I’ve given this a read.
https://homelabstarter.com/homelab-networking-basics/
Covers the basics, explains them well & technically, and points to “further learning”.


I’d start with learning some networking basics.
Subnets, default gateways, DNS, routes, VLANs.
Then get another computer to install proxmox on.
Learn VMs, SSH, firewalls, basically Linux. Probably VPNs as well.
Then set up a VM and play with docker & docker-compose.
And that’s most of the tooling to be able to self host anything. A VM with docker, set up the docker compose of what you want, boom: done.
Some projects are more of a “full of” kinda thing (like home assistant), which would be its own VM


Yeh, exactly.
And the “dynamic DNS” part handles your public IP address changing with 0 pain.
You either buy a domain (like example.com), or there are free domain name providers that give you a subdomain (like mycooldomain.example.com) of one of their domains.
You then run an additional service on your home server that checks what the current public IP address is. If it changes, it notifies the DNS responsible for your domain/subdomain, which then points to your new public IP.
To connect to your VPN, you only ever care about “mycooldomain.example.com” and never the underlying IP address.
…
As long as your ISP isn’t running CG-NAT of course 😵💫


Yeh, 30ms is still inside the haas delay.
If you are a professional listener (sound engineer, musician, dancer) then you can probably perceive it (in a similar way that eyes theoretically only need 25fps, but 60/120/144 is noticeably better).
In 30ms, sound can travel 10 meters.
So, if you’ve ever had a conversation with someone across a classroom, you’ve had a conversation with 30ms latency.
For data, 30ms is 8100 km for electricity over copper, or 6000km for light over fibre.
Meaning 30ms over fibre (considering no transmission delays) would be roughly the direct distance between US and UK.
So yeh, 30ms is nothing
It’s not really the wattage that’s an issue.
If it ran at 600 volts, it would only be 1 amp.
But at 12v, it’s 50 amps of current.
Which is a lot.
And it’s not massively peaky/bursty, so it needs to withstand that constantly.
Pretty sure something like 10-15mm² cross section of copper is needed for that, which is a thick cable.
But, this is also a problem that has been solved elsewhere. For whatever reason, manufacturers have settled in a terrible solution.
