My self-hosted home setup
Dedicated wifi for automation allows me to have devices such as Xiaomi Vaccuum, or security camera not phoning home. OpenWRT with good firewall rules completely isolate my "public" containers/VMs from my lan.
Server was built over time, disk by disk. I'm now aiming to buy only 12TB drives, but I got to sacrifice the first two as parity...
I just love the simplicity of snapraid / mergerfs. Even if I were to loose 3 disks (my setup allows me the loss of 2 disks), I'd only loose data that's on these disks, not the whole array. I lost one drive once, recovery went well and was relatively easy.
I try to keep things separated and I may be running a bit too many containers/vms, but well, I got resources to spare :)

For the stupid among us, what’s the purpose of the switch?
Maybe the ISP router only has one port?
That would be a smart idea for the ISP. Sell a 5 gigabits fiber connection but force the customer to use their router which comes with a single gigabit port
Indeed, the isp router only has 1x 2.5gbps and 2x 1gbps. I wanted both my pc and my server to have 2.5gbps to wan, and I wanted 2.5gbps between them too
So it's someone like Iliad
They sell a 5 gbit fiber but they force their router, and it only has 2x 1 gigabit ports, and 1 2.5 gigabit ports. Most people only use wifi, so they pay for 5 gbit, but use 150 mbit, lol
(in their defence, for the price they offer this bandwidth (only 20 euro per month), i'm ok with that)
