A real-world production migration from DigitalOcean to Hetzner dedicated, handling 248 GB of MySQL data across 30 databases, 34 Nginx sites, GitLab EE, Neo4j, and live mobile app traffic — with zero downtime.
I think I’m at a family of four or five, but I’m alone with my dogs and my weed and my servers. Being able to legally self-host your own drug supply is great.
This is why im doing my homelab on low powered processors (5825u NAS boards). Runs way cooler and is way more efficient. Same performance as my 9900kf gaming PC cpu wise.
That’s fair. I have a 6800xt in my pc and I use that for my llm.
That said, I think I’m slightly misleading you. My current setup is not a 5825u. It’s my old laptop with an i7-8550u. I’m going to move it to the 5825u soon.
My solar covers more than my entire electric bills in the mild weather months.
I was thinking of moving to more modern systems with modest power consumption too. One of the systems I picked up is basically a case-as-a-heatsink with no fans.
My electric bill last month was $15. It eventually is financially worth it.
Don’t know how hard you went on your home lab, I use office rather than datacenter equipment and it’s quite and plenty for my needs. For my professional test/dev needs I have such equipment at work, so I don’t need to home train on gear for the sake of competence in the field.
15 bucks is impressive, yes…i just currently don’t care very much for the bills. Dunno even if solar would be great here, we’re not on the overly sunny side 😁
I don’t work (and never really did), so home is all there is. Office surely is enough most of the time, especially considering I wouldn’t want to pay license fees or be online with stuff. Professional stuff can be pretty shitty in that regard. So I use whatever fits my criteria best.
It grew more and more to be honest, and it already comes close to be a part-time job that costs money and has no salary 😑
How does running a server, assuming it’s used some amount of internet bandwidth, handle residential internet speeds? If I’ve got a gig up and down, can I reasonably run like a jellyfin for my friends?
My isp hasn’t complained. I have fiber at my house and symmetrical gigabit. You should be fine if you transcode to reduce bandwidth needed as you still use your own internet. But I’m not running jellyfin on my home server.

I was running it on a couple hundred Mbps up for a while, and gig up is fine
