Have you thought about building your own? You build a server out of a case like this IN WIN. What OS do you plan to use? Do you need Windows share ability? Are you willing to go with larger SSDs instead of spinning disks? If you give me some more details, I might be able to help you. I am not a fan of Dell.

I wouldn’t do this if I were you because any of your activity can be traced back to you via your credentials.

rDNS is something that is not set up by your domain registrar. It’s set up by your ISP or cloud VM provider.

I don’t know of one specifically for clothing but I know of a great ERP free open source software called ERPnext. This could easily work for you.

I cuurently use one of three registrars: Namecheap, Cloudflare, or Porkbun. Porkbun is my favorite and I will move my domains to them as they expire.

I’m working on my free online, self-paced web development class called The Odin Project. I’ve an idea to eventually write a blogging platform for my own use as I don’t like what’s out there. And I’m thinking of a career pivot from desktop support to web development.

Have you looked at Krita and Blender?

Ah, I thought as much because they’re really power-efficient unlike something DIY.

What is your NAS? Is it something you built or a Synology?

Not only is a DIY UPS unreliable, but it could be potentially dangerous unless you are an electrician, an electrical engineer, or somebody that has extensive knowledge of both the engineering side and safety side. How many CyberPower units do you have? It’s impressive that you have enough UPS power to run a NAS for that long.

I use BTRFS simply because I run a rolling distro of Linux. For the average user, I don’t think it is quite as necessary but the snapshots are nice. Of course, you could use timeshift to make snapshots as well.

I have a Dell OptiPlex 7050 acting as a router. But I don’t do any port forwarding. Instead, I have an Oracle Always Free VM that is connected to my server via a WireGuard tunnel. The cloud VM acts as reverse proxy to all of the services that I host. The OptiPlex 7050 is running OpenBSD.

6 months now and they love it.

I like Nemo as well!

LOL! Not necessarily. I got three of my friends converted to Linux. They’re running Linux Mint

Yes, there is no avoiding that. But it’s a way of saying that the executable was built by you.

You might be able to adapt OpenBSD’s signify software for your purpose.

Have you tried Inkscape?

You could simply gut it, keep the case and power supply, and put modern components in it.
