At home - Networking

• 10Gbps internet via Sonic.net
• TP-Link Omada ER8411 10Gbps router
• MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM 12-port 10Gbps switch
• 2 x TP-Link Omada EAP670 access points with 2.5Gbps PoE injectors
• TP-Link TL-SG1218MPE 16-port 1Gbps PoE switch for security cameras (3 x Dahua outdoor cams and 2 x Amcrest indoor cams)
• SLZB-06 PoE Zigbee coordinator for home automation - all my light switches are Inovelli Blue Zigbee smart switches, plus I have a bunch of smart plugs. Aqara temperature sensors, buttons, door/window sensors, etc.

Home server:

• Intel Core i5-13500
• Asus PRO WS W680M-ACE SE mATX motherboard
• 64GB server DDR5 ECC RAM
• 2 x 2TB Solidigm P44 Pro NVMe SSDs in ZFS mirror
• 2 x 20TB Seagate Exos X20 in ZFS mirror for data storage
• 14TB WD Purple Pro for security camera footage. Alerts SFTP’d to offsite server for secondary storage
• Running Unraid, a bunch of Docker containers, a Windows Server 2022 VM for Blue Iris, and an LXC container for a Bo gbackup server.

For things that need 100% reliability like emails, web hosting, DNS hosting, etc, I have a few VPSes “in the cloud”. The one for my emails is an AMD EPYC, 16GB RAM, 100GB NVMe space, 10Gbps connection for $60/year at GreenCloudVPS in San Jose, and I have similar ones at HostHatch (but with 40Gbps instead of 10Gbps) in Los Angeles.

I’ve got a bunch of other VPSes, mostly for dnstools.ws which is an open-source project I run. It lets you perform DNS lookup, pings, traceroutes, etc from nearly 30 locations around the world. Many of those are sponsored which means the company provides them for cheap/free in exchange for a backlink.

This Lemmy server is on another GreenCloudVPS system - their ninth birthday special which has 9GB RAM and 99GB NVMe disk space for $99 every three years ($33/year).
