Hi, I am planning to purchase a 2.5-inch HDD. If I connect it to my computer using a SATA to USB adapter instead of directly to the computer's SATA, can it somehow affect the result of this scan?...
My family needs a new router to replace the old (though not old enough that it should be dying) netgear router that is slowly dying.

I set up Netbird with Nginx Proxy Manager to reach my self-hosted servers. But I can't get it to configure Mailcow. Does anyone have an idea how I can make Mailcow work with Netbird and NPM?
Hi! I'm starting out with self-hosting. I was setting up Grafana for system monitoring of my mini-PC. However, I ran into issue of keeping credentials secure in my Docker Compose file. I ended up using Docker Swarm since it was the path of least resistance. I've managed to set up Grafana/Prometheus/Node stack and it's working...

Hello nerds! I'm hosting a lot of things on my home lab using docker compose. I have a private repo in GitHub for the config files.

This is of course working fine, but...
