I basically did the same, picked up a 12U rack and a Dell R220 as my PfSense box.

Been so stable and can handle anything.

No, unless stability is very little change.

Have you read the article?

I find a blog is something I won’t self host since my homelab is mostly a dev environment and with that it isn’t super available.

However I do recommend github pages and use some jekyll theme.

Other than that, you can always self host Hugo or Ghost, although when I tried that I always found I ran into issues.

I tried on 3 widely separated occasions and still found issues so maybe it’s a problem with me or my environment.

Either way, people seem to mention those two so I’d recommend them if you want to selfhost, if not, github pages.

Yeah makes complete sense, cheers I’ll check that link out!

That makes sense!

I’ve never really looked into running fibre into my house.

But when I worked in a DC I laid a lot of fibre so we didn’t really think too deeply on what to use except for distance and bandwidth, unless the network team had a specific reason.

Good to know!

I have fibre to my house but only 1G so no point switching just yet.

What made you go with single mode over multimode?

I assume distance, just wondering how big your house is haha.

I use ArseLinux btw.

Luckily they hired a developer who is the only person other than toady who has properly looked at the code.

They are adding multi-threading, not to all tasks but a few so we should start seeing serious performance improvements.

Putnam (The new dev) has already made some great changes, especially when it comes to performance.

Would definitely check it out again with the steam release.

Dwarf Fortress, Less now since the steam release
