    I always redo it lol, which is kind of a waste but I enjoy it.

    Maybe a related question is what I wish I could do if I had the time (which I will do eventually. Some I plan to do very soon):

    • self host wireguard instead of using tailscale
    • self host a ACME-like setup for self signed certificates for TLS and HTTPS
    • self host encrypted git server for private stuff
    • setup a file watcher on clients to sync my notes on-save automatically using rsync (yes I know I can use syncthing. Don’t wanna!)

        I don’t think there’s any significant downsides. I suppose you are dependent on their infrastructure and uptime. If they ever go down, or for any reason stop offering their services, then you’re out of luck. But yeah that’s not significant.

        The reason I want to do this is it gives me more control over the setup in case I ever wanted to customize it or the wireguard config, and also teaches me more in general, which will enable me to better debug.

    Go with used & refurb business PCs right out of the gate instead of fucking around with SBCs like the Pi.

    Go with “1-liter” aka Ultra Small Form Factor right away instead of starting with SFF. (I don’t have a permanent residence at the moment so this makes sense for me)

      Ah, but now you have a stack of PiS to screw around with, separate from all the stuff you actually use.
