  • The weirdest one that we had recently that comes to mind is when my wife has an MRI recently, they gave us the scans on a DVD. We had no external drive or any other way to view it / transfer it to a USB.

  • Honestly, I learned a ton from these guys: https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/

    I've diverged a good bit since then of the services I've added and the specifics of how I configure things (I still use Traefik whereas I think they've shifted to Nginx), but they have a great example of a GitHub repo and what it looks like to manage a self-hosted server.

  • For #2 and #3, it’s probably exceedingly obvious, but wish I would have truly understood ssh, remote VS Code, and enough git to put my configs on a git server.

    So much easier to manage things now that I’m not trying to edit docker compose files with nano and hoping and praying I find the issue when I mess something up.

  • Also, since Google is free, you can just keep it open forever on the off chance that you miss something (which you almost certainly did), and then like the above person said, just doing it slowly over time. Takes a while but you don’t have to do it all in one sitting.

    Though I would recommend getting a personal domain and using that with Proton (or literally anyone else at that point). That way you never have to update emails with services again since you can just port from one provider to another.

  • And it is wife / parent / grandparent approved in my household!

    It’s good enough that once I taught my mom to use it, she then went and taught my grandma and now we’ve got the whole fam on a family plan. It’s seriously so good.

  • Tbh I don’t need the absolute fastest speeds and I’m fine with some lag if the network is “congested,” so I’m happy with the $25/mo one. I live in a smaller town so YMMV of course.
