What? I have opnSense how would I filter spam with it?

Zfs for some reasons is always loved by the self hosting experts.

Personally I don’t like it because it’s over complicated and not officially part of the Linux kernel.

20y of self hosting for me means Linux software raid (raid1 then moved to raid5) and mostly ext4, recently (=last 2 years) upgraded to btrfs on my data raid. Btrfs at least is integrated in the Linux kernel and while has some drawbacks (don’t do raid with btrfs, put btrfs on MD raid instead) its been super rock solid.

I would have kept ext4, but thought why not try btrfs, and it’s been so smooth that I had no reasons to go back.

I only wash my clothes if pee or poop myself…

I think I washed my clothes last time last decade? That was a waste! But you know, better safe than sorry!

Garmin bike computers connected via USB cables let you download any activity…

Honestly in the sport tracking world, Garmin devices can be used 100% offline, don’t need online activation and all data is accessible (raw) with an USB cable.

Its still proprietary software on very expensive hardware.
