Put HE (dns.he.net) in your back pocket - they run a free DNS service which includes slave (do we still call it that?) service so that you can add their resolver as an ultimate failover / failback if your self hosted DNS takes a dive for whatever reason things break in our world.

Generally, hosting your own DNS “should” mean having a primary and secondary on separate AS networks, or at least different provider routes or locations. But if you’re doing all this from home, where is the second location for DR purposes… exactly? I sure don’t have one, power goes out here everything goes dark - in the old days everyone used to do this (share out tertiary DNS to each other) but it’s become a thing of the past in today’s world. HE can help fill that gap.

To your point - I use Gcore DNS and Bunny DNS for my stuff, as I mainly use online VPSes and don’t run racks of hardware at the house. The only things I physically selfhost at home are a pair of old laptops acting as storage servers which backup all my bytes and bits from online to some SSDs.

…it… it was a joke. but OK thanks for letting us know.

At the top of the Lemmy UI underneath your title is a row of option icons; the icon to the left of the last icon with the three vertical dots - looks like maybe the Copy icon, sorta - is the Crosspost option. Click it and follow your nose, the new community dropdown is at the bottom of that next screen.

I would probably add rubber/etc feet on the cage to keep it from vibrating around as they spin, and maybe a handle for carrying! It’s a mobile laptop after all… :) What if someone tries to snatch-and-grab a HDD while you’re getting a coffee, do we have an alarm system? Lo-jack?
