Thanks, I'll have to check. Same settings as I've always used and it's really loud through my headphones (granted my amp stack is expensive).

PTFO - who's ready?

Jim @jimsgarage.co.uk · 9d

Interested to see the Enterprise variants of the Unifi UPS - promising entry!

A "cool" addition to my rack that's dropped temps by >20C! Props to Mi09 https://youtu.be/bkkMP_ibyUM

Dropped SFP+ temps by over 20C. WAS-110 in Unifi DMP Max is much happier! 😎

Removed a cheap Chinese switch I was using to split my internet connection, gained 2ms. Pretty awesome! Thanks for the suggestion.

That's awesome, I'm looking at doing some Pi5 coverage with a dGPU and this will be invaluable. Good job to all involved.

Testing out the MinisForum N5 Pro with ECC RAM - great device so far. CloudOS needs some more work though...

Jim @jimsgarage.co.uk · 16d

TrueNAS - bare metal or VM? Can't quite decide (45 Drives HL15 btw)

64GB of ECC SODIMM, it's NAS time

Jim @jimsgarage.co.uk · 18d

R8127 is listed in the notes

Realtek NICs do work out of the box with kernel 6.16, unfortunately this isn't yet in main release for Proxmox and many other Debian based distros. At least it's coming (and you can manually upgrade).

It's still early days for these devices and that means high prices. 5060Ti will be quick but the small amount of ram will significantly hurt the accuracy of models... Tricky one.

Time to check out the MinisForum MS-S1 MAX - it's pretty awesome! youtu.be/LbXwXnXZNzs

Thank you, really appreciate the feedback.

Jim @jimsgarage.co.uk · 22d

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Anyone have Realtek 10Gb (r8127) working in Proxmox or Ubuntu?

An awesome monitoring tool that's a Sys Admin's dream. Check out Checkmk RAW in my latest video and find out how you can monitor pretty much anything: https://youtu.be/5_5yD1fe-dk
