RE: mastodon.social/@_elena/115723…

Love this. Gonna try to make 2026 the year of putting out #homelab tutorials and walkthroughs.

Been trying to write one for the past six months tbh, ever since I got my Mastodon instance running again. Life’s been getting in the way, but this is important (to me, at least) so I want to make it a priority.


My way of rebelling against techbros and autocrats:

December 2024: quit all Big Tech platforms and start #selfhosting essential services

December 2025: write guides for newbies about how to self-host

I'm also in discussion with a blogger I admire to start a podcast about tech... where we'll focus on solutions (instead of problems)... aiming to inspire others to join in...

It's been a really heavy year but these little acts of rebellion give me hope ✨

@_elena I will!!! I actually wrote something of a guide almost three years ago, but 1) it’s obviously woefully out of date, and 2) it was mostly an exercise in teaching myself kubernetes, so I had no idea what I was doing 😅 magsol.github.io/posts/2023-01…

I mean, I’ve still NO CLUE what I’m doing, but I will admit I’ve learned a few new tricks in the intervening years, so I wanted to do a complete rewrite. Live and learn!

But yes, I’ll definitely ping when I’ve finished it! 😄
