(00:00) Welcome and Feedback (00:24) Re-evaluating Self-Hosting (01:30) Gifting Linux Devices (03:14) Setting Up for Success (05:01) Managing Remote Devices (10:29) Remote Access with WireGuard. Securely accessing local resources remotely. (13:01) Introducing Jellyfin (14:15) Managing Disk Space df -h to confirm disk usage docker system prune -a to remove older images, stopped, hanging. Recovered 50gb. (16:00) The Raspberry Pi Evolution Does the Pi family make sense in 2025? If you already own one, use that. If you don’t, the draw to modern thin clients and PC’s is more desirable in cost & size vs performance. (19:39) NextcloudPi project. Years of testing across various devices. Adopting containers in order to spin up simultaneous production and test instances of the same software. Less interest in specific devices and more interest in running whatever service I need on arm64 or x86 architecture. I’m behind the times in terms of modern automations when testing, but this is how I’ve learned. (21:01) Testing and Flexibility At what point does the Pi simply become another server? I feel we’ve already reached this point with the Pi 5. (24:50) Repurposing Old Hardware Having older iterations of hardware is great. Pi 2 has full sized USB and basic ethernet, so is fine assuming it is still supported by a project. Personally self-hosting on Pi devices to help me with audio editing since my laptop is not powerful enough on it’s own. (26:30) What modern laptop would you recommend I purchase? Haven’t purchased a high end model in over 10 years, so ready to upgrade. Would like to edit video and run LLM. (30:12) Seeking Audience Input on devices they use. (31:00) What devices are you hosting on? If you use a Pi 5, why? Do you regret it vs an alternative? Does a Pi 5 with NVME disk make more sense than an x86 computer? (32:00) Audience question on wanting to know more about the host. Masonry, theatre gigs, open source volunteer with hackerspaces, piracy in academia, all about the Host (44:00) Apprentice to the Wild book by Kurt Hoelting (45:30) btm terminal application recommendation.
