READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

>>107834996
even a single HDD will easily saturate 1GbE for sequencial workload, you most certainly need 10GbE.
I have 4 20TB drives in raidz1, i just ran a quick read test through 40GbE on a single large file and i'm getting 508 MB/s, so about 4Gbps. In my case, using 1GbE instead of 10/40GbE would mean over 4 times slower transfers.

1Gb is ~120MB/s. HDDs now-a-days can reach 300MB/s.
But you have to as yourself, do you benefit from a larger connection? Do you transfer files often enough to warrant it?
I read/write to my NAS frequently, around 500GB a week. I still use a 1Gb connection.

There will be jail if they lose all their investor's money and sell the company in the cheap to Google or some other company with lots of money.
They will rush towards an IPO to avoid this, and they likely have time to get there.
The ends justifying the means have less to do with it than just simply stupid boomers in DC who can barely operate a phone not understanding the tech and falling for Jewish tricks, or being Jews themselves and always looking to take more goyem resources and give them to Israel. There is no finish line with current (LLM-based) AI tech. It would be like saying if we just pursue phone tech far enough, it will allow us to fly. It just doesn't make any sense.

No, graphical glitches everywhere.
and these are screenshotable so it's not really a hardware malfunction. and on Linux it's much worse as if you use a browser (firefox based) it hangs your graphics drive also known as xe, so disable hardware acceleration.
I am not a heavy PC gamer, I bought it for other stuff.
It also happens the most is on electron apps(both OSes), GTK apps and the windows taskbar (rare). Surprisingly everything else like QT or other Win32 doesn't have these issues.

not him but Intel does not have the infrastructure setup to handle GPU drivers for games as they treat it no different than their chipset drivers with a slow release frequency that is not acceptable for new software, specially games. If you're happy to have things remain in a broken state for 4+ months after release by all means go for it.

This is actually the proper way of doing it. If you bend the metal there's no risk of it snapping. It's when people bend the plastic parts that you see them snap. Be careful not to overdo it, though. You don't want them to clamp too little, at least I personally am not a fan of that.
