Doesn't come with a power adapter and has weird power requirements. Wouldn't power up at all with a standard 5V 1A wall plug, needed 5V 4A.

Apart from that it's been perfectly fine. I wish other OS than the armbian they provide supported this CPU.

freshRSS. I'm using the linuxserver.io docker image.

Nothing is really too much.

I have too much hardware to swap out to go 10G networking or I totally would.

The point of my homelab is for me to learn and break stuff in a safe environment, so if that leads me down a Kubernetes rabbit hole at some point so be it.

If you have a Synology their Surveillance Station product is amazing and will work with basically any IP camera brand.

I'd run my own mail server if deliverability wasn't such a huge hassle.

Basically if you're not google or Microsoft... Don't even bother.

I only rolled my own Wireguard VPN because I wanted to learn how things worked on the backend - I've suggested Tailscale to many other people, its just a really well designed product.

It's astonishing to me how much they're giving away for free.

I've been testing some alternative SBCs like the OrangePi 5.

Currently mine is a fallback DNS server and reverse proxy for my network, trying to come up with some other uses for it.

They're still low power ARM boxes, but they're much cheaper than the RPi is at the moment.

I have an rsync script that pulls a backup every night from my truenas server to my Synology.

I've been thinking about setting up something with rsync.net so I have a cloud copy of my most important files.

I really hope you have that backed up

Unrelated note, but , the URL in your profile description is misspelled, OP.

I'm using DuckDNS, it has a plugin for pfSense / OpnSense.
