Dec 31, 2018 - Home DC 01: Planning my first personal Dev Cloud(s)

Comments

In this post I cover the plan, ideas and hardware for my own private DataCenter / Dev Cloud - project Home DC.

Comments

One of the few things that my next smartphone would need to have was some kind of accelerated filesystem encryption, either hardware or software-based.
