Apart from the things below which I'm hosting locally, I also have a few things hosted at OVH and Hetzner until I can build a better and more reliable home server.

One of the things running in the cloud is a Matrix server. I use some Mautrix bridges to bridge Whatsapp, Signal, and Discord to Matrix. You can reach me on Matrix at @julian:julianvos.nl.

I also have a small VPS hosting this website. It's behind Cloudflare, and because this website is only static assets, it should be cached completely causing minimal traffic to the actual VPS. We'll see how that works out.

My media server is an old PC I bought around 2016. It was a pre-built, but I upgraded the PSU and GPU over time.

Overall, it's pretty shitty and already was when I bought it. The ram is perpetually at 98% usage, one of the disks just increased its error count to 1147, and the entire thing reboots when I try to use the GPU for transcoding. I plan to replace it as soon as possible.

It runs TrueNAS Scale. It's mainly used as a media server.
