Comment on How to prepare a self-hosted machine I gift to remote friends - Learning Together

What does this question even mean (no I don’t want to listen to a podcast to find out)?
Sometimes I think people have been using the term “self-hosted” to mean what we used to call a home PC. I have always thought of a hosted computer (whether self-hosted or hosted by a company) as meaning a server which normally would live in a data center, and sometimes even means a rented box or VPS on which you self-host by installing and managing the software yourself (as opposed to using managed hosting or cloud services).
So what is it that your friends are going to do with the machine? That would be pretty important about how you prepare it.

The link is to podcast.james.network. Why would I expect it to be something other than a podcast?

The in-body link is to the podcast, but the post itself is a link to discuss.james.network which is a transcription of the guide

You should explain that in the post body, not expect someone to click a link that says “podcast” in hope of getting a non-podcast.

err, I don’t actually know what you mean by question. Your response is to a how to guide. Anyways, cheers since you aren’t interested. No worries.

Until August 2024 only .arpa was reserved for residential network services. Glad to hear there is something new less akward!

I see, you are trying to make a home theater PC (HTPC). That would be a clearer term to use.

It is running way more than that. Serving my media has been my starting application for explaining this process.
