kumiokun··on Setting Up an RK3588 SBC QEMU Hypervisor with ZFS on Debian
Depends on your use-case. For a headless server those are more often than not irrelevant.
kumiokun··on Nation-scale Matrix deployments will fail using the community version of Synapse
Yeah, as a past contributor and long-running homeserver admin I feel pretty rugpulled here. This violates the expectations set in past communications. Synapse was something very different to Element.

(This would at least for me have had a very different taste and reception if the private for-profit alternative would have been done under a different branding than "Synapse Pro" and not hijacking matrix.org community channels to promote it. They don't seem to be able to keep their hats and chairs properly separated)

Thank you for kind words ^^

A travel router build is def something on my list already! So far I've come up short with stable wifi chipsets+drivers under Linux recently, though, and that's even before I start being picky about firmware licensing... Got any tips?

Nice, thanks for sharing!

One piece of feedback on the benchmarks: Using the same disk (type) would make them a lot more interesting and useful.

Comparing RK3588 to N5105 IOPS for either SATA/NVMe/USB would be interesting comparison. Still, much appreciate that you took time to share what you have and understand you probably worked with what you had at the time ^^

Author here! Currently taking requests for follow-ups you'd like to see for this budding blog where we will stand up cloud together. (Including you Intel N-series diehards, if you flame hard enough I might write something for you too ;) Seriously though I think both platforms have their use-cases. Here we get more cores per buck and less power per node)

So far have not seen stability issues on the mentioned 6.12 current-rockckip-rk3588 kernel but time will tell!
