Comrades, my homelab hasn't changed for over a year. I think it is “finished”.

#homelab

threaded - newest

JASN_DE@feddit.org on 05 Oct 11:32 next collapse

That is a very stylish rack. Nice setup overall.

Edit: ouch, nice and pricey.

slazer2au@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 11:32 next collapse

Oh, it’s never finished. There is always just one more thing.

Also specs?

snd@discuss.tchncs.de on 05 Oct 11:44 collapse

Top (my desktop)

  • AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (no dGPU, because I do 90% of my work in the terminal)
  • 1 TB NVME
  • 32 GB DDR5
  • NixOS

Bottom (server)

  • AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
  • 8 GB RAM DDR4
  • in total 4 TB NVME
  • NixOS

(nvme and noctua only)

tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden on 05 Oct 11:39 next collapse

I guess you migrated to homeserver then.

What’s in there?

Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 12:06 next collapse

Homelab being finished? That’s heresy!

theorangeninja@sopuli.xyz on 05 Oct 12:09 next collapse

The cable sleeve joining the cables from the keyboard and mouse and then going around the monitor stand looks soo smooth.

rehydrate5503@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 12:10 next collapse

Nice and clean. Amazing cable management.

I have to ask, why the giant 4u cases if you have such a minimal set up inside (no dgpu, 4 nvme drives, no hdds)? Did you get a smoking deal on them (I got one that looks to be the same for $50 😎), or just to future proof in case you want to throw 40 hdds in them some day?

snd@discuss.tchncs.de on 05 Oct 12:20 collapse

It’s nice not to have to fit everything into 1U or 2U enclosures, and yes, also a bit of future-proofing.

Cobrachicken@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 12:56 next collapse

Plus, space for big Noctuas to minimize noise? (That the way I went.)

snd@discuss.tchncs.de on 05 Oct 13:05 collapse

Yes

rehydrate5503@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 16:28 collapse

That’s fair. Must be nice and cool in there for all your components haha.

markstos@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 12:39 next collapse

Needs a painting or a rug to really pull the room together.

CluckN@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 15:13 next collapse

A painting of a rug would be perfect

Ugurcan@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 22:09 collapse

I would say your music could benefit a lot from a rug that diffuses some sound waves.

(Also a short stand for speakers)

Nice job on cables though!

pineapple@lemmy.ml on 06 Oct 00:31 collapse

what’s with all these speaker jokes?

poVoq@slrpnk.net on 05 Oct 12:49 next collapse

Isn’t that way too noisy right next to your work desk? Especially if you do audio recordings there?

tordenflesk@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 13:56 next collapse

Monitor/speaker-arms maybe?

antifa_ceo@lemmy.ml on 05 Oct 13:57 next collapse

Finished…for now.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 14:57 next collapse

Those speakers look nice. If I weren’t addicted to having 3 monitors I’d aim for something like this

barnaclebutt@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 16:10 next collapse

How loud is it?

JASN_DE@feddit.org on 05 Oct 17:54 next collapse

Considering the hardware listed in this thread: likely nearly inaudible.

snd@discuss.tchncs.de on 05 Oct 19:23 collapse

Well, let’s put it this way: I sleep in the same room :)

InFerNo@lemmy.ml on 05 Oct 21:08 collapse

I take it you need whitenoise to sleep then

jaykrown@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 16:14 next collapse

A second monitor is what’s missing.

comrade19@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 20:43 collapse

‘if you go fuck a dude and he has 2 monitor’s and a light up keyboard, just go home’

Crashumbc@lemmy.world on 07 Oct 14:23 collapse

Luckily I have 3!

comrade19@lemmy.world on 08 Oct 10:59 collapse

3 is amazing on one computer. I used to have that with the nvidia 3d vision glasses. Do you use surround gaming?

Damn I got down voted I was just joking :(

crazyminner@lemmy.ml on 05 Oct 17:21 next collapse

Clearly you don’t data hoard. Us Data hoarders are never finished.

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 05 Oct 18:39 next collapse

tbf if you set it up well, all you usually have to do is add more storage.

lightnsfw@reddthat.com on 05 Oct 20:34 collapse

I data hoard and my storage fits in one of those Rosewill chassis. They can fit a lot of drives.

Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 18:23 next collapse

Where subwoofers

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 05 Oct 18:44 next collapse

fair enough. mine is a single mini pc with loads of ram, because that’s perfectly fine for what i want to do.

server workloads for just a few users won’t demand too much hardware. if it’s good, it’s good, and your physical setup seems nice enough already.

HandMadeArtisanRobot@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 18:46 next collapse

Looks amazing! Those speakers would sound 10x better if they were closer to ear-level. It made a big difference in my setup.

Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works on 05 Oct 19:42 collapse

Get some angled wedges!

rf_@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 19:15 next collapse

Out of curiosity to think about what to do with my life, what do you do for a living? Software engineer?

snd@discuss.tchncs.de on 05 Oct 19:32 collapse

I am currently completing my bachelor’s degree in computer science. Once this is finished, I will begin a master’s program. I assume this information is not really helpful to you, sorry.

InFerNo@lemmy.ml on 05 Oct 21:09 next collapse

Very nice and clean!

hperrin@lemmy.ca on 05 Oct 21:23 next collapse

That’s a legitimately beautiful setup.

ayyy@sh.itjust.works on 05 Oct 21:30 next collapse

You forgot to plug everything in.

LumiNocta@lemmy.zip on 05 Oct 22:57 next collapse

May I ask. What is it you do on these systems, as in why do you need something like this?

sunbeam60@lemmy.one on 05 Oct 23:52 collapse

To securely, privately, rapidly download and store a variety of of Linux distributions. Almost all homelab is about downloading and storing Linux distributions.

maracuya@lemmy.ml on 05 Oct 23:05 next collapse

what desk is that, and would you recommend it?

chaoticnumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 05 Oct 23:31 next collapse

how many watts does it chug on average? Sweet setup.

billwashere@lemmy.world on 06 Oct 00:11 next collapse

A homelab is never finished.

Bronstein_Tardigrade@lemmygrad.ml on 06 Oct 00:22 next collapse

It’s not complete until there is a cat napping on the keyboard.

pineapple@lemmy.ml on 06 Oct 00:29 next collapse

That is until you run out of space to store linux iso’s.

coaxil@lemmy.zip on 06 Oct 03:27 next collapse

Get those speakers decoupled from the table and pointing at your ear holes!

Nalivai@lemmy.world on 06 Oct 09:05 collapse

Those are called headphones

DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world on 06 Oct 05:16 next collapse

Add a plant

besbin@lemmy.ml on 07 Oct 04:22 next collapse

Where did you get that table top for the rack? Is that a DIY?

untorquer@lemmy.world on 07 Oct 05:11 collapse

Missing anime posters or, alternatively, random and poorly painted landscape art.
