Damn, what sort of connection are you running? I feel like you’d be getting throttled, assuming throttling isn’t strictly illegal (side note: genuinely, thank you, People’s Republic of Massachusetts ❤️)
Fiber, 8gbps through Quantum Fiber (part of the Lumen/Centurylink family). No throttling here…
My bottleneck is the vpn that I have to have between me and the world… unfortunately. I only trust specific private trackers to not use it. I actually setup 4 seed boxes (VMs) in my garage to push more data out.
Proxmox cluster… and big storage truenas node.
And a dirty amount of networking… big cables on the right is QSFP, 40gbps 2x in lagg per server.
These pictures were just after a transplant to a new server rack. So everything is off… but the blinkin’ lights are real.
Edit: Didn’t turn off anything before I ran these…
Jfc please make sure that’s hazard proof and don’t get raided. People like you legitimately make the world go round.
So about that… I actually got solar installed on my house and when the “electrician” (subbed out contractor with dubious credentials but was operating under a legit company) ran dedicated breakers for the servers… the junction box caught fire.
That was a fun 2am to wake up at.
But it’s pretty safe now. Have had several master electricians come in and evaluate it all at this point and all of them are happy with it now.
I’m gonna guess incremental increases over the years, and snapping up used enterprise stuff on fire sale. It’s actually pretty feasible to do if you know where to look for this stuff.
