Options if it’s to protect against local disasters such as fire:

1. Having a NAS at a family member / friends house as a backup location for your NAS (over vpn) is an option. Works best if they also need an offsite backup with you being able to spare space for it on your NAS in return.
2. Having at least two usb drives as backup locations for the NAS and rotated as often as you think necessary and having at least one stored offsite at a family member / friends house.
3. Rent a proper 1U rack space in the city data centre and setup your own “cloud”, definitely the most expensive option and total overkill if offsite backup is the only reason.

Personally I would probably go for option two and bring the usb drive with me for a weekly coffee with my parents, they’d enjoy the visit and I enjoy knowing that my backup isn’t in the hands of Amazon. I’d go for option 1 if my internet was better.

Here they talk about the issue and its limitations and it seems they missed the workaround mentioned below in the writeup:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/yelp/-/issues/221#note_2392999

This attack has some limitations:

• Attacker needs to know the unix username of the victim.
• Browsers ask the user for permission on redirects to custom schemes.

However, the initial current working directory (CWD) of applications started by GNOME (e.g., using Alt+F2 or dock shortcuts) is the user’s home directory. As a result, the CWD of Chrome and Firefox is also set to the user’s home directory. We can abuse this behavior to point to the victim’s Downloads folder and bypass the first condition.

I imagine they expect releasing a version without OLED first and one with OLED later will give them double sales with many nintendo fans, just like what happened to the switch.

I can’t find any proper tests on the matter but here’s someone with the Thinkpad X13 with the same CPU answering the battery question.

GOG stands for Good Old Games and preserving those and fixing them to be playable on modern systems is part of their business plan. Install GOG Galaxy and you can install the games with a few clicks, after buying them of course.

How easy and expensive would it be to swap this with US English?

On the T14 (not T14s) it is easy. See https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/videos/nvid500443-replacing-your-keyboard-thinkpad-t14-and-p14s-gen-1-and-2-customer-self-service
Seems to be available from ~30USD https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Keyboard-5N20V44072-5N20V43774-5N20X68864/dp/B0B3RV3LK5
ifixit has genuine parts for ~75USD https://www.ifixit.com/products/5n20v44072-lenovo-laptop-keyboard-genuine

As a result I imagine more users will look at other offerings such as Jellyfin.

Router: opnsense/pfsense
Switch: I guess look at something like Open vSwitch After some more reading I would go for a proprietary managed switch here. WiFi/Mesh network: OpenWrt with 802.11r setup - https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/roaming
Server: Proxmox or Debian Bookworm with KVM/Qemu
Docker/Kubernetes: Portainer CE version as a VM in Proxmox - https://github.com/portainer/portainer
Collab software: https://github.com/nextcloud/server
Server Backup: Proxmox backup server or Borg backup/Restic
Client backup: Borg backup/Restic

Most of my data are on 2x16TB HDDs running an mdraid1 and then I backup it all to a usb drive with Borg Backup.
The os.qcow2 files live on my m.2 NVMe and are manually backuped to the mdraid1 before running the borg backup.
I should automate the borg backup but currently I just do it manually a few times a month.
Would also like to have two usb drives and keep one offline in another part of the house but that’s another future project.

Open them up with a screwdriver and then either smash the disks inside or continue dissassembling it for fun before destroying the disks.

Interesting, gonna check out the selfhosted bookwyrm later.
I’m not much interested in sharing book reviews and the like so I will probably stick to https://calibre-ebook.com/ though.

I went for a tiny Ryzen 7600 (no X), so it comes at the cost of a worse cpu and worse gpu. :)

My server has a gaming vm with gpu passthrough (6650 XT). With my vm powered on and idle the whole server draws about 60w-65w. Monitor not included.

That’s true, if there’s no load then the difference isn’t much money.
I’m running a NAS, some game servers, a forgejo instance and a jellyfin server and more on my machine so it’s never truly idle and I forgot to think about that metric.

Ah right, that rings a bell. Proxmox and Ceph sounds like a perfect experiment for OPs hardware. :)

Yeah, I focused on the I’m just looking for some fun experiments, projects part.
I wouldn’t use the machines for anything other than experimenting for fun, they’re power hungry too if counting per performance.

I would look into setting up a proxmox cluster with high availability on them and from there you can look into fun projects that you can run as proxmox vms or lxcs.

edit: HA seems to require a shared disk, such as a SAN or NAS.
