I don’t use Arch BTW.

My plan is to load up on canned stew and buckwheat.

I promise, maintenance it basically zero after a proper setup.

Well, it was close to zero for me until the last year dovecot update (2.3→2.4) that has broken old configs. I’ve spent a lot of time fixing them.

If it was painful for you, this does not mean nobody should even try. FMPOV my mailbox contains too much personal information to host in in the cloud.

I’d try Maddy if I were going to setup my personal email server now. But I already have postfix/dovecot/all-that-shit up and running for years.

Do you mean full text message body search or just headers (To/From/Subject etc.)? Claws Mail is very fast when searching in headers, but not in message bodies.

IMHO this is fine for such large files.

Arch and its derivatives look like the trend

It’s because nobody writes “I use Debian BTW”.

tcpdump?

Yes, it is normal.

My choice is OpenWrt and specialized hardware. It is much better suited for home use and has much lower power consumption (i.e. silent). Right now I’m looking for replacement for my home router and going to buy one of Banana Pi boards. However in the US the optimal choice may be different.

mdam doesn’t work on either my Trixie or 26.04 install

What? Do you mean it is incompatible with Mac OS software RAID implementation? This does not mean it doesn’t work. You will also be unable to read your software RAID if you insert disks into hardware RAID device.

Much more common than is should be.

The current stable release is Debian 13. Choosing 12 is nonsense.

If you are choosing between Fedora and Debian, definitely go with Debian. Fedora evolves too rapidly for professional use, and its administration requires excessive effort.

I didn’t try many of them. I use Ansible for my job, but sometimes I hate it. I would try Terraform/OpenTofu or Salt if I were looking for alternative.

I’m hoping that’s just because I installed them on the same disk though.

No. It does not matter where they are installed.

Usually Grub successfully finds all distros installed. I guess that it fails because of some Atomic distro differences. If you use Grub from Fedora Atomic, it should also find a “normal” distro.

What is it and why should we care?

you don’t really need to scale a homelab that much

Maybe. But you never know this beforehand.

if something breaks, you just want to quickly fix it manually because “doing the Ansible” is more of a pain

In most cases you just need to replay a playbook for quick fix. But I agree that the proper fix will likely take a longer time (while downtime is much shorter).

now idempotency and documentation-as-code is out of the window.

Let @BruisedMoose@piefed.social decide.

P. S. I don’t like Ansible, other tools can be easier to use. But I don’t want to recommend something concrete.
