  • As this is self-hosted, I feel the majority will reccommend against a Synology or similar pre-built, closed source solution.
    At a budget of 150€ it will probably be challenging to build a whole system with new parts, but it can certainly be achieved with two or three generations old, second hand hardware.
    The easiest way would probably be to keep a lookout for old office midi-towers (Dell Optiplexes and similar). Those usually have a few pci slots to throw an hba into and hook up a few hard drives. The mounting of the harddrives itself will need to be handled with uhm… Creative solutions. Depending on the system, you’ll probably want to upgrade the ram. And if you want easier Hardware handling, you may be able to just throw the system in a different case later on.
    Another solution, and maybe even cheaper would be an old NUC or other mini-PCs. To be honest, I have no idea how people manage to use those as NAS or how you are supposed to manage multiple hard drives with them. External enclosures? Then there’s also more Pis and other micro PCs. Same challenges.
    So, this writeup has not actually adressed your question: what’s the /best/ solution?
    I also have no idea. It really depends on what you want, what your budget is, how much you want to fidget around. How much space do you have to put a system? What is on offer around you? Does the company/university/school you work at maybe offer hardware they would otherwise need to dispose of? Check craigslist/marketplaces/ebay.
    I am partial to the midi tower approach, as it offers a good deal of flexibility, depending on the included motherboard.
    Hope I could offer at least some help :)

    //Edith: The least energy consumption would probably be the Pi, but depending on how much HDDs you add, this will also depend on what management System you run and what HDDs you use (some NAS drives come with some powersaving features). If you are in any position to do so, talk to your landlord or Eigentümergemeinschaft and get a Balkonkraftwerk. Those 800Watts will more than offset your Homelab needs.









  • It is absolutely worth watching. If you are generally open to animated shows, it is definitly a great experience, imo. At times it does shine through that this is a kids show, especially the first few episodes, but that tapers off within the first season. I would recommend just watching it from s1e1 of the original show (the animated show with focus on aang). After that go ahead and watch the korra series :) If you want a single episode to watch as an appetizer, I would either reccommend “The Storm” (S1E12) or “Tales of Ba Sing Se” (S2E15).







  • Obligatorisches: Besser als am Ring. Höhö. War nice! Coole Zeltnachbarn gefunden, Wieder ein neues Saufspiel kennengelernt (Rage Cage, darf nur gespielt werden wenn dabei “Gas Gas” von Goran Bregovic läuft). Die Acts waren insgesamt gut, Von den Queens of the Stone Age war ich etwas enttäuscht, die haben aber auch vor einem A-Block gespielt der eigentlich nur auf die Ärzte gewartet hat. Die Atmosphäre bei Electric Callboy, auf die ich kich eigentlich voll gefreut hatte, war irgendwie komisch und ungemütlich. Konnte ich nicht so genießen. Babymetal war cool.

    Insgesamt auf jeden Fall ein super Wochenende :)
