This is one where it isn’t just that though. You know there would be people who’d wait for someone to go to the bathroom or fall asleep and then walk past and hit the OK button for them.

I can’t speak to the netboot part personally but I’ve had Docker data folders mounted via an NFS share for a while now, and while it worked fine, I’ve just in the last week or so swapped them all back to local storage for performance reasons (typically anything involving a SQLite database), so depending on what services you’re running via Docker, check that your network speeds aren’t going to be a bottleneck for it. (My home network is only 1G for reference so might not be a problem for you).

From a hardware perspective I need more storage. Am thinking I’ll probably end up with a second Synology NAS unit before the end of the year with 4 hard drives at whatever a reasonable price vs size point it at the time I do it (likely 12-14Tb drives at this stage). Bought drives 2 at a time last time so I’m running two RAID1 pairs right now on the existing unit - adding 4 new drives at once to the home lab will let me move all that content to the new drives and reformat the existing ones into a RAID5 array and get an extra 12Tb of storage.

The one I already have does support adding the 5 drive expansion bay, but figuring that with a second NAS I can move some of my Docker instances currently running on a dedicated laptop onto the second NAS which takes one computer out of the setup as well.

Maintenance wise I’ve just only done my 2024 maintenance stuff that I do each year. This year it was going through my password vault and making sure everything was synced up, had complex passwords, had two factor enabled where applicable, etc, as well as setting up unique email addresses for every service I’m using (they just forward to the same inbox) to help me track who’s been selling my info. Have already found a local fast food outlet who has from that.

Have also rotated all my SSH keys, made sure they were all upgraded to Ed25519 from RSA, set up unique keys for the three devices I regularly use so I can revoke one individually if required, made sure all my hardware was running the latest updates (my RPi running my Pi-hole instance was still on Buster so I had to get that updated before I could even update Pi-hole), etc.

Also swapped my Mullvad connection on my gateway to use Wireguard instead of OpenVPN since they’re dropping support later this year.

Honestly I’d love to invest in some sort of rack mounting for home, its something I should look into some more, but right now I just have a whole section of the wardrobes in my study for equipment and tech storage. It’s working for now although I worry about it in summer with not a massive amount of heat dissipation in there. This weekend is supposed to be close to 40 degrees Celsius both days 🥵

Will second Doki Doki Literature Club. Undertale should also be on this list I feel.

The fact that clicking the link takes you to a 404 page definitely helps with the whole “accidentally” bit.

Anyone know if the story turned out to be false and got deleted or if it’s just a dud link?
