Time is money, and my 5+ year old desktop is costing me a heap of it right now. The final straw has come when processing several terabytes of stealer logs which has taken forever. Meanwhile, Stefan has been flying through them with a massive NVMe drive on a fast motherboard.

So, in no particular order, here's what I need it to do:

Read and write multi-terabyte files fast
Run SQL Server locally for both development and querying of large data sets (the latter is especially memory intensive)
Dev environment is largely Visual Studio, SSMS and other (less intensive) tools
Run a gazillion simultaneous Chrome tabs 😛

And here's my current thinking:

A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins

This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.

Let’s begin.

First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:
