Yeah, I’ve become the unpaid IT guy for the whole family and even some of my mom’s friends. It has taught me to deal with some very weird glitches in layer 8 and 9

This is a guide about how to configure ILO2 and how to access it from different devices.

I had this problem and solved it but realized there isn’t a lot of information about it so I decided I’d document my fix

Oh, the diagram is my planned setup. Sorry

This is beautiful… What are you using your homelab for?

I see development environments and a lot of virtualized stuff, is it just for learning/FAFO?

I love that! If you don’t pay my bills is not your problem how power hungry they run.

I have an ML370 G5 and getting it to run has been so fun.

I want to run an IRC chat and a virtual assistant so I’ll probably run those in an Ubuntu server VM

An uncensored LLM, transcoding Linux ISOs and some image processing for the microscope.

Absolute pipe dream:

A single rack, not even the big fridge sizes ones (I think they’re 48u I’m not sure but I’ve seen them on this sub) but one of the crash cart sized ones (I think it’s 12u). A couple current generation 1u servers, hardware firewall running OPNSense, wired mesh APs and VoIP phones around the house, symmetrical gigabit internet, static IP, GPU server, UPS and a rack mounted console just for aesthetics, a little desk for tinkering. Motorized microscope. (Bear in mind this is “winning the lottery” level wild, just the microscope and GPU server are probably more expensive than an SUV)

Something realistic:

Hardware firewall running OPNSense, 2 APs, mini computer with I9 processor and GPU for virtualization, 300mb Internet, maybe a Jetson Nano and a little IKEA desk for tinkering, static IP. My current microscopes
