@ricci it occurred today that my network is run with a bus factor of one. So now I have to put together a disaster recovery plan for if that bus rears it's head. It's going to amount to "unplug it all, factory reset the ISP box and hope" but that's all I've got.

@ricci this is why my medium term goal is to setup a separate homelab environment and homeprod environment... Homelabbing really is taking the problems from work home with you

@ricci honestly, my intention is to have the lab systems be older and cheaper systems that spend some amount of time powered off, while the production systems are more energy efficiency optimized and right-sized for the workload. Seems to be the right balance between cost and performance

@ricci oh that absolutely ups the complexity a lot! I've just got a pallet of old office PCs from an auction I didn't expect to win. Right now I just have one running 24/7 as a proxmox host and storage pool, I might eventually turn it into a cluster, I might not. I kinda want to get one of those 2u4node or a pair of 2u2node supermicro systems (probably x99/DDR4 era for cost reasons) for my lab servers, since there's some fun cluster stuff I want to mess around with and physical cabling makes that much easier. Plus they support more than the 32GB of RAM that my hoard of cheap ewaste PCs support
