homelab

Got this server for free, so I talked about it on my blog !...

A slightly less technical post - these are some things I've learned from having a HomeLab for over a decade.

I got a server case and some rails for free, they were annoying to build (yes, build), and I could not find anything regarding those rails online, so I decided to blog about it, in the hope of helping someone with all the same questions as me!...

Does this look like a decent starting point for a first router build?...

I love my homelab

It seems good based on the price of just the CPU. If it’s good, what kind of server case would it need?

After a few conversations with people on Lemmy and other places it became clear to me that most aren’t aware of what it can do and how much more robust it is compared to the usual “jankiness” we’re used to. In this article I highlight less known features and give out a few practice examples on how to leverage Systemd to...
