Almost corrupting 64tb of zfs
Updating pfsense is how I completely bricked my 8100. $800 down the shitter. Gonna stick with Ubiquiti edgerouters and Mikrotik from now on.
from opening docker endpoint to public internet to “rm -rf /“ (note the path). I’ve had a lot of nightmare level mistakes in this 5 years of homelabing 😂
Making a RAID 5 array
Biggest mistake: Buying a license for unraid instead of waiting for TrueNAS Scale. 😂😂
Mine is being stuck on pause because of my ADHD. Lab still in disarray of parts
biggest mistake was buying a Dell R710 back in 2018. It was noisy, hot, and power hungry. Took me 2 years to get rid of that thing for peanuts compared to what I paid for it.
I can't easily put it into words, but it involved one of the two hard drives in a BTRFS array failing, and it was the primary drive. I hadn't done a BTRFS balance in many months at that point, and lost almost all of the files, but fortunately was able to combine that with a backup I saved to an external hard drive some months prior (when I was preparing to go on a holiday and would bring one of them as a local cache of my NAS). The few files I did lose were unimportant.
Opening ketchup bottle in my home office / home lab. It went wild and fried the Pi 3 running home assistant .
not a homelab, but a server i worked on before.
I might've dropped and dinged it
Same dude, I started update via GUI but it was taking a lot of time so I had to restart the system and BAMM… its corrupted 🤣🤣🤣
My biggest mistake?
Never had a real issue, used to take care of everything until… Made updates remotely on a Proxmox machine that also virtualizes OPNSense without High Availability configured yet…
Trying to set up my personal pc to be an unraid pc/home lab setup, deleted all of my important data without realizing it and lost nearly a decade of important pictures and documents
I passed through and wrote to the wrong usb in unraid. And without having prophylactics. I learned that day, the power of backups and the importance of not having identical, USB discs, inserted into the machine unless you want to be stupid.
I did broke pfsense twice 😂
Watching @craftcomputing and then as if by some coincidence, watching my bank account get lighter
When i only had one server and manual backups, tried to empty a folder that I was in with rm -rf /*
My biggest mistake was not knowing where to begin! What hardware, software and steps to build a "Home lab".🤦🏿♂️
my biggest mistake was deleting my torrents AND their data. Thought data meant something else.
5TB of files gone in 5 seconds…
Only configuring half the vlans on the a switch that covers a part of my house and months later not being able to figure out why some things worked and others didn’t.
My biggest Mistake: Trying to move my network to IPv6 when none of my antiquated enterprise gear had meaningful support for IPv6.
IPv6 is a bloody nightmare for hardware ~10 years old, even though the standard is ancient, nothing was ever made to work right in that era. Heck even now a lot of software isn't fully compatible.
Probably going down the NAS rabbit hole and jumping from not having one, to having one that is way way overkill
I under no circumstances need a rack mounted Threadripper based NAS in my home with 96TB of available storage
If you haven't inadvertently bricked something thinking "what could this hurt" are you even homelabbing?
installing truenas scale and relying on truecharts
every update includes breaking changes
Not understanding how loud enterprise equipment is.
