  • omg I literally had to check if I had written this. We are almost the same.

    Main difference is that I have a working understanding about linux file structure and am comfortable with text files, but I have only on a couple of occasions even attempted anything with docker. it makes me tired to think about.

    Other than that I so feel you on changing things, not knowing what actually fixed the problem. And then having to re-learn everything from scratch on another occasion. I also feel there is a limit to how much I want to learn. I have no aspirations to do this for a living or to become extremely proficient. I have spent the past couple of weekends struggling with drives and shares and permissions etc. It should be simple but it’s hard and takes such a long time.

    On your advice because it sounds like you are in a similar situation I will try it.


  • I’ve been slowly dipping my toes into self hosting.

    What are the risks or disadvantages of using something like this? My plan has been to run debian with whatever services. Reading about this, it seems very complex and that makes me worried that it is more to go wrong.

    On the other hand, it’ll be 10 years til I learn how to do all this myself.

    So is it a good idea or not?
