It is complete overkill for most home server tasks but I would look to run something like this for next 10 years at least so I can see it making sense if you cost it out like that.

Depends on your personal use case of course but for comparison I have a (relatively) piddly Intel N305 processor mini PC with 16GB of memory and currently run a 25-30 container load, including Plex and a torrent server. My setup currently idles at around 20% CPU and 25% memory utilisation, so I can quite confidently say the linked N5 ought to give more than enough headroom to handle a typical homelab/self hosted load.

Put first episode on max priority + download sequentially. Go make a cup of tea. First episode is ready to stream. Do same to second episode before you start watching the first and Robert is your father's brother (Bob's your uncle).

Today I learnt, thank you.

Question please, how would podman alleviate container update woes?

I tried many different keyboards but honestly nothing matched up to SwiftKey, now sadly owned by Microsoft, so I locked its internet access using RethinkDNS (or NetGuard)

I'd have to second Feral Hosting, although I haven't used them for years. Starting from £10/month for 1TB and unlimited bandwidth.

Setting a random SSH port and limiting it to 3/min saw failed login attempts fall by 99% and jailed IPs fall to 0.

My impression in general is that the business press is more open, more free, often more critical, less constrained by external power and external influences - Chomsky

I got the same impression when I used to watch televised business news.

A reverse proxy saves you from having to expose your services directly and acts as a go-between.

Internet <--> Reverse Proxy <--> Service

Nice tips! Personally will use SSH aliases and canonicalised hostnames.

Other topics covered in post:

• Forward Yubikey Agent
• Reuse connections
• SSH straight into tmux
• Alias commonly used hosts
• Do not add testing stuff to ~/.ssh/known_hosts
• Make connections last longer
• Canonicalize hostnames
• Yubikey and GitHub, without touching it every time

Just under two right now but it is throwing out 55-60GB a day at the moment. Gotta keep those Linux ISOs seeded!

This week I finally managed to route torrent traffic through a VPS that was sitting around gathering dust. I am behind CGNAT so was taking me 6 weeks to do the kind of traffic I do in a day now. I couldn't be more chuffed.
