Video from GamersNexus on the importance of self-hosting, with some nice references like Rustdesk, Tailscale and Cory Doctorow
But I didn’t understand, when they were showcasing a rack computer starting at around 20:20, who Wendell (the guy with glasses) meant with they who made that computer. What platform is that, what’s its name?
- In Wendells own video he’s mentioning 45drives, a custom server manufacturer. - that’s it, thank you 
 
- Nice, but I quite didn’t understand the utility of this video - On the one hand they were talking selfhosting and then they pull out multiple $10s thousands rack servers. People don’t need a data centre at home to sync some files, pictures, email and play some media! - Wendell and Serve The Home in general have totally lost the “home” focus. Sure, I love reading about cutting edge 800GbE transceivers… but they hardly ever cover actually practical home stuff anymore. Their network switch reviews are the only thing vaguely applicable left. 
- Out of touch 
 
 
- No GN video with Wendell is worth watching. There is nothing in it except Wendell’s three poses he takes in every video. - GN should do what they usually do, not this. 
- thanks 
 
- It is a 45 Drives Stornado F1. A similar used chassis would be a Dell R730xd
