Man, I know that feeling. One thing that helped me better deal with issues like this, was to have a changelog. Basically I write down what a setting was, what I changed it to and a reason. If something goes wrong, I can at least undo what changes I’ve made and see if it helps. It’s not perfect, but it might shave some hours off a RCA.

Absolutely agree. I have been thinking of starting a selfhost guide that takes you through the different ways to selfhost and the basic concepts of it, but gave up because I’m a shit writer and my experiences are mostly docker, k8s and Terraform/OpenTofu.

This is the same strategy I use with my family as well, I refer to a service they know and then tell them it’s in our house.

AFAIK, there are many countries that have pizza with ingredients considered unusual outside that country. For example, in Brazil they have chocolate pizza.

Now would be the time for a scramble suit startup.

Yes, always!

The point about decentralization is absolutely the fediverse, however my shower thought is basically the second point, where the hyped technology known as blockchain really is only something old called linked lists, which basically is an object holding a reference to the next object in a chain (linked list) or a reference to the previous and next objects in the chain (double linked list). This is essentially how webrings worked.

Same, but I do have my own community away from work and have always prioritized my friends over co-workers.

Currently rewriting my homelab into terraform and adding some redundancies using cloud environments, in case of power outages or network issues.

There are others, but I do not know if they’re good or not.

Obviously, otherwise we’d be privateers, which is not even cool.

Well, no regulation means we can be space pirates and fuuuuck Google up.

Currently trying to figure out how to create and maintain an internal CA in order to enable pod to pod TLS communication, while using letsencrypt for my public ingresses.

From someone who’s used CVS, clearcase and even subversion, git has really been a massive timesaver.

Well they could spend some money on fixing all the fucking security holes backdoors that has plagued xG for years, they could increase coverage everywhere, but especially in rural areas, or any other plethora of issues with wireless communication.

Couldn’t agree more. At first when I read it, I was like “wow”, the my logical brain did a re-read and I was like “doubt”.

Excellent point, thank you!

I use dperson/samba, which is both simple and comes with usage examples.

I will be moving my entire homelab to a different country, which currently consist of two kubernetes nodes, a NAS and various home automation devices. I will be scaling down gradually, taking cold storage backups of everything and plan to resurrect everything on new hardware once I have moved.
