Let see what happen next time they request help from FEMA, it might not even exist anymore.

I wonder if selfh.st is selfhosted in someone’s basement.

I have been running a selfhosted gitea instance for many years. However since Gitea Limited as a per profit organization have different objectives than Forgejo and Gitea Source Contributors I will rather not recommend it for selfhosting. Gitea Limited still great for businesses that need access to official support.

There is any particular reason to deploy a new gitea instance instead of forgejo in 2025?

Same, all celestial names.

I have been run Docker container in both LXC and VM for a long time without issues or meaningful performance penalties. So I run important single docker containers on top of LXC and everything else in Dockge / Portainer VMs.

Eaton are probably the best out there. In my experience battery last between 3 and 4 years.

An new AMD Laptop APU will outperform Intel in every metric. I can only recommend T14 & T14S but any other Thinkpad will be ok.

Here is my favorite.

Trump will do a great job. The SCOTUS gave him full immunity, so what can go wrong?

Anything other than QNAP.

Eaton is my recommendation. Look at the 5S1500 (modified sinewave) or 5SC1500. They all work with NUT. I have one of my UPS connected to a Raspberry PI Zero with NUT. And my servers NUT clients are scheduled to shutdown after a 2min outage and my NAS after 4min. I can also monitor the UPS from Home Assistant and receive notifications on my phone each time the UPS goes OB or OL.

Any specific reason to move from a Mikrotik to OPNsense?

I think this is the best homelab router out there. If you are new to Mikrotik there is definitely a steep learning curve.

Openwrt is fairly good too, but I think documentation can be lacking and confusing for some edge applications. My other concerns with openwrt is performance since it is compatible with a wide variety of hardware is difficult to know how it will perform without testing it.

Can you share the link for that case?

In my experience Eaton UPSs are better than APC, CyberPower. Look at 5S1500LCD and the like.

I had no idea this was so common.

Just because it can be done it doesn’t mean that is a good idea to do it. It all depends on what is your are trying to do and your risk profile. For me Networking, storage and computing are all in different devices.
