NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 announced with 8GB GDDR6, $249 price, launching mid-to-late July
Low profile, no external power and single slot would be awesome for a Minisforum ms-01 or ms-a2, but I guess we're stuck with Frankenstein cards if we really want that.

fiber7 25gbit with 10gbit hardware
sfp+ and sfp28 have same form factor but internals are different. Unifi now sells 25gbps capable appliance, it's plug and play otherwise buy Minisforum MS-01 with Mellanox ComnectX-4 Lx and install Opnsense. Both are trivial

I documented the most common Proxmox mistakes I made (so you don't have to)
And I thought I was paranoid, when I replaced the external PSUs of 4 Minisforum MS-01 with something better the moment I got them. (this also means I have the original PSUs as spares if one dies).

Recommendation for Proxmox Server
Minisforum MS-01 Why this over the MS-A2? This has intel iGPU great for plex emby etc. Also you can use SR-IOV and slice the iGPU up and pass a slices to different VMs. You can do this with the AMD iGPU. I this box you get 3xNVMe 2xSFP+ Low profile PCIe slot (great for small gpu or HBA and run a who

Eu de ex am pus un minisforum ms-01 cu proxmox/opnsense, ca router, si un minisforum ms-a2 cu 128gb ddr5/12tb nvme tot cu proxmox pt gazduit diverse servicii. Am ales modelele astea pt ca au 2x2.5 + 2x10g sfp, consuma putin, stocare buna, poti pune si un intel arc pt encode in jellyfin etc.

Do people here love over-engineering their self-hosting setups?
My minisforum ms-01 can do all that. And more powerful. If you get a MINISFORUM N5 Pro AI NAS you can replace your PC and NAS all in one.

Best local lab setup to learn Sysadmin from scratch + Best Debian box for Vagrant + KVM?
I would start by NOT using your main desktop. Pickup a second system or mini PC. I personally use a couple Minisform NAB9 i9 64GB systems for this with my son as I teach him. Bought those a few years ago. Today.. I’d highly suggest looking hard at the Minisforum MS-01 & i9-13900H. For ram I’d focus

Made up to see the £499 tumble dryer I've been eyeing up on "sale" with £200 off! Just a shame that is actually £479 now - thanks Currys!
Keep an eye on r/homelabsales and r/hardwareswapuk if you’re not already, they usually go cheap. Or, if you fancy treating yourself for Christmas, I got a minisforum MS-01 a while back and it’s been great.

Thinking about buying GMKtec Mini PC Workstation (i9-13900HK, 64 GB DDR5, 1 TB SSD) — anyone here own it / return it? Thoughts?
Not sure how the thermal and noise but spoiler -> some harsh words below~ Looks to me It's cheaper Minisforum MS-01 copy but lacking all those criteria that makes MS-01 an MS-01. Too many I/Os has been skimmed off to the point that it has no advantage over an cube size Mini PC. You can easily find a

What to do with a Dell PowerEdge R720?
To each their own. I'm not in Europe. I'd run this server all day if it was my entry point to selfhosting. I'd happily pay $42/mo in power to offset the costs of streaming solutions alone and then migrate to more power effective solutions over the course of time. Further, hardware prices are prepost
