Tom's Hardware ☛ Create your own Raspberry Pi powered home VOIP service with Mumble
The project that I have in mind uses Mumble, an open source, low-latency high quality voice chat application. Mumble has been used to provide clear communication for gamers and workers for well over a decade. Best of all, it needs very little system resources, so the single core Arm 700MHz CPU in my Raspberry Pi 1 is more than enough for a small Mumble server on my home network. After five hours of use it only used 29MB of RAM and 3.3% of CPU resources. Power consumption hit just 1W!

Subnetspider ☛ Building a fault-tolerant reverse proxy with FreeBSD

This setup requires almost no maintenance other than updating HAProxy and FreeBSD, and requesting new TLS certificates from time to time. If one of the two reverse proxies goes down, it is unlikely that you will notice it, so setting up some sort of monitoring is recommended, but not required. If you are comfortable with managing your reverse proxy via SSH and not using a fancy WebUI, I recommend giving this a try :)
