Lets start by asking ourselves a simple question. pfSense, who are you? Do you love pfSense? I think I have resolved both of these questions, and the answer is yes. I’ve used Netgate hardware in production in real life for many purposes. It’s good. TAC, even TAC lite, is a great value add. Plus...

Over the past year or so I have been obsessively exploring various aspects of ZFS performance, from large SATA arrays with multiple HBA cards, to testing NVME performance. In my previous testing I was leveraging castoff enterprise servers that were Westmere, Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge based...

Hi All, Not sure if this is documented somewhere, and I am sorry if I missed the topic. Looking for the most efficient dual-port 10 gig NIC for a homelab server. SFP+ cage is probably obviously lower power than copper. Intel X710? Connect-X 4? Chelsio?

Hi All, Just wondering, I have bought a variety of disk shelfs over the years from a bunch of vendors. Perhaps I just don't know where to look or they are just too new to be showing up in places like eBay. I know there are some Tri-Mode external HBA cards from Broadcom like the 9500-8e: HBA...

Not sure if these will even work in a standard server, if there are drivers required or anything else.... But 2TB of PCIE storage for less than $90 is interesting. NetApp Flash Cache II 2TB PCI-E Module 110-00202 111-00904 | eBay

Hi All, Posting to see if others have any experience to speak of when it comes to pfsense with multigigabit WAN connections. Recently an ISP in my area began offering FTTH with 3 offerings, 500/500 1000/1000 and 2000/2000. I just booked installation for next weekend for the gigabit tier for...

Hi all, Just looking at some options for a HHHL NVME drive that is <$300 I can see that the P3605/P3600 is going for around $200 on ebay fairly regularly and I’ve also found Samsung PM1725. Are there any other options in the 2014+ time period of NVME PCI-E addon cards that are worth looking into?

I’ve been working on building out my homelab environment for a very long time. I have been looking to solve a very specific problem I have with my current configuration and I was wondering how you all are dealing with it if you are in a similar place as I am. My homelab was started for two...

Hi All, I recently started foolin around with an old server in my lab. I'm looking to see if my performance numbers are out-of-whack because they seem low to me. I've built a poor-man's all flash array using the following A Supermicro 216 Chassis A Supermicro x8dth-6 motherboard (SAS2008-IT...

Hi all, I've created a Microk8s cluster and I am running into a problem. I installed microk8s via snap on Ubuntu 20.04 ARM, and I enabled DNS, Storage and Helm. All nodes are up and seem to be working fine. The problem I am having is with Helm, more specifically with Tiller. When I enabled helm...
