Yeah I think that this would help immensely by going with a smaller 10gb switch for the “core” network and then having all the lower bandwidth needs on larger switches. I think that’ll end up with a better experience overall.

I’m certainly not against anything. After doing some more searching and looking I’m realizing that for the vast majority of my network, 1g speeds are fine. It’s the truenas and proxmox hosts that I really want to have 2.5/5/10g speeds.

So I think I could get away with something like an 8port 10g switch that I have as the storage layer and then use my 1g switches for all else.

If I’m thinking this through properly, if my opnsense router is on one of those proxmox nodes and is connected at 10g speed, then the router no longer becomes the bottleneck for like 90%+ of my vlan traffic because most of it is going between those nodes above.

I’ll take a look at the microtik and see what might fit the bill.

Thank you

Maybe. Maybe not. The couple times I’ve reached out to admins directly I’ve gotten no responses :(

Man I’m lame.

Used to be {env}-function##

Now it’s {env}-{vlanlocation}-function##

VLAN location such as DMZ, Infra, Jump for jump boxes, IOTSec or IOTInsec, Etc

So I was trying to get the syntax highlighting correct and when googling I came across a GitHub issue where someone said an old Lenny instance had syntax highlighting but it was a custom theme or something and Lenny at the time didn’t support it.

Then about a year and half ago the Lenny devs added native support for syntax highlighting.

Well, I can’t seem to find the original GitHub request for Lenny but the requester referenced either heapoverflow.info or heapoverflow.ml

Thanks for this! I wasn’t aware of this and appears that it was added because another popular instance had it but went down and never came back, leaving a massive gap in functionality.

Thank you for the suggestions! I’ve updated the post with your recommendations and tried to make things more clear. If there’s anything else you find is wrong or should be included, please let me know!

I actually have my instance already setup with Lemmy Federate and it seems to be doing some work :)

Yeah, I’m aware that the router is becoming the bottleneck. I’ve been looking into either: getting a Layer 3 switch that can do inter-vlan traffic (such as my NAS to all my proxmox hosts without going through the router) OR setting up my router with 2x 1Gig Ethernet ports in LAGG to the core switch. I haven’t had the balls to do that yet, same reason I’ve struggled with removing vlan 1 default, because it breaks the networking gear when I do :(

The network ports are locked down to specific VLAN tags if they have a single client on that port OR have a group of clients that are all going to be on the same VLAN. I really haven’t looked into vxlan tags though.
