Day 48 of #100daysofhomelab and I have been out of commission for the last couple of days… Havnt been well… cold and flu-like symptoms, but luckily, not Covid… Haven’t done a major amount, so it’s mostly links for today, but I did try a few projects and installed them. Links for those are below.

• Linux 6.2: The first mainstream Linux kernel for Apple M1 chips arrives | ZDNET
• UniFi OS – Dream Machines 2.5.16 | Ubiquiti Community
• AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Linux Performance Review – Phoronix
• paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx: A community-supported supercharged version of paperless: scan, index and archive all your physical documents (github.com) I’ve been using this for scanning and archiving papers and PDF invoices that get sent to me. Trying to get it more automated, but working well so far.
• ytti/oxidized: Oxidized is a network device configuration backup tool. It’s a RANCID replacement! (github.com) Using this to back up my Mikrotik configs. It is meant to work with EdgeSwitches, but so far, just gets an error when running… More digging is required.

Day 46 of #100daysofhomelab and I haven’t had much time to work on the homelab this weekend, but have had some time using it, somewhat indirectly… Plex, Netflix and Disney Plus streaming, etc. Internet is more stable (but not 100%… more messing on that part soon) and the RB5009 is definitely more stable (IPv6 BGP is currently off, and only using 5 of my 14ish BGP sessions I could use… I think 1Gb RAM is struggling, or my filters are wrong… Hopefully, it’s a filter thing, that way I can sort it out without new hardware.
