we have a home assistant installation kicking around, including integration with Hue
I'm leaning towards homepods, but I'm open to other options. #homelab #HomeAutomation
While looking for new hardware for our home server (a 19'' mini rack server is very tempting...), I just came across project #minirack
10" rack server builds using a mix of off-the-shelf commercial and #diy #3dprinted mounts, panels, frontplates etc.
Looks interesting (and the mini racks are also rather cute).
Maybe interesting to some of you.
