Am electrician and live in a double-wide so I haven’t tinkered with it beyond swapping some devices. Feels good to be able to just do stuff like this, as simple as it is. I was not raised to be very handy so learning all this has been a deliberate process.

Uh, this doesn’t count as a legal, professional consultation and you should always seek a licensed professional when it comes to electricity in your home.

      Self hosted is a dangerous community man. I swear I’m going to end up maintaining as much infra at home as I do at work.

        Lol for real, I made the mistake of hosting stuff a couple other people also use, so I get the on call experience too

        Tell me about it. I just purchased 2 Dell R740s I had been mulling over. Figure tariffs are going to jack their price so better pull the trigger now.

        Toil away maintaining servers at work, and then toil away maintaining servers when you get back home. The bonus for doing it at home is you’re not even getting paid.

        UGHHHH Imagine having to make a JIRA board at home to keep track of your projects

      That’s the goal buddy

      I installed Mint on my laptop a few months ago, then I got this used custom desktop from a friend for basically nothing, so imma use it as a gaming / home network server I think. I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can :)
