Self-hoster reporting in.

I got into it about a year ago. Bought a refurbished old Dell mini PC for 300 bucks and turned it into a home server. Debian + several docker containers.

I don't know if this is the future, but it feels disruptive. I think it is amazing that I can run my private home streaming service alongside a bunch of other cool things on old hardware and the experience is in many ways superior to actual services that I am charged to use.
