+1 for Minetest both client and server too; we run one locally for the kiddos :)

I’m currently wearing a continuous glucose monitor. Does that count? I’m all for anything voluntary especially if it improves quality of life without impeding on others.

Yep, this is what I’ve started doing and actually works better for my work flow as I use Wireguard for work related tasks as well.

Cool concept! And congrats on getting it up and running :)

Thanks; quite a few have recommended this one which is nice to see

Fantastic; thank you :)

Very cool design; how well do they stay put on the desk? My last split keyboard would nudge slowly during use and had to be moved back which I found annoying.

The Advantage 2 looks pretty good; bit pricey though I expected as much. Thank you!

Yeah, bigger solutions like Azure, AWS, etc. have some cool features especially for scaling but… that comes with its own headaches.

For earlier stages I personally much prefer a simple VPS where I can freely do what I want with it including total wipes, snapshots / rollbacks, etc.

If you’re comfortable working on a local VM then perhaps a VPS such as Linode or Digital Ocean would be a good place to start; they’re essentially VMs hosted in cloud you have total control of so you can install whatever you want just like a local VM. Even the cheapest VPS option is plenty for this sort of testing.

These have free trials too such as: https://www.linode.com/tux

To be fair I certainly didn’t start with that many; I started with the keto diet roughly 10 years ago, found eggs to be my most convenient breakfast food and slowly built up the number while reducing the size of my lunch.

6 scrambled eggs made with butter, sour cream, salt and pepper.

I prefer to start the day with a big breakfast, eat a light lunch and then nothing until a moderate supper with a small, low carb dessert in the evening.

I find the large breakfast starts my day well and fatty foods keep me satisfied longer so I’m not tempted to snack throughout the day, especially while working from home where food is always available.

Welcome!

Nice!

I had to do similar with mine but threw together some scrap lumber to build up around our printer:

We’ve had an LTE modem for a long while which is quite expensive but no data cap. Just recently added T-mobile’s 5G Lite modem which while much faster does have a cap. So added a pfSense firewall and setup a failover WAN rule to give the work computer 5G during business hours.

I’m self-hosting Tiny Tiny RSS mostly for podcasts and previously also some Reddit subs I was particularly interested in. TTRSS works well for me in that it’s OS independent and has phone app for easy listening on the go.

Mostly Pandora for music discovery with some occasional Spotify mixed in

yt-dlp to download a few favorites to listen to in car via phone

Oohhh, yes, those are quite nice 🐝

+1 for DDG

And thank you for reminding about bangs

Local

I’m sorting by New and watching what comes through to see what I want to ensure I’m subscribed to as well as what to block. I’ll likely stay on local most of the time.

I find All to be jarring when several posts load from other instances and only switch to it when exploring other community options.

My longest running self-host is the RSS reader Tiny Tiny RSS running on a Digital Ocean droplet with Ubuntu 22.04
