But they are turtles, like every crow is a bird.

Experience matters a lot in practice, but having a degree gives you opportunity to learn fundamentals and to have a broader knowledge base in general. Met a few people without formal education with insane knowledge and skills but absolutely helpless outside of their area of expertise.

Well yeah, no question there, but by itself it kind of doesn’t count?

Do people consider sour cream a sauce?

This is the way to do it in my opinion. There is always an old computer laying somewhere in your house.

Openvpn is still alright, if you want you can try enabling dco it can make it a lot faster.

Bunch of folders by general theme.

There are short forms in ipv4 as well, also you don’t actually need it. 😝

I write everything in text editor first, apply later.

1. emacs + org-roam
2. by using descriptive names for articles and tags
3. everything at the start, trim it down later

I’m not arrogant, just don’t assume that people are dumb and inept. If they can’t or don’t want to give a bit of time to setup it, well how can someone be forced to use free service that causes momentarily inconvenience once to use. 😔

The problem here - it’s not me who requires access to my library, if someone isn’t willing or able to do it, I’m sorry but that’s just how it is. People should stop infantilize non-technical people, absolute majority of them is capable of navigating our world without much problems and I’m willing to help them if help is asked.

If my 60 y.o. mother with close to zero technical skills can do it with limited help (due to distance and other constraints) I’m pretty sure that majority of people with sound mind can.

The solution is mentioned already - use vpn, it will solve 90% of the problems that you can encounter. Also you can serve multiple other services this way without exposing them.

Nothing stops you from using it outside of your house.

Does steam that is a monopolist when it comes to gaming stores even need your support?

Don’t expose jellyfin to the internet is a golden rule.

Why would you?

Arch is extremely easy to use for people that can and want to read documentation.

I have something like homegrown pihole (dnsmasq with block lists) , jellyfin, qbittorrent and nfs/smb share. Everytime when such a post appears there is this irrational desire to create cool monitoring and homepage and homeassistant. Never materialises into anything, after all there is always emacs that requires tinkering if needed. :3

I’m always at awe when people do this for their home like I’ve been managing infra for almost two decades and don’t have even quarter of the things some people install and manage. It looks overwhelming to be honest.

I really like software that is built from plugins, but it needs to have some stable ‘core’ plugins shipped by default, like emacs for example. Nothing by default is pretty useless but it all depends on constraints and requirements.
