Its been some time since I've setup a home server, and even then I only used it to store backups from devices on the LAN.
Never hosted anything that is reachable from the internet (besides SSH). I want to learn how to self-host a few services, starting with a Google Photos replacement; and littleFedi by @stefano .
Thought of using a old laptop, but decided to step up to a ThinkCentre M720q. I've installed FreeBSD as the host OS.
Onward!

MeLE Quieter HD fanless mini PC with Intel N150 has room for an SSD and HDD inside
The MeLE Quieter line of mini PCs are small fanless computers that have been around for years, and which are often so small that they’re nearly pocket-sized. You’d need a pretty big pocket to fit the new MeLE Quieter HD, which measures 150 x 105.4 x 39.6mm (5.9″ x 4.15″ x 1.56″), making it the tallest mini PC in the family so far.
But the company uses that extra height to give the system […]

Guys, it’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy with a computer purchase! Fedora recognized all my hardware perfectly right out of the box, and everything works great!
I’ve had very different experiences with my various mini-PCs made in Chinese factories using child labor, especially with the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cards...
Thunderbolt 4 is also recognized correctly, as are all devices connected to it. That didn’t work at all or only partially with the others (for example, the monitor only worked via the USB-C port on the monitor, but there was no image via the monitor’s Thunderbolt port; when the Logitech receiver was connected through the monitor, the mouse movements and keyboard inputs were choppy, etc.). But here: problem-free and fast via a single Thunderbolt 4 cable!
The installation was done in a few minutes - that’s Linux for you. A Windows installation takes many hours for this… and then you’re left with nothing but spyware and ads on your computer.
Conclusion: Asus NUC 16 Pro - highly recommended for every Linux user!

Looking for Mini PC recommendations for Home Server (low power)
I consider to replace gradually my Hetzner CPX32 VPS with a home infrastructure solution.
Requirements:
- Energy efficiency & low power at idle/load
- OS: openSUSE MicroOS
- Prefer x86 or ARM with solid Linux supportSeen N100 mini PCs, AceMagic S3A (Ryzen 7 8745HS), Beelink EQ13. What would you recommend?
Any pitfalls to watch out for? -

Change of plans: I didn’t end up waiting for the upcoming Minisforum MS-03 Workstation after all, but instead decided on the ASUS NUC16 PRO on a whim.
The reason was that Wendell from Level1Techs really praised this NUC in his latest video. He also highlighted the great Linux support from both Intel and ASUS. I’ve linked the video below.
And unlike many Chinese manufacturers, you can easily find all the drivers on their support pages (both Intel and ASUS)—including those for Linux! Plus, the download servers are fast, unlike with the Chinese manufacturers...
It has 32 GB of RAM, but unfortunately it’s soldered onto the motherboard on this model—though it does offer faster speeds.
I had to buy the NVMe drive separately; I opted for a 1 TB WD Black SN850X. Since I store everything on the NAS, I need virtually no storage space on the computer itself—just enough for the operating system; 256 GB would be more than enough. But a larger NVMe drive means more speed and a longer lifespan.
Other specs: Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, ASRock B390, 2x TB4, 2x 2.5-inch, 4x USB-A 10G, 1x USB-C 10G, 2x HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, two M.2 Gen5/Gen4 slots. It’s a breeze!
So, let’s install Linux on it! (To be on the safe side and to ensure the best possible support, it’ll be Fedora again...)

Anyone popped the case off to access fans, ram, or ssd on a Minisforum em780?
Mine's fans are making the dying hum to banshee scream. (using it as one of my homeservers) Trying to figure out how not seeing spots that really look like laptop pop points and only screws I saw when inside the "outer" case?

Lilbits: Goodbye OnePlus, Hello Xteink X4 Pro and a Game Boy Advance lookalike from AYANEO
A year and a half after launch, the MeLE QuieterDL fanless mini PC is getting a modest processor spec bump… and a big price increase. More than a decade after entering the global smartphone market, OnePlus is pulling back. And at a time when most consumer electronics are seeing RAM & storage-related price hikes, Xteink has made a bit of a splash with its cheap, small, and honestly barely […]

The MeLE QuieterDL is a small, fanless PC with dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports and support for three displays. When it launched in 2024 it had an Intel N100 chip and $160 starting price. Now it comes with Intel N150 and starts at $310 thanks to RAMageddon, probably. https://amzn.to/4vK47SU (Affiliate link) #FanlessPC #MiniPC #MeLEQuieterDL

Out of Office – with a twist. ☀️
Someone in the team has taken our promise of our XPC cube SB860R8 staying cool under pressure a bit too literally and sneaked it onto their beach holiday. 🌊
(Disclaimer: Please don’t actually rest your drinks on the chassis – condensation and high-performance electronics aren’t the best of friends, even in the summer heat! And we strongly advise keeping your rigs sand-free too.) ⚠️
Have a brilliant, cool summer! 🍦🌴

I have a spare machine - ThinkCentre M720q - that should be supported by the 'linux-libre' kernel (I don't need wifi).

A quick update on the MSI Cubi AI+: I returned the little box to the store the next day. Reason: an obvious motherboard defect.
Out of ten attempts to turn on the mini-PC, nine were unsuccessful. And even when it did finally turn on, most of the ports didn’t work; it wasn’t until I unplugged and replugged them several times that an image appeared on the monitor. The monitor is brand new, too, and works perfectly with my other computers, so that’s not the problem.
Bottom line: great specs, but basically crap. Something like this shouldn’t happen to a company like MSI.
And the unbelievably extensive pre-installed bloatware is also scandalous.Also: installing and setting up Windows 11 was an absolute nightmare, but that’s not MSI’s fault—it’s Microslop. It’s a shame I couldn’t install and try out Linux anymore, which was the original plan and intended use case.
Now I’m waiting for the upcoming Minisforum MS-03 Workstation, which also features a Panther Lake CPU.

Come Scegliere il Miglior Mini PC per l'AI Locale nel 2026: Strix Halo vs DGX Spark vs Mac
Un mini PC grande quanto un libro tascabile è oggi in grado di eseguire localmente un modello da 200 miliardi di parametri. Ma la scelta non dipende solo dal prezzo. La capacità della memoria determina quali modelli possono essere caricati, la larghezza di banda influisce sulla velocità di esecuzione e lo stack software — CUDA, ROCm o Metal — stabilisce se gli strumenti che utilizi funzioneranno davvero. Ecco un confronto tra le quattro principali opzioni disponibili nel 2026, con prezzi e benchmark aggiornati.
