I started the year with a big month of problem solving. Nothing really exciting, I mostly did home maintenance: cleaning, DIY, hard drive replacement, archiving, power supply replacement, setting up a home server, making better backups for all devices at home, centralizing family photo albums, converting media, etc... etc... It was a bit of a never-ending rabbit hole once you started down it. But a pleasant one, because all the various little improvements were immediately rewarding.
@thomy2000@fosstodon.org@davidrevoy What hardware are you using for the home server? I've been wanting to set one up but I don't know what to use.
@thomy2000 That was a long quest: I wanted something cheap, that doesn't consume a lot, fanless (no sound), and with a bios that can reboot auto after a power cut without pressing a button. I choosed a Asus PN41 https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/mini-pcs/pn-series/mini-pc-pn41/ , I found one for 265€ on a website selling refurbished hardware. I'm happy about it so far. I hope it will have a long life being always connected and runing hidden under my desk. 
@davidrevoy Sounds interesting. I've been looking for good, efficient hardware for a while but finding something that will stay reliable and easy to maintain isn't easy. The fact that it can resume after power loss sounds interesting. Even less maintenance that way.
