Its true all i have are cat pictures and grafana dashboards
Me after mailing tape backups to a vault in every country so my cat pics and ps2 iso's can survive ww3
Edit: perfect nerd bait this site is all nerds
Man goes to aquarium and is like “wtf are all these fish doing here?!”
This seems like pretty obvious satire. It's kinda like a love letter to the community commending them for their dedication and niche hobbiest interests without actually being sappy. Just a bunch of "you guys are so cool for X" without seeming like a suck up.
I don’t doubt it, I still think it’s a goofy post regardless
Unix grognards running every service uncontainerized on one server keep winning.
This used to be me but I've become a container demon
containers get bad rep because docker and all the mess it causes, but every process, or at least most, in the system should use containers in one way or another. it's a shame this is nowhere close to normalized and doing it is messy
Legit who has the free time for anything else? Admittedly, I hate IoT stuff, so I don't have to run my entire house from my phone/computer, but when I need something for personal projects it's the most minimal garbage setup imaginable. Been working so far so I don't touch it.
Raid is for cowards. I have a singular 12tb used hard drive for everything. It literally can't break
Mines been telling me failure imminent spin retry count too high for years now and do i believe it? No! Get back to work!
No RAID! Only backups!
RAID fucks up often enough and adds enough complexity that I’m honestly considering this approach. Maybe I’m just going crazy.
WD external from 2008, its always made that noise thats just how things were made
I'm just a half step away from a caveman but I appreciated the line "your electric meter is spinning so fast it could probably create it's own electricity."
running Pi-hole with Unbound is superior to forwarding to Cloudflare.
NO FUCK YOU, IT IS.
I love my pihole and unbound its also super easy to configure and has excellent documentation
it absolutely is. And using fucking icloud? jesus christ
That sub has useful information, but it has so many gearheads buying $500 routers and building $5k server racks that sound like jet engines for backing up their photos and watching a few hours of TV every day.
I really appreciate the repetition of the central thesis ("you are all a bunch of sick freaks"). That's solid writing.
I will never stop self hosting. I have converted some of my friends to self hosting their own stuff. We have automated encrypted offsite backups of eachothers critical/cherished data.
I will continue to spread this and no one can stop me.
You will learn docker (from compose files, including minimum shared networking), you will learn the *arr stack, you will use Audiobookshelf, you will learn about and deploy a reverse proxy, rclone usage is not optional, and I'll eventually turn you into a hobbyist programmer.
I just pray their children can stand on my shoulders and convert it all to kubernetes some day because I refuse to learn enough to make arguably employable as a Jr. devops engineer.

That is sooo cool.
picturing a couple having dinner
"check it out sweetie, i made a plex server for all our dvds! :)"
"YOU ARE SICK! you need help!"
Just @ me next time
Literally scheduling time this weekend to convert my docker compose setup to k3s
I will never relinquish docker compose!
I’ve literally been toying with the idea of implementing Raft on a Commodore 64 so I can have a clustered thingummy to manage the state of an led light to indicate build status
I need an intervention
you are literally the person they made up in the OP omfg
anyway, here's your intervention:
do it, it'll be super cool :)
yeah honestly, all power to the home-self-hosters but I'm so burnt out I'm not dealing with any more of that shit unless I'm paid. Last thing I want to do after spending my whole week trying to unfuck the heap of infrastructure you end up with after 15 years of "move fast and break things" is pour over my own kernel logs so I can figure out why I can't watch TV today
Haha one of the few times a super text meme is actually a worthwhile read. Self hosting really is a weird sort of drug spiral…
This is just an average redditor stroking off other redditors. I don't want this in my life anymore.
I actually work with....
Yeah after dealing with my annoying corporate job I also don't want to deal with computers, but it's not a reason to complain that people have found durable elegant solutions to running their own services on their free time.
This just smacks of jealousy. Someone has to write the yaml, if it's not you it's gonna be the people you're paying $X/mo to also steal your data/call the cops on you after they find IP finger prints/etc.
it was a good post, and we can't have that, so the subreddit's mods had to remove it smh
I live this thread, I'm a gamedev and it makes me feel normal for once
Fuck that guy, those are the types of tech bros we need

You have backups on magnetic tape? Please educate me about magnetic tape for backups
I don't those tape machines cost like 2k. The tapes themselves are cheap but it was a joke. Well other than I've suspiciously looked up tape backups and their costs....
Was my experience, too, looked up cost of tape drive, can't afford that. Not 2k, I have seen new ones for 1k, used ones for like 200, but I can't afford any of that. Perhaps some day, I will get lucky and find a very cheap one with decent capacities. It would be awesome to have backups on magnetic tape...
What do you use for backups?
Yeah but I don't want Google to have all my cat photos 
They already have it anyway
Oh no I just installed proxmox and some stuff on an old laptop last sunday. Is this my future?
Yes.
Welcome to the group.
tagline pls
Just using Jellyfin + 2 sata HDDs + an always on computer, for my selfhost
that's how we all begun i fear
You can pry my YAML from my cold dead hands
No please take yaml away, it sucks ass
Lmao
My media server is containerized
This is a very funny bit
