  • I fucking LOVE my Unraid server, but I’ve had it for many years and they’ve since changed their pricing. A very, very solid WebUI.

    I paid like $40 just once for it, and it looks like it’s $250 now. Honestly I’d just pay the $50/yr, it has been immensely helpful to get me started as my first homelab.

    And btw I use Arch for my desktop whenever I use Linux.

    I helped a friend build a server to use Unraid for his new house, and to get him started with Home Assistant and the arr stack. He’s always been fairly good with computers, but had 0 Linux experience. After about 6 months he became self efficient and no longer needed to ask for help.

    Edit: my original new price was unique to me to upgrade my grandfather license.















  • This is specific to my old neighborhood:

    It goes to a small hub, looked like a small green stantion/pillar, that connects the nearby houses. My old home’s was in my backyard, at one point I saw about 6 other runs for neighbors.

    Then that hub, with bigger/more cables, connects to a larger hub. This was in the middle of my neighborhood by the school, and it was a quite large green box, probably 6ft tall.

    From there I didn’t know where it went, but same concepts apply. That would go to an even larger hub, connecting multiple neighborhoods. Depending on your area and ISP, eventually they hit an end point your ISP manages which is probably a big building where they’re “connected to the rest of the internet.”




  • Think of it as more modular.

    I personally used Traefik, but only because I’m a masochist and it would be useful to know in IT workplace.

    Traefik + CrowdSec + CowdSec Traefik Bouncer.

    Traefik handles the traffic, and said traffic has to get a green light from CrowdSec + Bouncer before it can go anywhere.

    The concept of CrowdSec is honestly super awesome.
