In this post I will go over my hardware and homelab setup.
My main machine and daily driver is a desktop PC that is currently running
Void Linux. No particular reason for that. I'm currently just trying different
things to see what suits my needs best, but I think I'm going back to gentoo
somewhat soon. I like gentoo because out of all package managers, I think
portage is the best. I don't even care about the use-flags, I just like
portage. The compile times don't bother my either, since there's only a handful
of packages that take somewhat long to compile and they only get update every
couple of months.
I use my main machine for basically everything. It's my daily driver after all.
I use it for software development, gaming and browsing the web. It also serves
as a sorry excuse for a homeserver. I store a vast amount of movies and music,
which I serve to my home network via jellyfin.
I also have a corebooted Thinkpad T440p, which is used as a workstation when
I'm going to be away for a couple of days. The T440p is a bit hefty, but it is
equipped with everything I need: A VGA Port, multiple USB Ports, a CD Drive and
an SD Card reader. It runs Devuan with stable repo.
I have another Thinkpad X260 that is running FreeBSD. I use it as my mobile
workstation whenever I leave my house. Since it's a bit smaller and lighter, it
is more portable than the T440p. I also use it to test applications I might need
on my main machine, so I can finally decide whether I make the switch to FreeBSD
as a daily driver or not.
My server that runs all my webservices is a random Acer Laptop I bought 13 years
ago. To my surprise I've never run into any issues, despite it being very old.
It is running on Debian stable. It is hosting the following services:
- [radicale](https://cal.cafebabe.gay) (a calendar and contact card service)
- [invidious](https://invidious.cafebabe.gay) (alternative youtube frontend)
- [LibreY](https://search.cafebabe.gay) (a meta search engine)
- and a Matrix server (hosted at cafebabe.gay)
I also have a pihole in my network.
