What’s below not enough?

I imagine most people that do this are already IT professionals. Or if they can does this they should be IT professionals. The difference between what I get paid to do and self-hosting is generally the scope and cost of the hardware. That’s about it.

Why Apple hasn’t mad the iPad mini a CarPlay screen is beyond me. You can do it with an android tablet but not an iPad.

I have seen the temporary->permanent happen so many times even in enterprise IT.

I’m not a windows hater per se, but I am for using the best tool for the job.

And in my opinion windows is not the best tool for self hosting. There are things windows does work well for that meshes well with self hosting and that’s docker. Honestly I’d focus on that for a lot of reasons but primarily because it’s a very easy to deploy self contained way to provide services. And the differences between docker on windows and Linux is almost negligible.

Sustainable sustainable sustainable sustainable sustainable sustainable sustainable. Sustainable sustainable sustainable sustainable sustainable sustainable.

Ok I’m arguing for containers/VMs and granted I do this for a living… I’m a systems architect so I build VMs and containers pretty much all the time time at work… but having just one sorta beefy box at home that I can run lots of different things is the way to go. Plus I like to tinker with things so when I screw something up, I can get back to a known state so much easier.

Just having all this things sandboxed makes it SO much easier.

I really thought the same thing. But it truly is super easy. At least just the containers like docker. Not kubernetes, that shit is hard to wrap your head around.

Plus if you screw up one service and mess everything up, you don’t have to rebuild your whole machine.

It’s just a matter of time before those are enshittified as well.
