I got started self-hosting using a small Lenovo Thinkcentre and an HP EliteDesk. Both are available to purchase for around 100 dollars on ebay. I have installed Proxmox on both of them. Proxmox is an operating system built on Debian Linux and is used to host containers and virtual machines. It has a great WebGUI to access the server.

Using Proxmox I have set up a Pelican container for game servers hosting, I run my own personal wiki, I have PiHole, Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf and a lot more.

To access your things out of home you can use a VPN to connect to your own network or open ports in your router. I only had to open port 80 and 443 to expose my reverse proxy to the internet and then I use the reverse proxy to route the traffic internally to the correct port and project. I also purchases a domain name and now I can use jellyfin.mydomain.com or wiki.mydomain.com or whatever.mydomain.com to access each project I self-host. It’s very convenient!

Trying new projects is super easy and if you want to remove something then just delete the container. No old leftovers will stay on the host system. There are also community scripts available to make hosting even easier. It will install and configure the containers for you.

This is great! Thank you for sharing

They also mention it on the wiki page but I could see fractals and different patterns when I closed my eyes while on shrooms.

I really liked the Custom Maps in Warcraft 3 online play. I used to play Hero Line Wars, Mauls and TDs, Dota, Legion TD among other amazing community made maps

It depends on the project/container. Some containers run Debian, some Alpine, some Ubuntu. I mostly rely on the community scripts from here and use the defaults.

I guess everything that supports containers, QEMU and KVM is compatible to use as a guest OS in Proxmox.

Yes, as I said it’s a debian base. But Proxmox is built for servers and using it to host and share containers or virtual machines is super simple. Especially with the community helper scripts that can set up different self-hosting projects within minutes with minimal tinkering.

Personally I would recommend Proxmox. It’s a debian based distro for hosting containers and virtual machines

Do you have a torrent client installed? Do you know how to download using a torrent client? If you don’t have one yet then I can recommend qBitTorrent. It’s a well developed torrent client.

I can recommend watching some YouTube video on how torrenting works. It’s fairly straight forward. You basically download a small .torrent file (or use a magnet:url.

A magnet is the same as a torrent but there is nothing to download first. Just add the magnet address to your torrent client.

In the torrent client you then get a window that asks you where to place the downloaded file and also a few other tweaks you can do. Usually you only need to press OK and the download starts.

The hard part in sailing the high seas is finding good websites with the content you are looking for. Every torrent also needs another person to upload the file. If you have no one to download from then you will not get your file.

It is common courtesy to keep the torrent client running even after reaching 100%. This will help others download the file from you. This is the core feature of torrents. Everyone that downloads also helps with sharing the file. That’s how we keep spreading the data. As long as there is 1 person uploading, then the torrent will be alive.

Please note, a torrent can have 0 people sharing (Seeders) for the moment but might become active several hours later once another person turn on their computer and start sharing the file again.

I hope I didn’t ramble too much and you got something out of it. Best of luck!

There is always something to critique, huh? I think it’s positive that he has changed his stance regarding LGBTQ+ and even made a children’s song spreading the message that love is love. We need more inclusion, acceptance and tolerance in this society.

If Snoop is smart enough to spread a positive message and earn money at the same time, then good for him. At least he is trying to spread positivity to the world.

The last time must have been when Valheim released. That shit got me hooked. Now I am waiting for the Deep North biome to finish development before I play it again.

Now that I think about it the last time was when Schedule 1 released.

I always take a screenshot because I am lazy but just copying the text, like you say, is better
