Setup BIND9 DNS Server on Debian 10 in an internal network

When running different systems on your internal network (e.g. as services on your homelab) it would be nice not to have to memorize the IP addresses of all the server.

You can achieve this by either using the given DNS functionality of your router (e.g. on a tomato router firmware) or by setting up an internal DNS server yourself using the BIND9 DNS server.

Setup NGINX HTTP Server on Debian 10

You want to host your own blog or a website for your personal project, but you don’t want to use shared hosting?

Host your website on an own Virtual Private Server (VPS). You can use any of the many cloud service providers (like AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Linode, digitalocean) to spin up a VPS which will serve your content.

Run Windows 10 VM in VirtualBox on MacOS

If you’re a MacOS user then sometimes you need to run Windows for some particular reasons like special website tests (in the native Edge web browser). An easy & free way to do this is by using VirtualBox to run Windows 10 on your MacOS computer.

You can achieve this using the free virtualization software VirtualBox and the time limited (90 days) evaluation version of Windows 10 (Enterprise).
