Had a disk failure recently on the NAS box and lost a chunk of backups - fortunately, all the other boxes remained up, so not all was lost.
Also moved to a new IP range this week (as my employer now has transit via their own POP in Telehouse).
Installed a couple of things on my self-hosting setup:
Suhosin
APC
That should make things a little more secure and also a little faster (even just using the byte-code cache)
If all goes well, I shall be rebuilding one of the web servers here in the office (its already on an ESXi setup, so firing up a new one should not be too bad!) with my new found knowledge and securing/speeding that up too :)
I am also planning on moving my home server from the dining room (bottom of shelves behind things) into the sun lounge and from a P4 2.0Ghz Dell Optiplex SX260 (w/ 512mb RAM) onto a rack mounted Celeron 2.4Ghz (w/ 1.5Gb RAM). Should be a matter of swapping the hard disks over. Try that with a windows box!
