Welcome to Random Short Take #101. Happy new year. This one is focussed on technology things around the house. Let’s get random.
- Aaron Parker put together a comprehensive guide outlining his experience with setting up a Mac mini as a home server.
- Speaking of the Mac mini, Howard Oakley published a brief history of the Mac mini that made for great reading, particularly if you’re new to the Mac mini.
- Meanwhile, Stephen Foskett put together a great article on how to monitor Linux server stats in Home Assistant. I’ve been looking for ways to waste more of my leisure time, and it might be time to get back into Home Assistant.
- This article from Misty de Meo on what you might miss when backing up CDs is tremendous.
- Want to know how to setup MinIO S3 Object Storage on TrueNAS? Paolo Valsecchi has you covered.
- Chris Wahl has a new podcast available now.
- In press release news, MagStor has joined the Active Archive Alliance.
- I like records, and Sonic Youth, so I found this article on Discogs interesting. Although I can say I don’t have quite the same relationship with records that Thurston Moore does.
