  1. Building your own NAS/homelab machine is neverending process.

    I started with a plain external drive ~15 years ago, then connected it via USB to PC Engines Alix, then moved to two-bay Synology NAS, then built my first small and passive mini-ITX machine (sporting Athlon 200GE) with 4 drives and yesterday, I rebuilt it with Ryzen 5600G, 3x12TB drives in RAID5, 1TB NVMe in PCI-E for VMs, 512GB NVMe for system and containers, 64 GB RAM...

    Everything encrypted, services running in podman containers, a few VMs will come... it will be a long configuration weekend, learning new stuff again 😻

    Can't believe I used to run services directly as root and even used samba and other messy stuff.

    BTW, #cockpit in Fedora Server rocks! I tried to use it ~2 years ago and it was not a pleasant experience, but now, I did most of the stuff there instead of command line.

    Also am interested in #stratis - not for this server, but for another one. Looks like a nice umbrella storage system for my 10+ spare HDDs and SSDs with different sizes which I want to use to spin-up a pure backup server one day, if I find a reasonable motherboard for it with enough SATA ports... (see https://stratis-storage.github.io/ for details - thanks @shine for mentioning it to me)

  2. I wanted to build a server on Fedora for S/390, but I ran into some problems. I thought it was on Fedora, but upon studying the situation in more detail, I found out it was on QEMU/KVM.
    Regardless, it seems to me a problem that would not be solved so easily. So I decided to build my server on Fedora for x86_64 and it's going great. A friend recommended "Hercules", but I still don't know how to use it and because it's more complex, it would postpone my plans.
