 ====== Home Network ======
 I have far too many computers on my home network, so I decided to start making some of them more useful and see which ones I can make redundant. I have 16 servers, plus a development rig, a laptop, and two Windows machines. The two Windows machines exist because there is some software I have to run on Windows (and doesn't run properly under Wine, Mono or dotnet). One machine is using W10 (and can't be upgraded), so I'm gradually migrating stuff from that to the W11 machine.

 I installed the database on one of my bricks, so applications such as my diary - which is installed on the RPI4 - can fetch data from the brick. The brick has much faster access to the storage (SSD) than the RPI, and in any case is a much more powerful machine.
+====== Summary ======
+My music system plays throughout my home, with the speakers in each room synchronised so there is no audible delay noticeable when moving from one room to another. It's also been leveraged as an alarm clock, automatically switching off all speakers except my bedroom before playing the 'Alarm' playlist. Thanks to the VPN, I can stream music to my phone, and even control the speaker in home remotely.
+My diary system builds on top of this, since it is available through the VPN.
+The ForgeJo system provides an automatic backup of local repositories, and through the VPN allows access to my repos from anywhere. When a project achieves maturity, it can be upstreamed to GitHub using any of several methods, and that would provide off-site backups - nobody wants to lose everything in a fire!
+I can now easily access administrative consoles for all my computers even when I'm outside the home, and all are safely protected behind hardware and software firewalls, with access only granted through the VPN.
