I'm not sure anyone shares the same glee I feel when I view all the blocked IPs scrolling by in my pFsense firewall. Suricata does a lot of heavy lifting for sure.

What's your selfhosting guilty pleasure or pleasures?

A second guilty pleasure would be looking at my grafana dashboards.

Third guilty pleasure is 10gbit/s fiber network at home.

Well, would you look at Mr Moneybags over here. LOL I wish tho. I just have a 1gbit connection.

Crying in 70Mbps copper.... 15 upload.

Realistically, 1gbit connection is good for uploading and downloading huge architectural plans, but other than that, I rarely use anything close to it's max capacity. It's like having a killer sports car that will go 0 to 60 in a few seconds, but you rarely have the need to do that.

Fact. I only use more then 1gbit/s for file transfers internally between computers or between the server and a computer.

10gbit fiber locally doesn't mean I have this speed to the internet (I'm not).

I bought the server hardware 3 years ago, so when the prices of ram were also fine. Today it's not fun anymore.. I really hope those ram and nvne prices go down again! I can't upgrade anything now.

It's a trade off. Buy older equipment and DDR3 is cheap. I dropped 40 more gb on the server for about $45 USD. The downside is that older equipment is not as energy efficient and as fast as newer equipment.

Ahhhh I do like my grafana dashboards.

My proxmox dashboards make me feel tingly in my no no parts
