Hi, New user here

Hi,

I just joined Tech Enclave. Interested in Tech things mostly. I usually follow telecomtalk and broadband forum for my networking news and troubleshooting.

Hobbies include reading, tinkering with homeserver, self hosting, etc

Hoping to engage myself for a while here. Cheers.

Hey, @privateer, welcome to TE. It's great to have more homelabbers join. Care to share your setup?

Welcome fellow homelabber!
If you're a data hoarder, there are threads for 10+ TB drives in the forum

Networking : Ubiquiti set up, replacing Asus router. Was considering Omada+ N100 opnsense, but that didn't pass spouse approval rating.
Homeserver : compact 10L server (ASUS prebuilt) - 12100 32GB DDR4 20TB WD drive. Sits in a nightstand beside the bed, again, can't upgrade to a bigger setup even though I have 2 more 18TB drives, to maintain spouse approval ratings. Runs *arr stack and some general purpose stuff.
A Gaming PC : Usual Ryzen + Nvidia stuff, though I no longer play as much
A couple mini PCs for some tinkering projects. Eventually, I am hoping to replace a couple VPS and start running an immich instance and the likes.

I am tempted with the bigger drive offers, considering i bought my drives at Rs 2000/TB, but I have no place to put them. I am eyeing a Fractal Design Node 804 case, but that design hasn't been updated in so long. And anyway, it wouldn't fit the nightstand
