  • I have a rack in my garage.

    My advice, keep it simple, keep it virtual.

    I dumpster dove for hardware and run proxmox on hosts. Not even clustered, just simple stand alone proxmox hosts. Connect to my Synology storage device and done.

    I run next cloud for webDav contacts and calendar (fuck Google), it does photo and do. Storage. The next client is free from F-Droid for Android and works on debian desktops like a charm.

    I run Minecraft server

    I run home automation server

    I run a media server.

    Proxmox backs everything up on schedule

    All I need to do is get off-site backup setup for Synology important data and I’m all set.

    It’s really not as hard as you think if you keep it simple





  • Not if you are taking a nice leisurely ride by yourself around rolling hills and the occasional butterfly.

    No I’m talking about riding a bike into town with a dozen other riders, pedestrians who dont look, dogs that’ll just wander in front of you, cars passing 1 foot too close over the line… Ya, not exactly how I learned to ride a bike. I’ll wear the helmet in the risky situation.

    Makes you wonder why skydivers bother to wear a helmet at all.
