When I was stationed in Korea some mates and I accompanied a local we worked closely with to Lotte World in Seoul. Our group was mixed: two women, three guys for us Americans and our Korean friend brought along another coworker we weren't familiar with, but ended up becoming fast friends with.
Anyhoo, long story short, the ENTIRE SEOUL SCHOOL DISTRICT decided to show up that day and we were treated to the most friendly, enthusiastic kiddos we'd ever seen.
The kids would gaggle up, giggle, run over to us, say "Hi!" crisply and loudly, and run back to her friends, laughing the whole time.
I hardly remember the rides, but I will never forget seeing those young school kids just having the times of their lives.
You're posting hypothetical questions making assumptions (smart people used to...) with pre-determined responses to those who might question what you think is "logic" when pretty much anyone can see you're likely a tween who found daddy's vape pen.
If it makes you feel better, the very same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Got it loaded, adjusted flow rate, temps, loaded, and the filament proceeded to crack apart. Multiple places.
If you can't find a cheap or available option try contacting a local college of dentistry. Honestly, they're always advertising free or low cost dental care here.
I worked for campus housing networking and we'd get all sorts of free crap. Mouse pads for dogpile.com. Pets.com puppets. Squeeze balls from companies I don't remember anymore.
Get the IP and set up the dns for the new server. Get a cert via Let's Encrypt or self sign to get ssl working, and then start your prep.
On the new host create the new directory structure. Note your folders, paths, and permissions. Set the permissions on the pictrs folder as 991 (sudo chown 991:991 /path/to/pictrs/folder even if that user doesn't exist on your system. It's for the container.
You'll need to edit your yml files, docker compose file, and make sure that the paths are updated, the instance name is correct, and federation is disabled (until testing is done).
Copy pictrs and db folders from old host to new. You can skip pictrs if space is a concern, but you'll lose your instance pics.
Once done, copy over the containers and bring them up.
Check for errors and diagnose as necessary.
Once set, change the federation to on, switch your dns from old server to new, and then perform another sanity test.
It holds the receiver in place. Generally the ridged end is used for wall hanging installs, the flat end stores it away until needed since the desk is horizontal.
I'm doing what you want to do now. I'm running lemmy.fan on a NAS with really good hardware on a fiber connection. My ISP provides symmetric bandwidth and doesn't block anything, though emails can't be sent with a local smtp server since most places don't trust the IP addresses of residential subscribers.
I learned a ton, I'm enjoying running things, and though it's an open instance I don't advertise it. I say go for it. Experiment and have fun. If it sucks and you hate it you just stop the containers.
