That’s the whole advantage of block chain. You can add more lego blocks to your desk and keep the chain going.

Get a modem and dial up too!

As a person who doesn’t know or understand this stuff at all, just by reading the list of companies and the fact that some of them will pursue this on their own anyway, it seems like this is going to lead nowhere

No, sorry I haven’t tried it with Syncthing. Mainly using it for immich, seafile, a matrix server, some arr apps and a status monitor called dashdot. Would be useful for syncthing though, never thought of trying it - I’ll give it a shot over the weekend and let you know how it goes!

Thanks, it took some prompts but it worked in the end! I used a few subdomains of an actual domain I use for email…

I used chatgpt to create the exact steps, commands and configurations I needed for my setup and achieved this the seemingly cheatful way. I used nginx and certbot. Worked like a charm. Congrats!

Haha touché

I’m in no way a Windows fan. Use manjaro for desktop, and ubuntu for servers as of now but keep trying new distros and love changing all the time, unfortunately. However, I dread to think if I was stuck on another planet with a linux distro without internet access to troubleshoot or find out how to do random things…

Out of those I’ve tried hetzner and milesweb and I thought hetzner was better in terms of ping times for me and easy to use

This is really cool, thanks for sharing.

Why would it take 2 to 3 hrs? Download time of container images?

Access denied, there are no hamburgers in India

Servarica is well priced, and Hetzner is what I ended up using after trying many

Let’s see how this goes - I’m almost there but I chickened out and got manjaro first to get a taste, next mission is pure arch!

Time to get a VPS my friend, and figure out what needs to be hosted at home and on the VPS, and make things sync wherever required, and perfect your VPS with the right distro

Same with Manjaro for me

Great, after reading the words City Connection, that music will be stuck in my head for a week

I got into the idea of selfhosting my photos, and wanted facial recognition to search them. I also wanted a selfhosted chat server. Nextcloud came as the obvious choice that did both. After days of tinkering and fixing errors in the log one by one, everything worked except the facial recognition which said everything was fine but the faces just didn’t get recognised. Also the mobile experience for Memories wasn’t the best. Then luckily I came across immich and it was up and running in about 5-6 mins of configuration max, and it has better facial recognition than the main big commercial option. Insane. For chat I got a synapse server with coturn which also took about 15 mins of docker composing and setting configurations/accounts to my liking.

(I still think Nextcloud is cool but it’s overkill and loaded with too many features I don’t need + installation is a task & documentation/online support communities are scattered between the various methods of installation)

I’ve been dabbling in self hosting recently and found that chatgpt can help you setup a lot if you don’t get annoyed and keep fixing your prompts. It even writes out your docker compose files for you and you can ask it questions on what things mean and what’s linked to each other. If you do try it out though, avoid giving personal info like passwords in the chat.
