Honestly it feels that way for a while then something new comes along. I just started mine around this time last year, added a NAS and a VPS, and then aside from small tweaks and daily updates there hasn’t been much to do.
But now I’m thinking I want to shrink my single monolithic proxmox VM to separate out some services to their own VMs (one for pihole/unbound, one for very personal services like paperless and actualbudget, one for any exposed services, etc). On top of that, I’m thinking of setting up an additional server or VPS for social media instances and such.
Kinda feels like it comes in waves. Set up a ton of stuff, let it sit for a few months, do it all again

I run a super minimal setup for my server and home network devices but I still like to see how the self-hosting scene is evolving. It’s changed so much in the last year alone.
I think one reason why I choose to run such a minimal setup is because there’s so many trust issues that seem to be developing over time with so many different projects. At the very least, every weekly newsletter keeps me inspired to keep creating my own projects.
Recently I just finished writing my own back up system including rotating out old backups using only rsync and POSIX portable shell commands. I wrote the scripts to be adaptable to many uses outside of just backups so I am really proud of how they turned out.
My next self-hosting project is something far more absurd and I’m excited to start developing it.
