Hey, I'm driz. There probably is not much of interest here!
I’m currently working on:
- Upgrading my primary PC, it was built in 2016 with only a couple GPU and a single PSU upgrades since
- prepping to move from 10Gbps to 40Gbps in my home network (why not?)
- Current network overview
- 20Gbps port channels from access switches to the collapsed core switch
- 10Gbps to my desktop
- 20Gbps port channels to the servers
- 2.5Gbps from the core switch to the WAN edge
I’m currently learning:
- Ribbon Communications' suite of applications
- Hoping to work time for learning K8s into my schedule
Ask me about:
- VoIP
- networking
- home automation
- docker
- linux
- more...
How to reach me:
Probably easiest on the Linuxserver.io Discord
