Power, Domain Name (if using a standard paid one instead of the cheaper route), VPN are the 3 that I pay for that I feel are the bare minimum.

I pay for a domain that’s $12, but you could easily get the $1 ones for the same purposes. I pay for a static and service VPN with Windscribe, which comes out to be like $35+$89 respectively. So that’s already $136 a year excluding the cost of power. I could cut that cost easily, but I use them for more than just my selfhosting so I feel like it’s a fair price for what I get out of it.

Should discussion posts be labeled other?

I did attempt it a bit but I was having issues. Definitely the way I’m trying to go though!

I’m wondering how it goes with online game for instance (wouldn’t it be a no-go for many casual users?

I’ve wondered the same honestly. I’m able to connect to servers, never been an issue, but if I want to host my own game server it’s only available locally and no ports are ever exposed (understandably, since they don’t exist lol). Been a real hassle that’s for sure!

I’d be interested in a networking section. My biggest hurdle in self-hosting is that my ISP uses CG/NAT, so no port forwarding. This has made even simple applications difficult to set up. It seems the easiest workaround is to set them up through a domain, which I’ve tried and had no luck with. A mix of not my forte and there being few straightforward guides.

You can buy Gwenyth Paltrow’s goop jade egg and you’ll receive it, that doesn’t mean it’s not a scam.

What’s promising about it? I looked through the website but didn’t see much other than that I could install it or buy a computer from them.

I’d be interested solely if I meant I had to do less networking lol

It was honestly hilarious how bad it was and how much it could slow the system down in some situations. I’d be curious to see just how much of it was a byproduct of HDD’s - that is to say, just how slow is it even in solid state drives!

But after the 2.5 years it takes to build the Windows index wouldn’t it be the same - just searching through a built index?

Somewhat surprisingly the fediverse has been much kinder for Linux learners than my experience everywhere else online the last decade :)

Been thinking themes more recently though. WolvesDen for my server, thinking of expanding on that some.
