Reolink is what I’m using.

The 4K PTZ is running around 3GB per hour, the 180 degree dual 4K is running about 4.5GB per hour the rest are running around 2.8GB pet hour each.

The plan is to shift it all to my TrueNAS. I’ve got a VM setup so I can pass the Google Coral and an ARC A310 through.

I’m in the process of shifting all my data from my currently full pool to a new one and then will be repurposing a couple 4TB drives as striped mirrors with a pair of 240GB D3-S4510’s mirrored for metadata to act as the storage point. I’m currently running four 1080p cameras, a 4K ptz, and a dual 4K 180 degree stitched view camera with six 4K fixed cameras to be added along with a 4K PTZ and another 180 dual 4K. The ARC 310 will be used mainly for camera stream processing and a couple cameras object recognition the Coral will handle the rest.

Then my main desktop will be free for everything else.

Looks like a crane fly to me.

Switched from a 1080ti myself in March to a 9070xt. Got it during a sale with a free 800 watt PSU and Crimson Desert.

I don’t game that much anymore but edit video on the same machine.

Only issue is I am using the same machine for FrigateNVR right now and it was a pain to get the Gasket-dkms driver and new kernel/drivers going as I was time constrained. I don’t recommend changing a gpu when you are leaving for 3 weeks and need your cameras working.

Nope. I can eat a burger at other places without issue.

I actually quit eating there over 15 years ago which is before I started traveling. Got tired of having hydro-dynamic gastrointestinal expulsion after eating.

A VPS is barely self hosting.

Monit is free and super lightweight

Shilling your paid service is not participating in a community.

There can be multiple things at play but one thought it’s you may be hardware constrained. This is not limited to just your server but also how you are connecting. If you are using a budget cell phone with a bunch of things installed and running it will get slower. If you use a bunch of social media apps disable them before starting a test so they are not running in the background or eating into your connection.

Another is it sounds like you are using your Tailscale connection to then reach out through your regular connection to a speedtest. So you’re using the same connection with multiple data streams at the same time. You will be limited to your slowest speed when sending data to or from a server through you tailscale connection to the internet so give up on that 109Mb/s. You also have to take into account what your connecting devices speed is, if you are on cellular with an 18Mb/s connection that is your top speed.

Finally instead of running a speed test to the internet, spin up an instance of openspeedtest on a computer that is not hosting your tailscale connection and test to there. When you are starting to setup a homelab it can be useful to have an in house speedtest anyway.

But with a few million investment you can design and build as a startup. It won’t compete with Nvidia or AMD to begin with but the potential is there.

It’s looking more and more like Nvidia and amd are going to chase they data center/AI processing cash cow. With an initial investment of 10 million a company could start up and within 20 years be a market leader if they dedicate catering to gamers and the gaming landscape would shift drastically to function with their hardware even if the ai/processing centric hardware is removed.

You don’t need $500 million to start a GPU company; you need $500 million to mass-manufacture a 3nm desktop card. If you use a few million dollars to design a brilliant, streamlined graphics architecture, you can prove it works on virtual hardware, license it to console makers, or use an older, affordable manufacturing node to serve the millions of gamers that NVIDIA is abandoning to chase AI profits.

Nvidia is chasing the data center hardware market and will continue to do so to make their investors happy. In doing so they will create a vacuum in the consumer market with AMD and Intel likely to follow. History has shown that when a vacuum is created a new company will step in to fill the void created and a lean team with an efficient design and the drive to serve the people can succeed.

Companies chase the money. Nvidia was never for gamers, it was for investors and gaming just happened to be where the money was. Now it’s not and people are realizing the truth of it all. To corporations we are nothing other than disposable profit margins. If the corporations can find a better profit elsewhere they will gladly do so. It’s been that way for a while.

Friends…

I would rather watch women’s tennis or a fishing show. I don’t fish, I don’t play tennis.

C/linuxsucks comes to mind…

FrigateNVR is a bit of a pain but has worked great with all my Reolink camera’s. I also link them into HomeAssistant. I have one 4K PTZ camera, four 1080p fixed cameras, and one dual 4K lens 180 degree view camera all POE powered and hooked into both FrigateNVR and HomeAssistant.

I use a Quanta LB6M for 10G backbone and a Dell PowerConnect 5548 for Ethernet with a pair of DAC cables linking the two with my router and server connected via OM3 to the LB6M.
