I have been running a selfhosted gitea instance for many years. However since Gitea Limited as a per profit organization have different objectives than Forgejo and Gitea Source Contributors I will rather not recommend it for selfhosting. Gitea Limited still great for businesses that need access to official support.

There is any particular reason to deploy a new gitea instance instead of forgejo in 2025?

Webserial is only reason I see to install Chrome. For everything else Firefox works great.

Same, all celestial names.

I have been run Docker container in both LXC and VM for a long time without issues or meaningful performance penalties. So I run important single docker containers on top of LXC and everything else in Dockge / Portainer VMs.

Eaton are probably the best out there. In my experience battery last between 3 and 4 years.

An new AMD Laptop APU will outperform Intel in every metric. I can only recommend T14 & T14S but any other Thinkpad will be ok.

I’m very skeptical of anything Toyota says about EVs.

Toyota Rav4 PHEV 18.1kWh Toyota Rav4 Hybrid ~1.6kWh Model Y LR 81kWh

81 / 18.1 = 4.48 PHEV 81 / 1.6 = 50.6 Hybrids

I shorted TSLA once and got burned. Tesla stock fan base can keep pumping the stock up for longer than you can hold your puts.

Anything other than QNAP.

Eaton is my recommendation. Look at the 5S1500 (modified sinewave) or 5SC1500. They all work with NUT. I have one of my UPS connected to a Raspberry PI Zero with NUT. And my servers NUT clients are scheduled to shutdown after a 2min outage and my NAS after 4min. I can also monitor the UPS from Home Assistant and receive notifications on my phone each time the UPS goes OB or OL.

Any word about shipping volumes? Is this RPI 5 going to be like a unicorn or the are plans to produce them in real volume?

Any specific reason to move from a Mikrotik to OPNsense?

I think this is the best homelab router out there. If you are new to Mikrotik there is definitely a steep learning curve.

Openwrt is fairly good too, but I think documentation can be lacking and confusing for some edge applications. My other concerns with openwrt is performance since it is compatible with a wide variety of hardware is difficult to know how it will perform without testing it.

Can you share the link for that case?

In my experience Eaton UPSs are better than APC, CyberPower. Look at 5S1500LCD and the like.

I have a project on mind and I was planning on using nomnoml directly. https://kroki.io/ seems to a better way to interact with it. Thank you for sharing.

First they will rename it few times, Reddit+, RedditOut, RedditWave then merge it will Google Groups wait for a year and then pull the plug.
