Anybody into self-hosting?

Post by bobalot »

I have recently gotten into it.

My general IT skills have risen and the barrier to entry has fallen enough to the point even a doofus like me can have their own server for media, hosting webpages, etc.

I'm looking to transfer stuff from the "cloud" (under the control of techbro dickheads) to a physical box I can see. Already working on transferring google photos to immich,etc.

Anybody else into this?

Btw, I really miss the old forum scene. Hunting for information through mostly unnecessarily long youTube videos, discord (search kind of sucks), etc. is a massive pain.

Not all the time, but I self-host a Foundry VTT server for remote D&D games with my friends who've moved away. I only put it up when we're actually playing, though, for obvious reasons.
It's Rogue, not Rouge!
