@fr3ze_19 күн бұрын
Yes, Solar does help some, but only on sunny days. In the summer my solar (53 panels) produces about 15kw for most of the day, but in the winter most days peak at 3-5kw, and sometimes 0. In net Solar makes about 1/3 of the power that I use.. so it helps, but I would need another 100 panels to be grid independent.

I'd certainly buy some overkill hardware for fun if money wasn't a factor

@jeffsponaugle6339 ... Into 'one of' the 'lower garage' labs. So let's break this statement down a little... You have multiple labs in your house. Normally, multiple simply means >1. You, however, have at least 2 labs in your 'lower' garage. Meaning that you have at least two garages. And, since you had to specify which garage you're talking about, I'm assuming that you gave labs in both/all of them. ... Are you running the Oregon branch of the Institute (Fallout)? Should we be worried? Do you offer unpaid internships in exchange for security guarantees? Edit: all jokes aside, this setup of yours looks absolutely epic. I used to work at a 'flag carrier' of a relatively big hotel chain, and there I had occasional access to their server room (I think it ran the majority of the VM array for the whole company). It can't ever compare. There, I would see filthy racks caked with dust and grime, poor ventilation, non-existent temperature control, dim lighting... And here... This! Major props to you, my man!

@HksF1619 күн бұрын
Mostly corporate stuff. You can store. Maybe KZhead video editing, maybe some corporate files etc. No one spends money for plex media servers because all the data is mostly considered p1r@cy. Trust me, your ISP will see your t0®®ents of 50+ gb per movie and impose speed cap or terminate your connection. Because it has legal consequences on their ISP licence. Typical homelab or self hoisted companies do need such equipment maybe to hoist their own websites, apps, GPU clusters, nas for employees for maybe sharing files for editing etc. As long as you earn from these, it's good. Earning $1 million a year and investing $1 million for equipment is not much because roi is just 1 year. Then profit profit minus the cost of maintenance and recurring investment like internet leased line, firewall subscription etc. Note: I do not recommended mining or p1r@cy of games/movies/tv shows etc. He surely uses his homelab to support and run his business.

Homelab? You may have gone too far. My advice, get an infrastructure job like mine, where you occasionally go to data centers, do it for 30+ years, then you will no longer have an obsession with data centers, racks, etc, and you'll be satisfied with a powerful tower PC, and a few mini PCs. We have now migrated 1200 servers from ESX on-prem to Azure, so the office Comms room, in my office, is about the same as your homelab. When I think of your energy bill I come out in a cold sweat !

I uploaded a new video to answer a few of the questions people asked in the comments about my homelab. kzhead.info/sun/greAfNayiqd5p4U/bejne.html
really incredible stuff - thanks for sharing your HL and answering the questions.
That’s not a homelab. That’s a corporate DATACENTER that happens to be located in your home.

Punching in his name in Google seems to indicate he's a CTO so it checks out
was about to say...
@@Gamez4eveR I’m a CTO at one the biggest banks in the world and my Homelab isn’t anything close to that. Being a CTO explains nothing. That shit is crazy. For the next video I want to know what type of porn he’s downloading and distributing! 😉
Sir you are a datacenter with a home on top of it.
Agree👍🏻
power company thinking wtf
@@Nossody well, he uses solar, so maybe the power company doesn't ever register that
@@danilocianfrone670 aint no way he powers that 10kW draw by solar panels located on top of his house. but then again, this aint a "homelab" either so he might just have a "HomePowerplant" located next door too lol
Yes, Solar does help some, but only on sunny days. In the summer my solar (53 panels) produces about 15kw for most of the day, but in the winter most days peak at 3-5kw, and sometimes 0. In net Solar makes about 1/3 of the power that I use.. so it helps, but I would need another 100 panels to be grid independent.

Anything is a homelab if your brave enough
exactly what i was thinking about 🙂
How did you comment 1 month ago?😮
"So what are you running on these machines?" "Just a small minecraft server"
I'm genuinely curious about this - one person can only generate so much load I would have thought..? Maybe his other hobbies include high-resolution weather forecasting, flow simulations, FPGA synthesis, and building images for large embedded systems I guess it might be entirely for fun, since maintaining that amount of hardware and systems is a hobby itself. I'd certainly buy some overkill hardware for fun if money wasn't a factor
It’s all about convincing other corporations that AWS is just too expensive. I’ve got one client alone that requires 75 VMs. They could go to AWS and spend 75k at least, or they could pay someone to built it themselves.

@@absakwell also I mean. You have all those servers, they wouldnt be running for no reason. They serve customers clearly
@@fxlltxtsearchum, no. This is a homelab. It's for home use. I'm sure he manages an even more impressive setup at a real DC where the customer data and services are running from. Running customer services and storing customer data at a CTO's house would be frowned upon to put it lightly

No.
I love the setup. So simple and clean.
I am currently a college student for Computer Networking, and this video is such a huge motivation for me to keep learning so I can have a dream lab like this.

Nice video! I love your modesty: "I have a small homelab", "pretty simple stuff",... 🙂
Absolutely stunning lab. Beauty!
The sheer amount of hardware just amazing.
10kW power draw?? Insane. At my local electricity rates you're spending (or losing from not exporting solar) over $100/day or $38,000/year on electricity alone.
10kW and it's *not all on yet*!
I have a couple servers that draw 3.6kW each, I went 100% solar with battery backup. The good thing is I don't need those servers powered up all the time. Makes no sense to do so. All my machines have remote power management so I can power them up and down from afar.
ok I gotta ask what's the rate in your area? cuz where i am it's about 0.11 USD / kWh
That is cheap, for me it's 0.25€ / kWh = 0.27 USD / kWh
For me it's $0.07/kWh so hopefully his is around that mark
This is absolutely and I love it. I work in IT infrastructure and none of my SMB customers have as many servers as you. The really big enterprise customers are a different story (4PB redundant object storage cluster anyone?), but my SMB customers basically all have 4-8 servers max.
I used to do corporate IT and with SMB's if you have 3+ physical servers, that's a customer that's investing in their infrastructure. It's different.
SMB owner, 20 staff: We've got 5 physical hosts (self built prosumer parts), 1 rack and a few NAS for backup (to 3 locations). Don't even have space for a server room!
... WOW! So beautiful made and so much FUN stuff in there, I'm jealous! What an awesome server room you got ❤
Wow, so inspirational! I hope that someday I will be able to make a lab like this at my home. Thanks for sharing!
😮 lawd. You could save on heating by just rerouting a few exhaust fans back into the lounge room. Seriously though this is freaking amazing 🙌🏽
Indeed - I do have an economizer that pulls in outside cool air and vents the warm air into one of the lower garage labs - So I do get a little bit usable heat out of it in the winter.
@@jeffsponaugle6339lol you sound like a loser
@jeffsponaugle6339 ... Into 'one of' the 'lower garage' labs. So let's break this statement down a little... You have multiple labs in your house. Normally, multiple simply means >1. You, however, have at least 2 labs in your 'lower' garage. Meaning that you have at least two garages. And, since you had to specify which garage you're talking about, I'm assuming that you gave labs in both/all of them. ... Are you running the Oregon branch of the Institute (Fallout)? Should we be worried? Do you offer unpaid internships in exchange for security guarantees? Edit: all jokes aside, this setup of yours looks absolutely epic. I used to work at a 'flag carrier' of a relatively big hotel chain, and there I had occasional access to their server room (I think it ran the majority of the VM array for the whole company). It can't ever compare. There, I would see filthy racks caked with dust and grime, poor ventilation, non-existent temperature control, dim lighting... And here... This! Major props to you, my man!

The most humble homelab I've ever seen! It looks super clean, nice work!
very great video please continue creating. Ive been researching building something like this for years now and this video is extremely beneficial to me. thanks
This is the dream of every IT enthusiast :D I really like how this looks, especially the part where you monitor everything with Grafana on your monitor outside the room :D :)
crazy stuff, even my office does not have that much kind of equipment lol. good job

Randomly found your channel. OMG this video. Thanks for sharing!
This can be an MDF room for a mid-sized company. Really like how you keep the cabling net and clean. You did a great job. Oh boy let me say there is lot of money invested in this !
Those storage drives are surely storing some stuff...
Mostly corporate stuff. You can store. Maybe KZhead video editing, maybe some corporate files etc. No one spends money for plex media servers because all the data is mostly considered p1r@cy. Trust me, your ISP will see your t0®®ents of 50+ gb per movie and impose speed cap or terminate your connection. Because it has legal consequences on their ISP licence. Typical homelab or self hoisted companies do need such equipment maybe to hoist their own websites, apps, GPU clusters, nas for employees for maybe sharing files for editing etc. As long as you earn from these, it's good. Earning $1 million a year and investing $1 million for equipment is not much because roi is just 1 year. Then profit profit minus the cost of maintenance and recurring investment like internet leased line, firewall subscription etc. Note: I do not recommended mining or p1r@cy of games/movies/tv shows etc. He surely uses his homelab to support and run his business.

So how much time do you send on running this place? Looks like a full time job!
Dang, I've got to up my game lol - Absolutely awesome!! Thx for sharing!
that's an awesome setup, I wish I can get something like this later in life.
Sweet Mary... Homelab is one SERIOUS understatement
My guess is he was upset with IT in his company. He built this off-site to be independent and get his stuff done. Then IT found out and he was on the brink of getting fired. He showed the CEO his setup. CEO made him CTO.
@@TheCarmacon Shadow IT would be an understatement. This is a whole shadow enterprise IT department lol. Looks like multiple companies' technical infrastructure could run off of that one privately-owned corporate data center located in a guy's basement alone.

Very nice and interesting video! thanks for the look
Homelab? You may have gone too far. My advice, get an infrastructure job like mine, where you occasionally go to data centers, do it for 30+ years, then you will no longer have an obsession with data centers, racks, etc, and you'll be satisfied with a powerful tower PC, and a few mini PCs. We have now migrated 1200 servers from ESX on-prem to Azure, so the office Comms room, in my office, is about the same as your homelab. When I think of your energy bill I come out in a cold sweat !
This is the best comment so far... I just showed this to my wife and told her if you see me ever building something like this kick me out of the house :D
Indeed - I did infrastructure.. built up data centers, BGP peering, lots of switching and routing, but that was in the late 90s as things were just starting to boom. I still enjoy this level of building perhaps because it is not my full time job. None the less I think any CTO should be able to not just talk architecture and strategy but also do and build.
@@jeffsponaugle6339absolutely. If you can do it you certainly have an understanding of what it can do and can't, diagnosing problems gives insight, and honestly there is a pleasure in getting new systems installed, hooked up and doing useful work. Your other half tho, must have superhuman understanding. It is nice to see a small DC in somebody's home, but I wouldn't be happy with your electricity bill. But if you're happy that's what matters. 15-20 years ago if I had the space I might have done something similar.
lol i'd like to do a DC job honestly. I have no experience so yeah
When you have "Pimp-Tier" homelab...
