Accepting invitations for Polycule Infrastructure Engineer! (No seriously self-hosting is rough for a lot of things but pooling resources to host small instances for 5-10 people mitigates the awkwardness a lot by just sharing resources and giving the time needed) #QT https://mastodon.hupel.info/@lars/117392510915077275

    @jacel@m.prettyshiny.org We infrastructure engineers and homelab enthusiasts do not get the recognition relative to our work :T

  • @jacel@m.prettyshiny.org Somedaaayyy when I can sit down and finish physically building my Family & Friends Server and get it minimally set up, I intend to recruit friends from my circle to help me manage it. I'd *like* to run a smol private cloud for my circle of friends and especially my family, but it's an extremely daunting prospect to manage all on my own.

  • @jacel@m.prettyshiny.org I actively encourage people to self host, yes. And I do so with infrastructure where I can invite them over to experience it themselves, with no requirement on their side. it's there, it's happy, it might crash from time to time, but I'm happy to keep my friends and loved ones happy with so little maintenance work. Keep the old magicks alive. The siphon of intelligence will make such skills so much more valuable.
