Huh good to know thanks!

Maybe it’s ignorance on my part, but my office and the router in the house aren’t on the same circuit.

Or, at least they have different sections in the breaker.

House is brand new, put up in 2021

You can TRY power line adapters:

TP-Link AV2000 Powerline Adapter https://a.co/d/0fa6e3f3

Their application can be hit or miss, but mine have been perfect. Had them just under 2 years. Able to get full bandwidth and no discernable latency addition

Yep same thing.

Moved from Nova to Niagara after trying about 30 different launchers (closed and open) and I don’t think I’ll be changing for quite a long time.

Honestly the single biggest thing to self-hosting is breaking stuff.

Host stuff that seems interesting to you, and dick around with it. If it breaks, read the logs and try to fix. If you can’t, revert to a backup and try to reproduce.

If you start out with things that interest you, you’ll more likely stick with the hobby. From there you can move to hosting things with external access - maybe vpn inside your own network through your router?

From there, get your security in line and host a basic webserver. Something small, low attack vector, and build on it. Then expand!

Definitely recommend docker to start with - specifically docker compose. Read the documentation and mess around!

First container I would host is portainer. General web admin/management panel for containers.

Good luck :).

… I blame the kid’s sleep regression and my lack thereof.

I’ll give this a shot, thanks!

Honestly I’m not super concerned about the contents being public.

As far as a forum/wiki, I’d like it to look like it was meant for this job, those would be a little more on the hefty side just for posting some images/text to.

I would build it myself but I’ve got a 4 month old. Not a ton of time to sit down in React.

This is close, but I’d like to be able to manually add text to each review (for my benefit really) and general x/y star reviews for them.

Also it really wouldn’t need Auth - I’d be the only one actually editing the pages.

This is oddly similar to some informal workups I’ve done for our work network.

Nice work 👍.

This is the way.

Don’t buy for the MINIMUM of what you need now. Give yourself some room to grow.

I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling.

Also, “limiting their consumption to the occasional worthwhile thing” can also be written as:

“spend their well-earned time actually watching something worth the investment”

And “they might even assuage their guilt by paying for it…” as:

“if they find content they enjoy, they’d like to show that monetarily and hopefully boost the production of more content of that same caliber”
