Are either of those brands designed with the same level of user serviceability in mind?

The main drive for framework is how easy they are to repair or mod along with their varying degrees of modularity (such as their swappable ports).

Because he’s a blog spammer. Sure the question is valid but his “article” is just links to various youtube videos. The blog itself has zero substance.

Not like there’s much to read in the first place.

Are you using pihole to also create custom local DNS records?

Set up what you want on what you already have and if your workload is more than your hardware can handle then upgrade.

Overall most of what you rattled off isn’t too resource heavy but 12gb of memory isnt exactly a lot and i dont know what your minecraft server will eat up.

Alternatively look up the recommended minimum specs for each of your desired applications and add up the needs.

Additionally if this isnt going to be a headless system and you want a desktop gui that consumes resources as well.

That sounds more or less to be exactly what I’m doing with NPM currently. I don’t see how it’s easier to configure as all I did was fire up the NPM container, log in, and add my host targets.

NPM also handles SSL both standard http verification as well as DNS auth for wildcards.

Whats wrong with NPM?

Its just a computer, nothing more. You would do exactly the same thing as you would on a desktop or vps.

No you do not have to plug in both power cords but if both aren’t plugged in it may blare an alarm. If so plug in the other or just remove the redundant PSU.

+1 for restic. I have additionally started using autorestic with it and have been happy how it operates.

No its Philips. Its odd shape is because its been stripped/rounded/damaged. You’ll probably want to consider replacing it.

Reminds me of a tip for a soldering gun.

Its an armor and weapon set that costs $20USD worth of premium in game currency.

There is plenty of tooling for Linux to accomplish most if not all of the same goals but in my experience the difference between the two is the the windows tooling is much “friendlier” and for better or worse easier to get off the ground than a Linux equivalent.

Going the Linux route can and will work but it practically requires you have a a very good admin running the show who truly understands the infrastructure you are working with. I love Linux and greatly prefer working with it over Windows is basically every capacity but I’m not about to go my director and try to convince him we should switch from Windows to Linux as that conversion would be an immense undertaking and I am realistically the only person on staff capable of managing it.

Additional given so many other businesses/partners are also Windows based shops it very often just makes things easier when everyone is playing on the same or very similar field.

Because it’s “easier” to support Windows from a business perspective and it’s easier on users to use Windows as most already do use it and thus need no additional training/decreases support tickets.

I’m a small business environment it’s much easier to manage with Linux but you still need an OK Linux admin on staff.

Once you start scaling up on paper Linux certainly works but there are a lot of factors that most people (such as yourself) don’t consider.

This is coming from a pure Linux admin working on a mixed Enterprise environment where 99% of the infra is windows

What’s bad about it? I’m a Linux admin by nature but an admin of all by profession and overall I have no real complaints about Teams. Has always worked just fine for me and to my knowledge everyone else.

I constantly hear this but I just want to be the counter argument here.

Self hosting email is not the impossible tasks that people make it out to be. It is on the more advanced side of things though if you are hosting your primary email that you rely on.

I’ve been hosting my own email forany years now and have had no issues whatsoever but I also have years of experience and know how email works better than many that have no interest in such.

I would NOT recommended starting your self hosting journey with email but I will never discourage people from doing it.

Take your time. Ask questions any time you don’t understand something. Be ready to learn a lot and design a solid plan for disaster recovery.

I know this reference!

I don’t understand how to read this graph.
