I’d say you need storage. Once you get storage, use cases start popping up into view over time.

If you want to stay fully self-hosted, look into Headscale. You could run it locally with a port open, or you could throw it on the tiniest cloud VM somewhere and have zero ports open at home.

I’m doing the same with Apache in a container. Using Let’s Encrypt with DNS challenge for SSL certificate. The DNS records point to the reverse proxy IP which is only accessible via VPN (Tailscale). 😂

The most reliable Linux OS out there, software and community. If there’s still people and computers in 50 years, Debian will still be around.

This is nice but it appears to be around A55 performance which is similar to the SiFive cores. I’m eager to see high speed cores that match the upper end of the ARM core range. And if they’re happen to be open source…

Give us Banana Pi with SMIC-made, fast RISC-V processor. That’ll be the beginning of the end for ARM and all the report you need to show.

That kinda makes sense at this stage. If you spend time understanding what those commands do, you’d understand how the system works, and most importantly how to not fuck it up. Keep in mind there’s a lot of misinformation and bad practices in guides out there. People who bare know more than you feel confident to share snippets without warning. Ten or twenty years ago much fewer people had experience with Linux and most people confident enough to write were technical people that knew what they were talking about. Destructive misinformation was less.

But yeah when you learn, the need or urge to reinstall disappears. I stopped reinstalling in 2014. Took me 9 years to unfuck my Windows brain and understand enough to not shoot myself in the feet. Main machine hasn’t been reinstalled since then. That’s with replacing multiple main boards, switching AMD > Intel > AMD, changing SSDs, going from single SSD to mdraid, increasing in size over time, etc.

Sir, this is not Windows.
