I just got my 1 gbps fiber for my huge server. I found that with 125 MB/s network’s capacity, you hit hardware limitations very quickly, HDD in particular. Before going beyond 1 gig, you should ask yourself if you really need more, as you will need to upgrade everything to high specs, from hard drives, cards, cables, router, vpn, to finally notice your network stays close to 5 % usage most of the time, and that the 8Gbps advertised are only reached using a speed test, only at 4 in the morning, and that your expensive upgrade is in reality barely used.

A good router is expensive, a good network card with a good transceiver is expensive, and you need to have many, 8Gbps is CPU hungry, SSDs are wearing fast, it’s electric power hungry. This speed comes with a huge investment and heavy running costs.

I will stick with 1 gig for quite sometime I guess, it’s far enough for my heavy usage, I can’t imagine being too restricted to invest hundreds, if not a couple of thousands.

Looking at your picture there is as many starting with O than N. And you seem to mix french language and France. And what about other acronisms like BIT, or the even the Croix Rouge ? So, tell us, why do you despise France so much?

Truenas is completely unnecessary, it just brings overhead and complexity. You are good with your setup.

So it means that if my parents pay me to get a PhD on "the use of sausages’s forks in the cooking habits of the late Ptolemy II dynasty " I will be entailed to a “post on the labour market” ? All of this is wishful thinking.

So the rich will pay schools to qualify their children to the highest level while the poor will need to work to pay them their “Qualification -based wage for life”.

I would advice you to use Gluetun instead of crude Wireguard. Within gluetun you just have to set the port for the qbittorrent’s gui to be accessible locally, and open docker’s firewall for qbittorrent. Then set qbittorrent container to use Gluetun’s network.

The notion of risk rely on probability of the danger to occur. Think about a massive meteor crossing Earth’s path. It might be the end of life on Earth, so it’s a overwhelming danger. But it’s very unlikely, so the risk is very low. On the other side, the risk of getting a cold in winter is pretty high, but the danger is very low.

Because it trigger a reply from an unconcerned person like you. It tells a lot.

The broke nobody has chosen Trump. So surprising. Trump is only followed by loosers, like him.

Like you and your comments. Bland and easily replaced by a bot. The only difference is SHE is followed by millions of young people. I’m not even sure you can stand yourself.

It’s a R730XD. It draws 168W idle with 128GB of 2400Mhz, and 8 x 3.5" spinning drives. I started with small desktop computers, but I ended up compromising about everything: ram, disks, cards. Everything was braking one after an other, mostly because heat I would think. I (and my family) was constantly annoyed by the outages, so now I invested in a proper rack in my garage. It’s sometimes noisy, it’s somewhat power hungry, but god… Professional hardware is so comfortable to work with. iDRAC, ipmi, very good temperature management, lot of room for upgrades, reliability, I wouldn’t go back to the nightmare of half-assed computer. I now run everything I can think of so smoothly that I rarely get complains from anyone. It’s not only from the hardware side to be honest. Using traefik has been a massive improvement to ease my reverse proxying. Finally getting rid of Truenas a huge relief. And switching from a hardcore 20 year long Gentoo user to a Portainer’s noob a clever move to finally get some time to use the services I host instead of messing around with hundreds of config files.

By the way, I do not understand the huge paranoia about facing services to the internet. I’m happy to share my mail, websites, jellyfin, cloud services and what else to everyone interested. In the more than 30 years I’m online, I never been hacked in anyway. I might be lucky.

After years of messing around with cheap and unreliable hardware and complicated setups, I settled to a very stable and simple setup: one huge Dell server with a lot of spare SAS bays and plenty empty memory slots, driven by Proxmox. Within it only 4 VMs: One for pfSense, one for Home Assistant, one for Docker, and one for Ispconfig, as I host for some friends. I ended up using Truenas as it was such a pain to maintain and totally useless for my use case. Proxmox is good enough to run a simple ZFS Nas if you don’t need to manage dozens of shares and users. It’s now so hassle free that I start to become inclined to brake something just for the sake of it.

There might have been some firmware version messing with cache, ok. But I run latest firmware and yes, my SMART is clean and my scrubs are clean.

I run my 730xd with a H730 in HBA for months and Truenas has never had an issue.
