- Slow desktop after years of useI almost always check ram and processor first I think anything under an i5 (or Core 5 now-a-day) is not really worth the trouble (the generation also matters here). The other thing is I see a lot of p...
- What is RAID, and is it a backup? Do I need it with one drive?I agree that RAID is not a backup, its a safety net for if you have hardware failures.
I think the main difference that isn't always explained well is that RAID is like an instant copy across X amoun...
- Nov 6 What plans do you have for your homelab this weekend?I really need to get some more videos made.
- Split-horizon DNS at home> **RackGhostDwayne** (#1):

I may be a bit confused by this but this is what I would do for my local records and then forw...
- Trunking VLANs Between Two Vendors: Checking the Native VLAN on Both Ends> **RackGhostDwayne** (#1):

> The problem: you connect a trunk between two switches from different vendors, the tagged VLANs mostly work, and then something odd shows up. One VLAN leaks into another...
- Refurbished or new business desktopWe used to (and sometimes I think they still do) have a client that would go and get their own referbs from Microcenter. Once we gave them some guidelines I think they got better but I know initially...
- Docker DesktopI use docker desktop on my Mac and Windows. Its really just a GUI interface. Honestly I think I started with desktop back before I ever ran anything on linux (but I could be wrong about that as one of...
- Selling my old phonePersonally I've never sold a phone, I tend to keep mine until they die... But I would think a full reset would be plenty.
- Running Wires> **SamTinkers** (#2):
>
> I'd probably pick just one run and call that the whole project for now
The problem with that is if you're running one you may as well run more (or at least put some pull st...
- Deciding what to alert on> What is the one alert that has actually caught a real problem for you before a user noticed?
Disk space and RAID issues, sometimes ping alerts but we have most of those set to 6 minutes to keep us...
- Finding a duplicate IP addressHonestly I do my best to not have un-managed switches in place these days (especially since managed switches are so much more affordable).
- What's the simplest first thing to do with an unused PiYes you would need a sd card, and a charger I've never used one but I think most take a micro usb? Personally I would start with something like PiHole it kind of gives you the basics of some networkin...
- Nov 2 What did you get done last weekend?The big win this weekend was finishing the first pass of the tools section. It still needs some polish, but it's a solid start, and I'm happy to have it up.
- Which Linux terminal commands should a Windows person learn first?I think if you're looking for the first 10 commands, it would be
```bash
cd
ls
cat
tail
touch
nano -- is the easiest imo but vi or vim are good too
systemd -- specifically start | stop | status | re...

- Simple way to back up my PCThis really depends on what you are looking to restore. Are you looking to be able to restore it to 100% of what you have now (e.g. do you want all of your applications and everything)? If you're just...
- How I Structure Docker Compose Stacks on a Proxmox VM, and Where It HurtsI tend to run multiple docker hosts or via K8s though I'm still pretty new to docker / containers in general.
For secrets wouldn't something like bitwarden secrets manager work?

- A Patch Panel Labeling Convention That Still Makes Sense in Five YearsI walk into so many networks and see bad labelling. Its kind of crazy how many networks out there are labelled bad. We only work with vendors that label good (we don't run cable internally anymore).
- Oct 26 What did you get done last weekend?I got a good portion of the website done and then also started work on [Labs](https://labs.itbible.org). I'm kind of excited about the future.
- How do you spend your free time?Most of this year I've spent outside. I went and climbed a mountain (really it was a hike). I plan to do it again in the future. Something about taking the time to disconnect is something I think we a...
- What is your take on AI in IT?I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I've been using various AI tools to help be more productive and I think my original message still stands but I still see a lot of people using it for not so...
- Oct 24 What plans do you have for your homelab this weekend?I'm not really working on anything specific to my homelab but I am working on the website this weekend.
