đź“ť Overview
Tailscale’s keynote replay and UniFi’s push to keep networking systems out of the cloud were among the main items, alongside a restoration project for a 1995 GPS time server that reflects continued interest in self-hosting and legacy hardware. The rest of the bulletin is filled out by Linux configuration and homelab discussion, including guides and live Q&A sessions on virtualization, firewalls and user setup.
A hardware enthusiast restored a 1995 TrueTime XL-AK GPS time server by fitting a Raspberry Pi and GNSS hardware inside it, turning it into a stratum-1 NTP time server with its original display and status lights still working. The project was inspired in part by a recent GPS time server failure that disrupted Australia's mobile service.
