Matrix bridging that seems one of the further ones in development, containing bridging to XMPP as well

Built on intel socket 1155 (a mainboard staple for a long time) this details all the components necessary for a stable and durable DIY NAS in a normal tower enclosure (or a rack or a small form factor or a...).

Super in-depth, lots of alternatives and even contains well thought out searches for ebay already as well. Amazing!

A thorough explanation of (almost) automatically converting your markdown-written mails into both plaintext (keeping the markdown) and html versions and send both as alternative mime types.

That will display html for those clients who can and fall back (or prefer) plaintext for those who don't want to (e.g. neomutt commandlines).

Uses a manually invoked macro (by pressing a letter before sending the mail) to convert the message though I wonder if it could be done automatically through e.g. a send-hook

An in-depth explanation of what to expect and do when you buy into Western Digital Easystores (and presumably similar WD Elements etc hard drives).

Contains shucking advice contains 3.3V fix advice for internal SATA connections.

An introduction, almost like a check-list from the very basics with links to more advanced reading, to get Proxmox and ZFS set up together.

In this article, Nick gives an introduction to ZFS which is a good place to start for the novice user who is contemplating ZFS on Linux or TrueNAS

Quick-glance but in-depth explanations for many topics surrounding ZFS - highly worth a read!

How to track your own position with GPS and use the data in interesting ways -

I am especially fond of the 'magic clock' pointing to your current location (Home, Travelling, Shopping, Pub, ...) which strongly reminds me of Harry Potter wizardry. Put it in a nice enclosure and it's a really neat thing for home.
