Very nice goal list, best of luck!

Ouf yeah same here 😅

What mini rack did you go for? Am looking to do the same.

From what I’ve heard the best option for deleting your data from brokers is: https://easyoptouts.com/

This is just run by two honest dudes and is considerably cheaper than the other services. The reason I like this one (though not used as I don’t live in the US, is because these guys are quite transparent about the process.) I’ve heard numerous podcasts where these guys come into the show and talk about their work. As an example they were on the Firewalls don’t stop dragon podcast. I would at least have a look at this service and compare with the rest.

Best of luck 🍀

VLANs for the win! Was a difficult process for me too when i first setup my Omada stack, but got there in the end. Very nice to have it sorted. While you’re at it, you might want to look into having a seperate wifi for guests! I at least have a very limited guest wifi, with a QR code guests can scan when they come in to my house - neat little thing for them, plus i dont have to worry about their devices on my network.

Not sure myself. Was looking at both options myself but NTFY seemed to have broader support and thats why i went with it. Though i cannot back that claim up, simply from my first impression. If Gotify works well for you then I wouldn’t worry about changing it.

Great goal! Good networking is jolly important. Best of luck bud :)

Tailscale? 👉👈 🥺

Hardware Haven is one of my favs, so much inspiration to gain from that channel!

Nice dude! Jellyfin has defo been a nice change for me which i switched to during 2024.

Well this certainly has me intrigued!

Tailscale is amazing! I’ve tried many different solutions but always keep coming back to Tailscale for it’s simplicity.

I just got my notification system up and running yesterday actually! Although I went with NTFY. Because I use Proton I cannot use that for notifications, plus I’d like to keep my Homelab separated. NTFY is quite well documented and works with almost any service you throw at it, highly recommend this! ✨

Thanks for the recommendation!

If I hadn’t been using Unraid for my server I too think I’d be rocking OpenSuse, but probably MicroOS as you mentioned.

As a networking noob: what are the benefits to having/using an IPv6 stack? I realize that eventually we all have to move to IPv6, but any point in being early on it?

I’m begging for fiber too! It’s 2025 gosh darn it 😁

Backups are key! Need to work on this myself too!

The fun part is putting it together and watching it all work smoothly! Best of luck dude 👍

For the folks confusing this with an alternative to Jellyfin or Plex, I believe this project is more meant to be akin to Stremio, but self-hosted.

Asus really making a name for themselves lately, not in a good way… Love that people like GamersNexus call them out for this lackluster, need more people like this.
