It’s probably not a thing anymore.

Not all NICs are VLAN capable AFAIK.

But as another Redditor mentioned, being new to this and virtualising your only/main router sounds like a headache waiting to happen.

Capacitor fluid does not smell pleasant. 😁

I would keep one ‘proper’ server, 3-5 SFF machines for cluster labs and such.

One of the SFF could be a decent 24/7 production machine with light Proxmox duties or something similar.

You’ll have to provide cool air to the room as well. No amount of extraction will help if you don’t do that.

I’d think many of us have large amounts of mostly idle cores. 🙂

If I were to start from scratch, I’d pick something power efficient first.

That sounds totally normal.

The airflow over the CPUs is not the same. My right CPU (as seen from the front) is always 2-4C hotter than the left. Under load, and if I have 16 spinning rust in the front, the right CPU may well be 4-5-6C hotter.

I wouldn’t worry about it.

Nothing.

We have been buying less and less stuff these last few years, and it’s been great.

Good for our stress levels, and the environment.

Win/win.

Is there a RAID controller in your machine?
