How did you figure out it had issues with broccoli?. Were you checking your vegetable gallery for CSAM?

The only problems are that it hasn’t got many SATA or PCIe ports.

I did need multiple SATA ports and chose to use an m.2 to SATA adapter myself.

I think I have the same motherboard, it’s the ASUS N100I-D D4, right?

I tried Baserow a while ago but decided not to use it because it started downloading the application after running the container and required an online account (that could also be NocoDB). How has your experience been after using it for longer?

Or one of those 1L business PC’s

I’m currently just using it for occasional backups (it has 12TB storage) since the power consumption (60W idle when in the BIOS) is just unreasonable.

What are those machines on the floor?

Old setup:

Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 that I bought refurbished for ~€130

• i5-6500T (Passmark score 4792)
• 8GB RAM
• 512GB SATA SSD + 128GB SATA SSD (completely used for swap)
• Buffalo DriveStation™ HD-WLU3 that I bought second hand for €10
• 2 × 2TB SATA HDD’s in RAID 1
• ~20W

New setup:

Custom build

• ASUS Prime N100I-D D4 (Passmark score 5501) (~€100)
• 16GB RAM - Crucial CT16G4SFRA32A (€28)
• 512GB SATA SSD
• 4 × 4TB SATA HDD’s in RAID 5 using mdadm (€160)
• M.2 NVME to SATA 6x (ASM1116 for C-states) (€17)
• 17.8W

(Not the Proliant Microserver Gen8 on top, the device below)

The antennas are from a Sonoff Zigbee dongle and a bluetooth dongle for Home Assistant.

I’ve mostly focused on power usage, price, and reliability since I’m a student and don’t want to spend a month’s worth of income on a “home lab”.

It’s running the following:

• Forgejo
• Grafana
• Home Assistant
• Jellyfin
• Kopia
• Nginx-proxy-manager
• Paperless NGX
• Photoprism
• Syncthing
• TimescaleDB
• Uptime-kuma
• Vaultwarden: As backup
• Watch Your LAN
• Arr stack (currently disabled)
• Homebox: Still up for testing, like it has been for the past couple months. It’s a great concept but the execution ain’t great (does anyone happen to know an alternative?)

It’s using about 10% CPU and is running below 40°.

An N100 would be fine, I use it for my own server. Despite it being about as fast as an i5-6500T with a general benchmark, quicksync makes a big difference when encoding video with e.g. Jellyfin. I “upgraded” from a i5-6500T to a custom built N100 server and the performance improved a lot. However, if you plan on hosting game servers it probably won’t be enough.

It seems like it, all of the prices are in dollars so it confused me for a second but that’s probably because nobody understands how much 0.0…0X of a Bitcoin actually is.

America bad

Wow, yeah that’s a big difference from how I remember him

No, I’m currently using Tailscale but have been considering switching to Netbird to not be reliant on Tailscale.

You can simply set up a VPN for your home network (e.g. Tailscale, Netbird, Headscale, etc.) and you won’t have to worry about attacks. Public services require a little more work, you will need to rely on a service from a company, either a tunnel (e.g. Tailscale funnel) or a VPS.

I keep hearing about people being aware of it’s existence, but I have yet to see a single person say they use it.

For me it can be the opposite, I often focus better with artificial light than with sunlight.

I meant “ISP’s use CGNAT over IPv6” as ISP’s use CGNAT instead of IPv6 to solve IPv4 address limit issues, not as using IPv6 through CGNAT, although some do use IPv6 through CGNAT for backwards compatibility with IPv4 only devices.
