A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Intel NUC i5 8XXXX running promox. I run home assistant, frigate & plex. Data storage is via the NAS DS 918+ but I do run some of their packages on that too & a couple more on the router / network.
Home assistant is particularly useful for running a bunch of add ons that I’d otherwise need to run as separate services in proxmox like adguard
Also hoping to get a server style UPS soon, which reminds me, I have to go check if there's a homelabsales community here :)
Nice setup, regarding protectli with pfsense, how much throughput do you get with intrusion detection set to on... Was wondering about protectli products and their performance. I can only make use of 1/4 of the bandwidth with my current thin client
In case you’re interested - pfsense has a plug-in that works just like pihole called pfblockerng it uses the exact same format as pihole lists too. I was already running DNS on my pfsense to this made more sense than spinning up a separate machine.
Thanks! I had tried it, but I end up going back to pihole for the GUI <3
I've got an aging Dell Optiplex microsff running OPNSense as a router on a stick, handling the house LAN. Then a HP Prodesk mini that runs containers on top of Rocky 9.
Free oracle ampere instance running Synapse and Onlyoffice DS for my Nextcloud instance, and Adguard Home (DoT&DoH) to block ads on the go. Not really homelab stuff, but relates closely... Probably going to set up a Lemmy instance on that one too, seems worth it if ARM is not an issue.
Going to try making a RPi 4B 8GiB + FreeBSD + 2 HDD ZFS mirror "NAS", though it's main usage is going to be local backups, mostly just sitting idle. Finding a powered 2-disk USB3-SATA disk housing that stops the disks properly (not with emergency head retract) has been surprisingly difficult. If anyone has suggestions for one, I'd be grateful. Probably going to have to write scripts to issue hdparm commands automatically when necessary.
Currently running a docker environment from a laptop with the following:
Firefly III - For budgeting
Seafile - For file sync. Was using OneDrive, but since it's not supported by Linux went with Seafile. Works great!
Keycloak - SSO
Cloudflare Tunnel - For connection to my services from outside without needing to forward ports, and to enforce SSO for platforms that don't support it.
PHP Apache - Hosting a few small websites
