Synology DS215j NAS - time for an upgrade?
I’ve had this box for almost ten years now, so I’ve been thinking about getting something new. Looking at the market, the new systems don’t seem to be all that much more advanced, though.

ViewTube quality (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

How do I use existing SSL certs with a FreeIPA installation?
I have an existing website that I use for all sorts of things. I was a bit more of a sucker when I bought the domain so I also bought a wildcard SSL cert for my domain instead of using LetsEncrypt. I use the home subdomain to link back to my home network where I’m in the process of setting up a FreeIPA domain. In order to make...
Cloud storage for encrypted backups recommendations
Hi! I’m looking for a good cloud storage provider for my backups. I will encrypt them locally and rclone them, so integration is important. I’ve been looking through reddit, and every single provider has something behind their ears (closes accounts, scans files, sketchy, blah blah blah), so I’m having a bit of an analysis...

Downsides of self hosting fediverse from homelab / locally?

pfsense: Who needs AES-NI?
I’m thinking about building a box for pfsense. Looking at hardware options and I see a pretty significant difference in price when comparing hardware with and without AES-NI.
