  • This is how it worked for me. Followed by just fucking get up. Tired? Slept like shit? Don’t want to go? Just fucking get up and go, I don’t want to be late or lose my job, I’ll be homeless. I don’t recommend this attitude as you’ll burn yourself out but it’s how I get up.

    My problem is everything else. Where do you find time to tidy the house, clean, do laundry, shower, brush your teeth, now the lawn, etc, etc and then have energy for hobbies?





  • Canadian IT worker.

    I refuse to drink at work parties. Everyone else does and I get some peer pressure to drink but I don’t care. Its normal to see people get super drunk and embarrass themselves which is why I don’t even start.

    Specifically at lunch, if I’m not driving and others are having a beer I will but only one. If I’m driving, it depends on how I’m feeling.

    Working from home I’ve been known to have a beer or two on a Friday afternoon by my self.

    When I left my last job we had a meeting at the end of the day with the guys I got along with and anyone they wanted to invite. There was about 15 people from different departments with their cameras on having a drink or smoking (pot) if they didn’t drink as a goodbye. Was a nice goodbye. Lol







  • I’ve had no problems with the normal nextcloud apache container for the last couple years. I lock to a major version and let it update itself on the minors until I feel like like changing the yaml to the next major. I’ve gone from 24 to 30 this way without issue.

    Actually, I do have to install the contacts and calendar apps from time to time but that’s only when I want to use the webUI for them, caldav/carddav has always worked.




  • Thinking more about it, If you just want to host and not mess around like I do, I would use your current computer, install Docker on it and see how you like it. Host a example website see if you can get it to work, Try a Minecraft server and see if it works… If that’s not for you then you can try VMs with an entire OS. This will be a lot more overhead but it will also work.

    After you know what you like (Docker containers or an entire VM), I’d design what you want to do. Are you going to have a lot of people on your Jellyfin and Minecraft servers? how much RAM, CPU, Storage do they use?

    Once you have that information, Look at prices, Do you want one big PC and will it do everything you want? If you need to buy several, maybe it’s better to get a bunch of small ones?

    If it’s one big PC then you’re done. Get it, install Docker/VM and go.

    If you want to play around or you need to get many PCs, do you want to cluster them so Minecraft server can move to a different PC if that PC fails? then do Swarm or K3s if you’re okay with docker.

    If you need to do small PCs, maybe you install Docker normally on each and manage them separately.

    In the end it’s totally up to you what you do. I use K8s :)
