Home Server Racks and Ubiquiti

I went back to IPV4. Man IPV6 must be a nightmare for network admins. Trying to track down an internal IP must be hair pulling. I know there are a few advantages somewhat to it, but I don’t know if the headache is worth it.
 
Well I finally did it, ordered an 8u 10inch mini server rack, patch panel, and accessories. Finally going to get all my networking stuff organized.
 
Put together my GeeekPi 8u min rack today. I must say the company packaged it very nicely and even included all the tools as well. Make sure to follow the instructions and everything will go just fine. I am still waiting for a couple of more panel and cables to come before I can complete it. But so far impressed with the quality.
 
At one time, the Raspberry Pi was an affordable mini-computer. They were never powerhouses, but they were cheap and could run basic Linux distros, etc. I don't know what happened, but they are wayyyyy expensive anymore. I think I picked up a few Raspberry Pi 4s for cheap. Now they are the price of a regular computer. It's a shame.

 
Got a lot of my rack put together, my Nas looks sweet in it. Hooked up the PoE switch and got a few things flowing though. It got too late and I couldn’t find a power adapter for a device. Still need to clean up wiring, but I had to hook everything back up temporarily since the kids and wife were complaining about no internet (for 10 minutes God forbid)
 
Sweet, looks like they are finally bringing client-side encryption in January 2027. That will be the end of Synology for me after they add that.
