Hi all, I am currently in the fun project of cleaning up and sorting out my homelab. I am running proxmox and it has a lot of configuration. E.g. bridges, DDNS, certs, machines, nfs mounts via fstab, and some custom scripts for NFS mounts after OMV VM has started, potentially something else. All that is just handcrafted and in case of host failure I will need to start from scratch.
One good thing i took care of VMs/LXCs backups to a remote host.

The question is - How do you keep that all recoverable , do you use git or document your changes? what would be a good strategy to comeback to operations as soon as possible?

Hi there, I am a homelabber with years of playing around. I want to organize my homelab networking a bit cleaner so that it is easier to manage.

I have few networks WAN, LAN, few Tunnels(VPN,IPsec, WireGuard), WIFI, DMZ.

Currently I use 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x and 192.x.x.x in a not very structured way, don't ask me how I came up with using those, it is a growing system over many many years where i just wanted to keep things as they were.

What i am thinking is to do the following:

- LAN I would use 10.x.x.x
- Tunnels 172.x.x.x.x
- WIFI 192.x.x.x

IS it a good idea, will I run to some conceptual problem, e.g. some other type of network would not fit in either of those categories breaking the concept?

As I am not an expert myself meaning may not see any pitfalls, I asked AI for a suggestion.

And it suggested:

It seems it prefers using 192 address space combining both LAN and WIFI + Management network, is it a good practice ? Also, not sure I want to have NAS in a separate network as I will need to pass traffic through the router to reach it.

How do you do it ? In addition, what if you had another lab connected via a tunnel to that one. How would you arrange networks there , e.g. what would be for example LAN then, e.g 192.168.11.0/24 or for that reason you would rather use 172.16.10.x in lab1 and 172.17.10.x in lab2 ?

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

thanks for any suggestions.

Hi there, i am trying to selfhost MediaCMS. Has somebody been successful with running mediaCMS on an n100 +proxmox + passthrough of the integrated GPU. I managed to get transcodding done by GPU, but when I play the videos they are shuttering. Googling and talking to AI did not bring successful results only some remote hints i have no clue what to do about.

Hi there fellow Italians, I am trying to understand if I can get from Riva del Garda to Verona. The challenge is I have two bikes and one kid and I am not sure I would be able to easily reach Verona by public transport. Google suggests to go to Rovereto by bus #B332 and then take REG16701. I am not sure if either of those two allow bikes and if I need to make any reservations upfront. Can somebody help me to figure it out ? I would highly appreciate it.

thanks in advance big times.

Hi there, I had a long ultra and just by chance decided to take with me a drop of squirt chain lube, originally thought 500km would be fine on a fresh wax. And i didn't regret i did. First it was raining for 3 hours, after that I managed to get a lot of sand on the chain (was also able to wash it off almost immediately). Once the rain stopped and the chain dried, it was sounding as if it lost all its wax. I applied the lube i had with me. I did it two times during the ride. Now the chain is all dirty. I gave it a water wash and also with some Ferry. It is still as dirty as it was. It needs deep cleaning now, i don;t even know what is inside it.
Do I now do the cleaning as if it was a chain from a shop with factory grease and wax it after that i also suspect that I should not cycle to much before rewaxing it once again ?
How do you deal in such situations in general ?

thanks for any input

Hi there. I have caad10 and want to do 500km ride. I want to as ultralight and compact as possible. I will also have a section where there is going to be no watter refill for many hours. I already have two 710ml bottles on the bike. For now I prepared maltodextrin with sugar in 90g packaging. So I can easy drop it into bottles on each refill. But I now have an idea to actually mix like 500g of it into one of the 710ml bottles and then just add it to two other bottles as I go. And later at night I would fill all bottles with water. So, there are two question:

1. is it a good idea to mix 500g of powder into 710ml bottle?
2. where could I place the third bottle? On top of upper tube closer to the seat post or under the down tube?

Thanks for any input.

edit: I am doing it under 24h.

Hi, I have caad 10 from 2014 and it has those metal like chain rings from FSA. when i search for such, I don't find any and only option is to have those black painted.
Did somebody have to go through such change on their caad ?

Hi fellows, I have cs-R6800 ultegra 11-28, it started skipping and I am in the search for the new one. I checked current prices and they are not pretty. I am thinking of downgrading to R7000 instead of getting R8000. The price difference is 20 euros. According to google the cogs are practically the same it is only spacers and the frame on which big cogs are mounted that are different which makes r8000 about 25g lighter. Is it worth 20 euros at all ? Any thoughts ?

After I wax my chain it gets very hard. As soon as i start using it, it only lasts 15 mins before it gets completely soft. I have heard that for real KOMs it must stay hard, I don't know what to do. Also for very long rides like ultras do you then need to lube it so it does not get too dry? The wice's bf says its the reason she does not ride with me. Any tips?

I noticed that if the temperature is relatively low e.g. +10°C, I get the urge to pee every single hour. I do consume as much water as when it is warm because I have the carbs mix and dont want it to be too concentrated to get gut issues. If the weather is warm I may cycle 5h+ without needing to stop at all.

Do you get the same or do you change something when you ride in cold conditions?

Hi there pals,
I did many self supported rides that lasted in general under 26h and in that case i did not need to do the change of the cycling kit. However, I want to try a 1000km ride self supported and I am not sure what to do with the kit. Do you guys carry the second set ? I expect to ride it in 3 days(2 nights) or in general something like under 60hours. It seems that transition from under 25hours vs beyond is very big and different things become important that one can ignore for rides under 25hours or so. what else do you change in your preps for such rides ?

any input is highly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi all, I have just come back from the rest week. Some may remember I posted a question about my 3x15 @ FTP where it felt really hard : link .
I have now started a new block after the rest with 3x15 @ FTP again. It was now way better than the one from the last block. The breathing was more controlled, the HR was lower, so I can really conclude that last time it was hard because it was end of the block.
As I felt strong this time, I for the last interval decided instead of 15mins to do full 20 and put more effort without blowing out. I ended up with average 15w higher than for the intervals last time. Based on that intervals.icu gives me new FTP. As it was done during the last interval I think that 20mins is representative of my actual FTP if I subtract 5%, provided that i was even slightly conservative to the effort and might have pulled few more watts on top ?

thanks for all the input last time and any input this time.

Hi there caad owners. I have caad 10 and it is a bit annoying I have 11-25 and I always need to start from cross chain position 50/25 and my city speed is also between 25 and 19 teeth. I was thinking if that would be possible to upgrade to 12 speed group set so that I could at least have one extra gear that would be 28. Simply using 11-28 on 11 speed setup is not ideal as it leads to big gaps i dont like.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

I cycle a lot around Berlin as a training and normally go outside of Berlin for long rides. However, for my intervals training the only place that really fits perfectly is Tempelhof, it has that perfect 6km round and a very wide runway. Every year I see those posts on reddit that developers are pushing hard to get grip on the field to build apartments and it makes my stomach sick when i think we may lose that privelage of training in THF. I understand we are not the majority here to make the difference and if we were most probably would not make the difference either.

The question is, were would we train then or where do you already train intervals if you don't even go to THF?
