We have a bunch of providers on here that clearly have raw technical competence

Curious how that technical ability plays out in your home?

If you're not attached to the tough aspect I'd think a framework might be a good fit.

They seem to cater to people of this mindset quite well:

Paid 8k per sqm for my place. Brutal but it goes both ways - the fancy jobs that pay well require you to be in the center of a big metro. So kinda goes hand in hand

IPv4 is usually my crutch on this. No idea what market price actually is, but an IP costs $1 in my mind, so a $14/year is $2 to provide a years of compute/storage and thus looks shaky to me. Probably…

It's definitely due for an inflation update. I reckon $10 is the new $7

Working on replacing selfhosted gitlab with forgejo.

Going pretty well. Easier to deploy. A lot leaner. CI runners seem to work.

Ordered a baby rack for home. Don't need a full depth one so opted from something closer to a network rack as it should still fit a ATX build on a test bench
