You can take a look at mikrotik, their switches are really cheap and some of them are even layer 3, but I don’t know about their availability in the US.

I don’t have one yet, but their 4 port 100 gig switch looks verry tempting.

10 gig sfp+ isnt that expensive or power hungry anymore. You can get a new switch for ~100$ now. A complete 2.5 gig network is probably more expensive as you can’t really get used nics.

You need to change a setting in windows for remmina to work. I don’t remember which one it was but I think it was some where in the remotedesktop settings.

I’m currently doing this to a Citroën C5 III (2015). The hdd in the old infotainment system broke, so I had a reason to do it, and adding a few features couldn’t hurt.

It’s a huge pain to get to find information about anything in this car and to get anything to work properly, but I hope it’ll be worth it.

If you ever want to try it, here are the config files and commands from my bash history.

The geoclue file is set up for organic maps.

You can also run organic maps without flatpak, but you might need to compile it yourself.

I’m currently doing the same project.

To get gps to work on linux, you configure gpsd to get the data from your gps module and setup geoclue to get its data from gpsd. I lost the config files but I remember that I did the gpsd geoclue connection by echoing the gps data of gpsd into a netcat socket and connecting geoclue to it. Organic maps then automaticly gets its position from geoclue.

Im also working on a organic maps fork, which shows onscreen directions on linux.

I don’t own a ryzen 5xxx but from my experience with a ryzen 3xxx in a laptop, its enough to run most games (at least that I play) at 1080p 60 at low to medium settings. So yea it’s pretty good.

From my experiance with minecraft servers ryzen is the way to go.

I would recommend getting a used ryzen 5 5600g or ryzen 7 5700g i found some for less than 80€ on ebay. For the mainboard i would either get a cpu + mainboard combo or get it new as i haven’t found any non broken used boards. Pretty much anything is fine, just look out for the number of pcie slots and the lane distribution between them and if it supports lane bifurcation (you need this if you want to add m.2 expantion boards) if you want to add a hba or network card later on and that the board has 4 ram slots. Get at least 32gb of ram, 64gb is better and get them as 2 sticks, so you can upgrade later, ddr4 is cheap now. Storage wise I would reccommend 2 sata ssds as boot drives and 2 nvmes (if the mainboard supports it) for data.

So as an example (only 1 boot drive) with the prices ive found:

U: used (ebay); N: new

This mainboard isn’t itx, but you should find one that is for a similar price!

Software wise you can try out debian, truenas or something else, but try to use zfs. Im personally using debian on zfs root running minecraft servers in docker containers with docker-compose but running lodestone (a web ui for mc servers) would also be an option. Running nextcloud in a container is also pretty easy

I’ve experimented with ntfy, it works pretty well and is selfhostable. I don’t know if it natively support mqtt though.

I use both IONOS for domains and webhosting and a VPS from Host Unlimited, they also offer webhosting, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’m happy with both. Host unlimited apparently has a tier with unlimited mailboxes.

Volumes are horrible, how would I easily edit a config file of the programm running inside, if the container deosnt even start.

Bind mounts + ZFS datasets are the way to go.
