i feel like i'm trying way too hard to make my home lab sustainable to outages as much as possible than i need to
like, i'm unironically considering buying an LTE (we got only LTE here) modem as a fail-over WAN for my home lab, but like, would 70 Mbit/s for twice the price of a gigabit internet really benefit me? i feel like my stuff will saturate this very quickly
i guess that better than not having internet connection but still :/

@rain I feel this. I got extremely lucky in that our landlords forced another Internet connection on us with a different ISP using different infra, and thankfully not charging any extra rent for it.

I immediately bridged the modem and set it as a failover connection on my router. Just need a second UPS so I can have things last longer than 10 minutes on battery.

@maddy i don't think we really have any other ISP in our house, so yeah
i was thinking about UPS for a while, and in the end i went for a portable power station with USB-B connectivity instead of a UPS (and also we have a separate UPS for the main router)
while i still had to turn off one of the three servers for this to bring down power consumption from ~110 w to ~60 w, it helped my services survive a ~3 hour outage today, and it still had 25% charge left

@jcm @maddy i have 3 servers mostly to split different OSes and purposes between them, because visualizing the first two OSes i'm about to list on a single Proxmox box, even with PCIe passthrough, did cause me some headache
i have a custom-built mini-server acting as a OPNsense router, i have a HP Z640 acting as a TrueNAS... NAS, and a Lenovo ThinkStation P330 SFF as a Proxmox host with 16 LXCs and 2 VMs

@jcm @maddy though i'm considering switching Z640 and P330 for a single, more modern box, either on s1200, or sAM4, or s3647

That's probably not an ARM issue tho, right?

@jcm @maddy well, i kinda thought that two ARM cores would be enough for shrimp.net, but turns out just a single boost of a public post by a moderately popular fedizen is enough for shrimp to go as far as crash on here
