I've had a lot of updates happening in the homelab. I've replaced the T620 with an R740, expanded my storage for both HDD and NVME pools. Also did a little min-maxing on the hardware to help separate traffic, decrease some latency and jitter for internet traffic and introducing IDS
There are a lot of additions and modifications, but I guess the other big one is setting up a Dell Precision 5820 with XCP-NG as a studio and prototyping rig. Replaced Ansible with AWX, added some more VMs and migrated others but in all that I've updated the diagrams as well! Will say that XCP-NG offers up the flexibility and performance that I've needed so far. Would love to try out the XOSTOR storage at some point but will have to move around my entire setup haha.
