I just think as someone new (like the OP), setting up vanilla pihole is a little easier.

I currently use Syncthing and it works with the exception of syncing to my iPad (and I imagine iPhone but I have an Android)... need to figure out something else for that. I did see someone somewhere mention CouchDB combined with https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync so I might try that and see if it works.

Not all I self-host but pihole, plex, & homeassistant are certainly my most used.

  1. Use Linux
  2. It's probably not a static-ip and I wouldn't rely on it as such. I'd use http://www.duckdns.org/ to handle the dynamic IP issue (or something else, https://freedns.afraid.org/ would be another option)
  3. I'd look to pihole to start with for DNS. It blocks ads and you can add manual DNS entries. If you need something more complex, you can always migrate to something like unbound but pihole is a good, easy start.
  4. Setup https://letsencrypt.org/ You didn't mention HTTPS/SSL, but you should really set it up. let's encrypt makes it easy and free

It seems that as of right now at least, signups are still open.

I've done some elixir so pattern matching and functional programming was pretty familiar but yeah, borrowing took me actually reading about it rather than going "I can just figure this out" before I was like "Oh, that makes sense."

And yeah, I remember the first time I encountered the ? operator in some example code I was like WTF?!??! How do I search for THAT?

If that's the case it'll be the first nintendo platform I don't buy since the original NES. I still buy physical cartridges and if that's no longer an option I guess I'm just a retro gamer playing emulated systems.

Matches my experience with rust as well. Once I got used to some of the concepts and syntax, everything started to just fall into place.

So now it's just NJ?

[–] flynnguy 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but now a lot of people I convinced to use it, no longer use it because they just want to use one app.

Currently? No, because I quit reddit.

But when I was on reddit, I used Relay For Reddit Pro.

Yeah, the mesh features is really nice.
