• But she's a girl... ☛ Building a NAS

  As I read more about setting up a NAS, I realised that I could do more than just serve files. Most NAS operating systems allow you to run Docker containers (to run applications in a ‘sandboxed’ way), and also let you run whole other operating systems in a VM. As many online services become expensive, AI-infested, privacy-intruding nightmares, having the ability to self-host some simple services for myself becomes more and more attractive, so I wanted hardware and software which would make this easier.

• Brad Taunt ☛ Building a Simple Router with OpenBSD

I normally read through the guides (maybe even poke around the core man docs for a bit as well) but always end up returning to my default ISP setup.

  But that all changes today! Best of all, you can come along for the ride!
