I thinkthat changes to the digital world will be coming about in rather short order, at least if I have anything to say about it, that is. Honestly, that's one of the most prominent reasons why I run server infrastructure at home. Sure, my open source org is an actual company, but even without the LLC behind the name, wouldn't matter all that much, considering even though I work in IT, as well day in and day out, i don't have control. At home, I've got all control in the universe.
@cambridgeport90 what does your home server topology look like?
@twdockery I have a single server for right now, though that's going to be changing here in the not too distant future. He's a PowerEdge T110, and he's attached to a 1U Ubiquiti USG Pro, and on top of her is a UniFi US-24. I also have two laptops, both Latitudes; Tam is a Latitude D630 I saved from the garbage, while Rand is my main Latitude E6540. Will be also getting a Dell OptiPlex 5050 desktop, as well, along with a Sangoma S500 VOIP phone ... so yeah, I've sort of got it going on.
@twdockery My one server, right now he's running Hyper-V with one dinky little domain controller (active directory) on him, but he will be a file server and actually use the space he has once I figure out the situation with my second unit (either a Dell powerEdge R420, or my friend's existing supermicro). The second unit will have a bunch of random stuff; domain controller/DNS server, DHCP server, and then other odds and ends; mostly dev stuff for the development side of mine and my friend's org. If you need to DMZ some XP systems, then you ought to get a switch like I have and create a VLAN with the router in the middle to ensure that both networks can communicate with each other.
