  • What is this? Lol. I’m a Millennial and I had access to the internet most of my life. I used it to look up stuff on there when I was lost.

    If you want to make fun of Zoomers you don’t have to make stuff up. Let’s try some now:

    Despite being obsessed with the gym, Zoomers have higher obesity rates, lower overall health and poorer diets.

    Despite being connected more than any other generation they have the highest rate of loneliness and a fraction of the friends other generations had.

    Despite growing up with more technology more accessible than ever before they have a lower computer literacy rate than boomers.



  • I’ve done the on prem design. I’ve migrated people entirely to the cloud. I specialize a little in between.

    Without any shred of doubt the cloud is going to be more cost effective than self hosting for 99% of all use cases. They’re priced that way intentionally. You cannot compete with Cloudflare/AWS/GCP/Vultr/Akami/Digital Ocean/etc.

    My homelab isn’t about scaling, production workloads and definitely isn’t accessible to anyone but me. I’d argue using it in any other way defeats the purpose and shows a lack of understanding.




  • There are three critical parts to an apology. You have to feel regret/remorse, accept guilt and make an effort to correct it/make sure it never happens again.

    If all three aren’t present every time then someone isn’t sorry. If they say sorry and don’t make it right or make reasonable actions to ensure it doesn’t happen again then they are a liar and poor company to keep.


  • That’s not the point. Its unprofessional. Someone is going to smash and grab OPs idea and actually have the skills to host it properly. Probably at a fraction of the cost because OP doesn’t understand that hosting SaaS products out of his house isn’t professional or effective.

    Also; cloud is cheaper than self hosting at any small amount of scale. This wouldn’t cost much to run in AWS if built properly. The people who struggle with AWS costs are not professionals and have no business hosting anything.


  • SLAs?

    You’re going to need a redundant ISP and a generator. You’ve left the territory where it’s economical to self host something if that’s what you’re looking at. You still have several other single points of failure.

    And I’ll be honest, your setup isn’t ready for an SLA either. Just having a second machine is such a small part of what you need to do before doing any guarantees. Are you using a Dynamic DNS service? What’s the networking setup look like? Router to Compute?

    From the sounds of it, you’re not a professional. It might be time to engage an expert if you want to grow this.
