Wikipedia backup... but no Solar or generators to run the power for the zombie apocalypse.

8bit guy... I never realized the fact you two sound alike either.... God damn... I found you both years apart and just now after being subbed for a few years I find out your related! Lol

Impressive network you’ve got there!

I didn't know that your brother was the 8-bit guy. thats awesome

Basically, this is just a data center in the household... Wikipedia backup is mind-blowing to me.

your network and your brothers network are at completely different scales damn

Great video sir!! I found your channel like two years ago when I was remodeling my home and now since everything is complete and I’ve had a few months to breathe and I don’t want to start on the automation and wouldn’t you know you come out with a up-to-date video!! Great ideas!! Also I think you did a wonderful job back then and even now and I don’t really understand why people always have to put their two cents in just be happy with what someone is trying to show you that’s it!!! Thank you sir!!

2:38 You: * name-drop of brother's channel * Me: * subscribed *

Damn, i've been subscribed for a while, and it's just now that i found out that you and David are brothers! Everything makes sense now. Impressive setup btw!

So many similarities to my home network it was spooky, nice touch with the old computers in the background, I have a ZX spectrum in my office to remind me where I started

I can see the the Murray Bros. resurrecting digital society with C-64's and Apple-II's after the zombie apocalypse. What a technology tag-team. Great Job! Love both your home networks!

the geek pub I swear at your house is the main headquarters for all this geek pub

You have a ton of gear! Love it. Thanks for the update. Cool to see all those fiber connections in a home setup.

I loved the old network video and this new one makes me very happy! Watching your old video really got me into networking and computers!

Your house is a frigging data center dude! Thank you for the great video and keep up the great content!

I think you need more network stuff

Nice network! I like the attitude toward some of the goofy questions!

I subbed because of this video, you seem a proper gentleman and your content is awesome.... I love your home IT infrastructure! thanks for sharing.

Never put two and two together, but now that you stated it, I can't believe I didn't notice similarities between you and 8-Bit. Instant sub once you mentioned he's your brother!

Dude, by FAR the best home network video I've seen on KZfaq in a long time, thank you for posting. Subscription is earned. Checking out your brother next!

Love the videos and would love to have a home setup like you in the future (looks like I have a lot of studying to do past my Net+ lol). Keep up the good work and I'll continue watching!!!

Oh boy, that is a MASSIVELY cool enterprise-grade setup for a home network! And to think I was so happy with my little home network supported by a couple of linux SBCs and another couple of cheap WAPs... But at least I have a networking rack too 😅

Very impressive setup! I definitely think i’ll be moving to a UniFi type setup with the Access Points, switch and cloudkey. And those Axis camera seem great! I’ve been trying to figure out security options, but its all new to me. Thanks for your information.

I have to admit, when you mentioned you were the 8bit guy's brother that made me hit the subscribe button! :)

Very cool! I'm fascinated by your merger of Apple with other technologies. Most people I've interacted with are either on the firm "Pro-Apple" or "Anti-Apple" bandwagon (with myself being on the latter). It's almost refreshing to see someone who sees the good and the bad and is OK going either way :)

Dude just really casually dropped that 8Bit Guy is his brother... 😂 Love both of y'alls content and it's just funny I never made that connection

Glad to see you made it to 100k subscribers! Always entertaining and educational videos.

Great video, Mike! Be Safe Out There!

DUDE! i heard NILL after the super-micro story! thank you for the update!!!

Wow! You have a great setup there! Nicely done, sir! 👍👍

I have been watching The 8-Bit Guy for years now and can now follow you, to be honest, your set up is what i aspire to have (wife permitting of course), will definitely need to catch up on your videos :D

Wait, you are The 8-bit Guy's brother!? I never knew that! Cool setup, love these videos! Stay safe and healthy!

Nice dude, Your "old" tour was one of the motivators for me to upgrade my network. I chose Unifi as well, LOVE IT. Cable cut and plex'd up as well. It's always a work in progress. I don't have the redundancy that you have though. Kudos.

Nice video. The right amount of tech info and some hilarious situations.

I have some IRL friends who have some nice setups but this kicks the crap out of all of them. Impressed.

my ISP's ONT was installed inside my house, varies between ISPs, cool video!

Nice setup, I also nabbed an XG-16. But I only use it for my storage network. I have Dell access switches and a Cisco 3750X stacked core. Love the AC-pro WAPS. Agree with you 110% they are the best for home use. Thank you for introducing me to Observium. Subbed!

Awesome video! Thank you for all your hard work! Coming from David's channel. Definitely subbed.

That's an awesome setup you've got there!

I’ve been network engineer since 1995 and a CCIE since 2002. This network is beyond overkill. Impressive hardware for how you’re using it, but 100% unnecessary. I can’t imagine how much noise is generated and the heat. Thanks for showing us though.

Content creator & video editor friends of mine are all jumping back onto the Final Cut bandwagon, they are all loving the stability, performance, and ease of use - even more so now when it comes to render performance on their shiny new M1 MacMinis. I personally haven't used Final Cut since like FPCv7 or something like that back in the Leopard & Snow Leopard days... Keen to know more about the heat extraction fan you're using - I have one in my server room - an in-line one I got from Bunnings (leading / major home hardware supplies in Australia) and it does lower the temps by between 5-10c on a standard 20c day. My server room is also much smaller than yours, and also quite packed with a full height rack (top two thirds populated)... Great vid!

You should do a follow up video detailing some do the configuration, I’m specifically interested in how you have your ESXI server configured and how you configured your router and switches

Love this video. Great personality.! I’m just starting my networking career this home setup is my goal .

i wish more people would do network tours i love these so much

Glad to see they got the pool finished from the first video.

Ha ha I love your hat! Keep up the good work that set up looks awesome!

I am about to move into my first house and I am checking out people's setups so I can prepare to build my own while taking as many things I like from the masses creativity. I have been using a server rack for my network management in my apartment, and also to house a ghetto-rig server made from donated old gaming PC parts (circa i7 3rd generation, overclocked). Thank you for the update, as I watched your first video and did have some of these questions. Admittedly, my server isn't virtualized in any way, and it is actually just running Win10 Pro and runs loads of processes for server applications, like Plex, Bitbucket, Teamcity, Octopus Deploy, and hosting ASP.NET web apps when I want to try things out. I have docker installed but haven't really learned how to use it yet... All that is to say, thank you for your videos as they have given me some knowledge and ideas. I am totally going to start VMs at some point, and there is no doubt I will be backing up Wikipedia from now on!

When you started talking i was like why does his voice sound so familiar. Then you said your brother is the 8 bit guy and then it clicked

First time I've come across your channel - loved the tour....and the hat :)

cool. I've been a fan of the 8-bit guy for a long time and only learned recently about your channel as his brother. very interesting video. I'm with you on the whole Final Cut Pro thing. I have PCs but I always need a Mac too because I just find Final Cut Pro X so much more intuitive than any other video software I've tried on the PC.

So we all realize that this guy and 8-bit are brothers but both channels also uploaded a home network update within a similar time frame. coincidence? I think not!!

Great video and great network, congrats!

Wow love your setup.

Excellent content, love your videos.

Love the "Tin-Foil Hat" prop. Excellent video, very informative also.

Can you please make a youtube video going over all of your home automation? I would love to see how everything ties together through homeseer! Great videos!

Very impressive! I'd expect nothing less :)

Awesome setup man. I definitely need to check out that Supermicro box youre using for pfSense.

Great video. Great Explanation. Loved it.

I'd love to see a video on your home security system and how you tied it into your network!

Loved the tour. Thanks very much. I would love to hear more about your PFSense box, but in particular setting up rules, etc. Seems like you have a good balance of secure, but functional. This is hard to find on the internet.

It’s really cool it’s more than we have in many company here in Africa/Mozambique

"VPN connection to my brother's house, the 8bit guy"~ awesome!

Haha! I've done closer to what 8-Bit Guy has, and I commented on your older vid, not knowing he was your brother!!That's too funny! Your gear here is similar to what I have in my set up! Nice work.

thoroughly enjoyed

Very nice setup man.

I loved it and learned a lot thanks sir!!!!!!!

Man I love good networking videos

Like your brother, you have an Ethernet jack on every wall)

University Professor: A power surge has fried ALL of our computers, and the computer shop is closed. Where or who could EVER have ALL the computers the campus needs on such short notice? Random student: That's easy, just buy out TheGeekPub.

Ready for the 2024 update video!

This video just happen to be in my “suggested videos”, love the setup ✊🏾 Until you said so @2:42, I thought that I was listening to The 8-Bit Guy.

Can't wait to get a Geek Pub foil hat in the merch store

that cable mgmt and vertical orientation blows my mind😅 but love the split for secure net and public net, have the same setup

Excellent monitoring software choice! ;)

I would never guess you and the 8 bit guy are brothers! I am following both since 2017 and never thought of it! lol

Thanks for the update! Could you please find the time to make a separate video where you go into detail about your exhaust system? - Thank you!

Very nice work!

I can not believe you have the entire wikipedia, mindblown

LOVE THIS!! Also, how much for your homemade tinfoil hat???

"Just got fed up with Apple" - Tell your brother that next, haha!

i love the ending

This video was badass. 10/10

Nice network, bro!

New subscriber. Love the aluminum hat Q & A at the end. I did hear you say 8-bit guy is your brother? Thanks for posting.

man... u are crazy... love it !

Good video sir !

Foil hat. I love it.

Amazing!!!

After watching the 8-bit guy home network tour I must say I feel a hint of competition going on 😆

You are so great!

Want you to come set up my home network!! Great job!

Dude best shirt ever, I got same one, at warehouse one

I totally get where you are coming from with Final cut Pro. The only reason I'm using DaVinci Resolve is I just can't afford macs anymore and Final cut doesn't run on windows. In the future I might jump down the hackintosh rabbit hole but not anytime soon.

Thank you so much for the great video. Would mind doing one on your media setup and how are able to watch live tv from anywhere in the world. I tried it and failed dismally.

Nice, wish I could do half of the stuff you have on your network.

Would you show us how you used plex to stream your TV Channels? And to go into more detail? I’m really interested in this.

I've been running the Supermicro 5018D-FN8T at home and at work now for about a year. They are both running Untangle with the house running the HomePro license at $50/yr and the work box running the standard 50 device business license. I really like Untangle over pfSense after using both but pfSense works as well and is free.

I've worked a bunch with Axis cams. Really rock-solid, though the documentation on their different view modes was opaque enough that I had to open a couple of tickets and spend a lot of time in the server logs. They run Linux under the hood, and their firmware updates are essentially just disk image files, so you can provision a whole bunch of them remotely via API quite easily. As for your cabling beauty, function trumps beauty every time. As long as airflow isn't affected, you're the only one who has to work on it! How do the Ubiquiti switches handle stacking/clustering? For a home network where uptime isn't a priority, it's not a super-critical thing, but for my home lab, I'm deliberately purchasing two of everything for that purpose.

Hi mate, Very informative and provided some good ideas. Could you provide a ball park on how much the whole system set u back?
