People love the easy backups of full VMs…

Randomware should be a thing!

2.5 Admins is tangential…

I run a Celeron J1900 SFF PC. It has only 2 SATA ports, and doesn’t boot off PCI-E. I have used USB drives, but that’s not optimal. I try out new things on a laptop.

Now I’m also looking to upgrade.

Used workstations have SATA ports, but usually have Xeons in them, i think that means no QuickSync. And if they sell it with an old Quadro card, that’s too much for just a few video streams.

New builds get expensive fast. Also not many nice cases that are cheap.

Dedicated NASes are expensive because of the software and services they offer, but I don’t need those.

This is how far I’ve gotten, so I’m looking forward to seeing what other people have to say about it.

Dynamic Kernel Module Support.

Arch wiki:

The concept is to have DKMS modules automatically rebuilt when a new kernel is installed.

Nice!

When I change my server, I always start from scratch, hoping that it will come out better.

I don’t know what I’m expecting, it was always working well…

I use logseq. It has an Android app, and also desktop app (the latter being more complex). Also, it’s plain markdown.

But you have to sync the different devices yourself and be careful not to run two instances at the same time.
