I will read the blog later, but let me talk about the mini.
I recently acquired 3 Lenovo Tiny. They make zero noise, and have one PCI slot that I will use for a 2.5Gbe, plus one wifi card slot that I will convert to NVMe, and one regular NVMe. Lots of expansion (for me).
I used to have two HP SFF. They made some noise. Not bad, but it was perceptible, while the Lenovo Tiny is basically not at all. They had 3 PCI slots, but I could never fit a GPU in the case.
My suggestion: if you don't need lots of disks or extra boards, get a Tiny/Mini, not an SFF.

I finally figured out why some of my S3 operations were so slow.
And I'm musing a bit about future hardware directions for the Homelab.
Anybody want to share their experience with Tiny/Mini/Micro PCs, especially when it comes to noise and power consumption? And perhaps extendability? Especially NICs?
New blog post is up! Now that I'm done looking for a job, I'm hopefully going to get back to blogging.
Ideally, it can be one of those use-your-discretion kind of situations. If only some technical elements overlap, that might be fine, we will see.

When someone asks me "why Talos and not K3s", I usually simplify and say "I don't want an extra OS layer". Well. This blog post goes beyond my simplistic explanation. I hope it helps.
Looking to migrate the #homelab from Hyper-V to #proxmox. The main VMs I care about are Ubuntu hosts running Docker containers.
I have an old Intel NUC I'm thinking I'll use. NIC doesn't support VLANs sadly but I think I can get away with untagging it to my server network and just use a bridge for now. Also have Veeam backups so might try and restore those directly to Proxmox.
Anyone else tried similar or have any tips?
I’ve been trying to connect our security camera to Home Assistant. Since I didn’t want to export the image just to view it, I used an ASCII art viewer to display it directly in the terminal.
My loving wife had a message for me.
Hello #Fediverse! Time for a proper #Introduction.
I’m a hobbyist developer and engineer (outside the tech industry) who loves building tools for education and personal use. I’m currently focused on:
🐍 #Python & #Django – Working through a 30-day library challenge right now!
💻 #Linux – Running #Fedora on my System76 laptop.
🏠 #HomeLab – Managing an #OpenMediaVault setup on a Ugreen DXP2800, plus lots of #Docker and #Portainer tinkering.
🗺️ #Geospatial – Exploring data science projects.
Current Projects:
DITS: A custom issue tracker application.
Devnexus: A lite weight TUI issue and pull request application
mgl_website: My MickGeekLabs.org website and blog
Byte_Board_Blog: My personal blog project.
Pushing code to my local #Gitea (MickGeekLabs) and GitHub.
When I’m not debugging, I’m likely hanging out with my 16-year-old ginger tabby cat. 🐈
Looking forward to connecting with the #SelfHosted, #Python, and #Dev community here!
