I’m still interested in Self-Hosting but I actually tried getting into self-hosting a year or so ago. I bought a s***** desktop computer from Walmart, and installed window server 2020 on it to try to practice on that.
Thought I could use it to put some bullet points on my resume, and maybe get into self hosting later with next cloud. I ended up not fully following through because I felt like I needed to first buy new editions of the server administration and network infrastructure textbooks I had learned from a decade prior, before I could continue with giving it an FQDN, setting it up as a primary DNS Server, or pointing it at one, and etc.
So it was only accessible on my LAN, because I was afraid of making it a remotely accessible server unless I knew I had good firewall rules, and had set up the primary DNS server correctly, and ultimately just never finished setting it up. The most ever accomplished was getting it working as a file server for personal storage, and creating local accounts with usernames and passwords for both myself and my mom, whom I was living with at the time. It could authenticate remote access through our local Wi-Fi, but I never got further.
You fucking idiots who argue “anything done by the Right no matter how tame is violence, and anything done by the Left no matter how abusive or violent is righteous” are apparently all over this platform. I joined this app cause I was curious about this platform that claimed to be Reddit Lite, but now I see this place is just an echo chamber for Left-leaning gaslighting narcissists.
You won’t even acknowledge that a right-wing protest in which no one attempted to perpetrated an act of violence is not “violence”, or acknowledge that you are blatantly determining what constitutes violence solely upon the political party that someone claims, and not upon the actions being perpetrated and then gaslighting people about it. So, go fuck yourselves. 😘
