I’m not sure anyone shares the same glee I feel when I view all the blocked IPs scrolling by in my pFsense firewall. Suricata does a lot of heavy lifting for sure.

What’s your selfhosting guilty pleasure or pleasures?

        I bought the server hardware 3 years ago, so when the prices of ram were also fine. Today it’s not fun anymore… I really hope those ram and nvne prices go down again! I can’t upgrade anything now.

          It’s a trade off. Buy older equipment and DDR3 is cheap. I dropped 40 more gb on the server for about $45 USD. The downside is that older equipment is not as energy efficient and as fast as newer equipment.

          Realistically, 1gbit connection is good for uploading and downloading huge architectural plans, but other than that, I rarely use anything close to it’s max capacity. It’s like having a killer sports car that will go 0 to 60 in a few seconds, but you rarely have the need to do that.

            Fact. I only use more then 1gbit/s for file transfers internally between computers or between the server and a computer.
