I switched to Fogejo just by swapping out the image. So far gitea hasn't been malicious with its trademarks now being owned by a private company, but I feel better using software that is more closely tied to a nonprofit. I see no reason to switch back.

- You host it yourself
- You can get a cool domain name
- It's pretty low maintenance
I have owned and otherwise dealt with a few different Startech 4-post open racks and have been very happy with them. I currently use one of their 25U racks for my lab, but am running out of space...
I started on Gitlab, which was a monster to run. I moved to Gitea, until the developers started doing some questionable things. Now I'm on Forgejo (a fork of Gitea).
Yeah, all I know is that I am definitely seeing images loaded in from domains other than that of my instance as I load/scroll pages, which I want to be loaded via my instance for privacy reasons.
I believe the Pictrs is a hard dependency and Lemmy just won't work without it, and there is no way to disable the caching. You can move all of the actual images to object storage as of v0.4.0 of Pictrs if that helps.
Other fediverse servers like Mastodon actually (can be configured to) proxy all remote media (for both privacy and caching reasons), so I imagine Lemmy will move that way and probably depend even more on Pictrs.
IIRC Lemmy preloads all thumbnails for posts in communities you subscribe to into pictrs to be cached for like a month or something. So, yeah...
The servers aren't even identified in the listing as R610s (or E01S, they misread that as "EOLS"), so who knows...
Lemmy has a feature/setting called "Private instance" that I think could be used to achieve this, but I think that got broken at some point because it got tied to turning federation off... not sure what the current state is but may be worth looking into.
I switched from Plex to Jellyfin several years ago and haven't really looked back. Overall I just didn't like the direction plex kept going (pushing shit streaming services, central auth, paywalling features), and dropped it even though I grabbed a lifetime plex pass back in the day. The only thing I miss about plex was the ease of developing a custom plugin for it since you could pretty much just drop python scripts in there and have it work, though their documentation for plugin development was terrible (and I think removed from their site entirely).
I love tinc, it's so simple. I wish there were something just as easy that leveraged wireguard instead of whatever custom VPN/tunneling stuff tinc uses, as using it scares me with how seemingly little maintenance tinc gets. Like if tailscale/headscale and tinc had a baby, haha.
Is there a way to run tinc on your phone or similar? To me that's another bonus of tailscale at least.

Laptops/desktopes: no real naming scheme, they use non-static DHCP leases anyway.
Physical servers: NATO phonetic alphabet. If I run out of letters something has gone terribly ~~wrong~~ right.
VMs: I don;t have many of these left, but they are named according to their function and then a digit in case I need more. e.g. docker1, k3s1. This does mean that I have some potential oddities like a k3s cluster with foxtrot, alpha, and k3s1 as members, but IMO that's fine and lets me easily tell if something is physical or virtual. I am considering including the physical machine name in the VM name for new things as I no longer have things set up such that machines can migrate... though I haven't made a new VM in some time.
Network equipment: Named according to location and function. e,g, rack-router, rack-10g, rack-back-1g, rack-ap, upstairs-10g, upstairs-ap. If something moves or is repurposed it is likely getting reconfigured so renaming at that point makes sense.
