All I know is that iX systems said that they might drop core since BSD isn’t nearly as well maintained as Linux.

That doesn’t passthough smart data

I’d avoid it as it is currently being developed by a startup. Startups are high risk businesses which means they could easily go under.

TrueNAS should do that automatically for the OS

BSD isn’t really being maintained. It gets contributions once and a while but the vast majority of development happens on Linux.

To add to that:

Make sure you passthough a pcie device like a data controller. Just passing though disks doesn’t preserve metadata which will lead to errors and data loss

It has been pretty solid for me. Make sure you are doing a proper pcie passthough as disk passthough doesn’t pass disk metadata.

I wouldn’t bother with a VPN honestly

I would start at the OSI model. Focus on layer 1 to start and then move on up. The more you learn the more you realize there is way more to learn.

Woodpecker CI

Technitium DNS Server is a bit more feature rich but honesty I would just run a DNS filter on your router

Sell it

I’m dead serious. They can go for a decent price which should cover the cost of a X86_64 machine

Wireguard has very little attack surface

Just be mindful of people online

Honesty we need a POW system built into http.

You could also throw it behind mTLS

It is because it is the default

Hardware raid doesn’t do much to stop silent corruption. At the very least you want to run something like btrfs on top of it.

Definitely don’t use hardware raid
