Are they? I’ve never really ran one…
I have a big boi ProLiant DL380e Gen8 and it’s pretty good as long as you have a dedicated room for it as it’s really loud. If you get them for really cheap like I did (I got mine maxed out for less than 100$), then yeah it’s a good deal.
It’s not amazing on power consumption either with like 130W at idle… I’d imagine the smaller ones using use less power, but I wouldn’t count on it, as it is still old hardware. However, if the price is right, then it could absolutely be worth it… If you can withstand the noise.
And looking at the specs of the N36L, for the same price you could very easily scrounge together a custom build from 2nd hand parts, which will be quieter, faster and most likely use less power…
Or just use Arch… only for half of your AUR packages to be broken and end up still using flatpaks anyways.
And I thought my 6800XT was big
I feel like you have the wrong idea of what hacking acting a actually is… But yes, as long as you don’t do anything too stupid line forwarding all of your ports or going without any sort of firewall, the chances of you getting hacked are very low…
As for DDOSing, you can get DDOSed with or without self hosting all the same, but I wouldn’t worry about it.
What’s bad about KDE?
If you’re a beginner… or hate jank, don’t use Arch. And make sure you’re using a desktop environment that supports Wayland (GNOME or KDE). Gaming on X11 can be buggy, janky and inconsistent
It’s just funny to annoy people who insist on using GNU/Linux

It goes over all of the steps of setting it up.
GPU passthrough has been pretty good for a while. The reason why Linus couldn’t get it working reliably was because iirc, he tried to do it on windows… I’ve done it before with a single gpu and have very recently set it up again, now that I have a 2nd one and gotta say, it’s pretty damn good…
I really don’t think “has landed” was the best choice of words here…
Try them both and use the one that works better
you can’t spy on me through my webcam, I don’t have one
My hard drives are also 2nd hand and they’ve been reliable so far, I just generally know it’s bad practice…
My tip for saving money: buy as much as possible 2nd hand. You do not need the latest of latest gen hardware for a NAS/Homelab. This is excluding storage, and ESPECIALLY hard drives. Those you should absolutely buy new.
As for setting it up… My recommendation is to use TrueNAS scale with either RAIDz1 or RAIDz2, giving you either 1 or 2 drives of parity, in case something fails…
As for remote access, you can run a wireguard VPN server in a VM, allowing you to access it from anywhere, as long as you’re connected to said VPN.
Idk if it has that, as I just run a SMB share to achieve the same functionality
Yeah… Wayland, the community developed project is more corporate funded than X11, which literally got started by AT&T and is owned by redhat…
Not really easy to selfhost atm, but FOSS and we’ll get there eventually…
