Do you poweroff your server during night / unused times?
  • I let my production systems (1x NAS/1x Proxmox Host) on 24/7 and shut down test systems or my onside backup. I do it mainly to save some power and also noise, because all servers are in my office room. I would prefere some low power/noise machines that can keep running 24/7 and if you really need some horse power because you would want to test something or play around, you can power it on and shut down whenever you want.

    But I dont use any UPS, because the power grid is very stable where I live but I have snapshots every hour or so. I can live with an hour of data loss if shit hits the fan.

    I am happy for the Linux Mint team
  • True! I’m currently on Mint but want to try out KDE. So I probably will have a look at Fedora when I have the free time to do so.

    Networking Gear Recommendations? (starting from scratch)
  • I've had the same question when I wanted to seperate my homelab network from my normal network that is also used by my girlfriend.

    I tested a MikroTik router from a friend, but it was too deep for me. Ubiquity was too expensive since I was on a budget, so I got a TP-Link Omada Router and PoE Switch, which has a more user friendly UI than MikroTik. Maybe not as nice as Ubiquity but good enough for my needs and some more features than my ISP router.
