Just wanting to know what you've found to be the best tools for this and while i'm at it announce how i've done it. I've began to use confluence with 10-user starter license (self-hosted costs 10usd/y) for documentation and rather simple python script to pull dns names and IP from the...

I've got a little tinkering project in mind and I'm sourcing PSU for it. Since pretty recent 1U PSU's are cheap as dirt and usually 80 Gold/Platinum rated I set my eyes on DL160 G6's 750W PSU. ATX is way too large and SFX psu's are crap in quality. If somebody has a idle DL160 with hotswap psu...

I think the title says it all. Retiring my C6100 from the homelab, but I need unmutilated sleds so I can put the forced air cooling setup back.

This is for the C6100 Mezzanine port pinout project so damaged goods are useful, cheaper the better. Won't probably even attempt to resolder the LSI1068E chips back after I'm finished with poking the pinout. Offers to this thread or PM.

Somehow I got this vague memory that it's possible tunnel multiple networks with each having their own accounts and passwords from single server instance of ipsec + xl2tpd, but I cannot find any documentation about this. Has anyone done this or heard of this being done? The VPN itself works...
