First time poster, long time yada yada. Hello everyone.
There has to be a better way to ask for help. Currently, I want to ask for help on something very specific.. something I think only the LTT community could really help me on. It's networking, speed, NAS, ESXi virtualization, open source vs paid, a "do this or do that" question.
In terms of there being a better way I mean in the way I lay out my problem. I think there should be a huge database of "things"/"nodes" (ex: Logi MX Keys, Dell UP3218K) and then "connections"/"lanes" between the nodes like [Logi MX Keys] -> Bluetooth (or Unity) -> [Belkin Dock].
Then I could just load up my entire "schema" of my setup, and then just ask the question I really want to ask which is: "Why the f*** is my QNAP <node>TLD800S NAS</node> with <node>RAID 6+1</node> with <node drives> only transferring at max 250MB/sec to my <node>TL800DC</node> external expansion bay?"
The question would be simple because all the details about setup and specifications are already filled out. Currently 250MB/sec is plenty fast for my home setup, I'd love for it to be faster, but I opened Google and was about to start searching, then I thought about LTT Forum and about how daunting it would be to ask and go back and forth with community members with varying levels of understanding to get to my eventual need. I think maybe badges would be cool for the community, like "FreeBSD Developer" and "PHP Expert" and "BGP Expert" would be nice too.. because then I'm not taking advice from a 14 year old who has never had any real world experience other than his 2023 Macbook Air.
Anyhow.. my post is more to pose the question if anyone likes my idea. I think it's great. My first thought goes to something like an internet marketing click routing diagram like the one attached. You create nodes, groups, connect those groups with weights (or speeds, or connection type). I intentionally made the screenshot suck because I didn't want to reveal info, and I was too lazy to open photoshop.
Happy new year!
