So clear.

Looking good so far! Love to see more videos of how you are setting up your homelab. I have been working in IT for 20 years and I finally built out my home lab recently just to keep up with skills that I do not get to utilize anymore. Using my homelab to get away from big tech.

[@Ramtechbytes]

That's so inspiring a veteran like you checked out my video. I can't thank you enough for your view and comment. I will be sure to breakdown more home lab stuff and showing you all the skills I've picked up and will pick up.

@@Ramtechbytes Always happy to see someone learning some new skills. I am sure there will be things that you will teach me and I am excited to help, learn, etc along the way with you!

Welcome aboard. You move into the world of IT is going well. Love the way your "flexing" your new found knowledge - and slappin the ram in. Flex on bro. Wait till you discover NixOS. Catch ya on the flip side (NixOS) -OneLove

[@Ramtechbytes]

I definitely want to hop into nix os after I get better with the command line and powershell. So much stuff to learn it literally keeps me up all night lol.

[@Unlikelyjellyfish]

Awesome build and story!

[@Ramtechbytes]

I'm glad you enjoyed it make sure you join the community I've got lots to share with you guys.

Nice setup, you actually gave me an idea to use my smart switch before my dumb router and buy another dumb router to have 2 vlans for cheap :) And regarding the cheap used hardware, that is fine, but you must consider the power usage, older equipment use a lot of electricity, which is not cheap anymore unfortunately...

[@Ramtechbytes]

Yeah I have thought about that and that's why I'm definitely limiting how many pcs I turn into servers etc. I'm glad I inspired you and gave you some ideas. Be sure to subscribe and join the community! We'd love to have you here

I always feel guility when i see people with like 2 or 3 vLans and im over here with like 8

[@Ramtechbytes]

Don't feel guilty trust me I plan on having more as I grow and find a need. I am keeping it simple sense I haven't found a need to have more yet. My awesome sys admin friend has TONS of vlans in his home environment.

[@ColoredBytes]

@@Ramtechbytes That's my friend as well! Ham and I run UniFI stacks and the amount of rules and vLans i forget why i cant access stuff sometimes lol

[@herbyh369]

[@MrJayBee8]

strange that as windows 10 support comes to a close im seeing more home labs and linux videos pop up. Coincidence?

[@Ramtechbytes]

Hmmm good question I never thought about that. I will say I mostly built my lab to get better at IT stuff

[@codewithlarsy]

Bro's it setup is a fucking mcdonalds and kfc servers.

[@Ramtechbytes]

It's helped me learn alot of stuff no need in spending alot in the beginning. I appreciate the laugh you gave me lol
