I believe this is it, but do your own research before using it for anything important!

If you’re behind a CG NAT (carrier grade NAT), you’ll be doubly in trouble as it will be essentially impossible to get a forwarded port since your “IP” is essentially a LAN address within your ISP’s CG NAT, if that makes sense.

Oh no I got the comic, I just don’t know how to feel about stupid sexy Santa

I’m so confused

I can’t remember the original version of the comic, what does each one of them say?

Do y’all seriously not get any sort of pride out of the work you do? Feelings of accomplishment when you do a good job on something? Recognition from your peers?

People that don’t like me yet

The only way I knew my coworker was a lesbian was because she told me about her wife. Literally just be a normal human, and no one will think either way.

There is no Eragon movie ಥ_ಥ

I’m an idiot and never linked the link

1. I got started with a guide from these guys back in 2020. I still use traefik as my reverse proxy and Authelia for authentication and it has worked great all this time. As someone else said, everything is in containers on the one host and it is super easy this way. It all runs on a single box using containers for separation. I should probably look into a secondary server as a live backup, but that’s a lot of work / expense. I have a Cloudflare dynamic DNS container running for that.
2. I would definitely advocate for owning your own domain, for the added use case of owning your own email addresses. I can now switch email providers and don’t have to worry about losing anything. This would also lean towards a more memorable domain, or at least a second domain that is memorable. Stay away from the country TLDs or “cute” generic TLDs and stay with a tried and true .com or .net (which may take some searching).
3. I don’t bother with this, I just run my server behind Cloudflare, and let them protect my server. Some might disagree, but it’s easy for me and I like that.
4. Containers, containers, containers! Probably Docker since it’s easy, but Podman if you really want to get fancy / extra secure. Also, make sure you have a git repo for your compose files, and a solid backup strategy from the start (so much easier than going back and doing it later). I use Backblaze for my backups and it’s $2/month for some peace of mind.
5. Do it!!!

We got one of these hoodies for our dog, and I think he might actually like wearing it, and he hates most clothes

Ngl it’s in the weird uncanny valley for me too, I’m not sure what is going on.

This is true! There is no accounting for sentimentality.

There are certainly better investment options. You don’t see Jeff Bezos sinking his fortune into Rolexi

I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to write this out. I definitely had stereotypes about NJ being less than pleasant based on all the memes, but I realize I should probably reconsider that. A wine -> casino -> boardwalk tour sounds like it could be fun (I have no idea of the geography so no clue if this is possible).

I thought that’s genuinely how they did it at high end restaurants to make sure you have a perfectly portioned bit of pasta cooked to the right doneness. I swear I’ve seen this method on Hell’s Kitchen.

Granted, I may be thinking about something else vs what you’re talking about but still.

Hey, I’m pretty slow… the second that I heard the guitar riff I understood the joke immediately, but I did need the help!

OMAD?
