People are fed up with subscriptions and things like minipcs and docker have made this all very accessible

(Are you havoc from the JB community?)

I agree! I just don’t know if this would pass the wife test. All of our music and photos and videos tc etc being hosted by me where I could potentially lose everything.

All the work needed to properly store enough backups and test upgrades and maintain things I just figure the tens of dollars I spend monthly to host this stuff for me in iCloud and other places is worth it.

  • Nope - not familiar with JB community so must be someone else. Just got lucky on hn grabbing a nice nickname early.

    Re wife test - yeah music selfhost is a risky one. People get really grumpy when they can't get their tunes

    • Ahh check out JupiterBroadcasting’s flagship shows: CoderRadio, LinuxUnplugged and Self Hosted. Really cool community to folks.

      Totally get you with the wife approval factor. More for me it’s I think I might screw something up and nuke the whole thing. I do light admin work for my day job as a data engineer — to have to do it at an even higher intensity for the family is too much stress.
