Nobody is using MMF these days even for local runs. As to sfp, check https://fs.com and pick a matching pair that is cheapest. These days it makes sense to use 10G or 25G rather than 1G. Some people run 100G for their homelab, but even used it’s pricy and noisy.

You seem to trust Nvidia. I don’t.

I would look into thin clients and Lenovo etc. tiny PC for office on eBay. I run old low power low noise rackmount Supermicros which are nice but hard to find at low prices.

Factor in power bills and heat and noise into your calculations.

Nah. He’s that Youtube dude.

From the mouth of the beast https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/nomad-vs-kubernetes What I have read online is that Nomad can have issues at large scale. No personal experience.

In any case since now OpenShift and Nomad are both under IBM’s umbrella there is space for an enterprise Kubernetes distribution, if someone is brave enough.

Nomad isn’t a real alternative to Kubernetes/OpenShift.

An L3 switch is a router. Though most of them don’t have enough resources to take a full BGP routing table, at wire speed.

What’s a reddit?

Linux and a bunch of ebooks. Maybe Larn and Nethack.

Also opnsense, but on thin client.

Why not postfix?

I use a LineageOS phone with nanogapps which can run a TAN app but I use a hardware TAN generator instead which is far more secure.

My tablet is pure LineageOS without any Google services.

I hear you, but Proxmox does a great many more things than just run containers. Admittedly, many selfhosters won’t need these.

It’s a NUC so sufficiently poweful. Proxmox isn’t fat by any means. If you run your stuff in containers then Proxmox (I aways install it on top of Debian) is your hypervisor is your base system. You typically don’t install stuff on your hypervisor, though I do some very select things.

Proxmox with Debian containers.

Did you get it used? For how much? How is the noise level?

Very impressive. Doesn’t look obviously fake even on second glance.
