"Hey honey, I turned our old computer into a server so I could set up a #fediverse instance for our child and her friends."

"Hey all, today I am showing you #NextCloud as an alternative to #Dropbox and #GoogleDrive."

"Get ready with me! Today I am showing you how I check in with my friends with off-grid mesh radio first thing in the morning."

How awesome would this be? I mean, finally a trend where people LEARN SOMETHING and are more empowered as a result.

(Forever grateful to my Fedi friends for all the inspiration and encouragement in trying new tools) ❤️​

Just don't forget that this stuff IS complicated, but that there is a lot of fun to be had in solving the problems. Especially if you get to share the results and gains of the solutions. Keep it up, don't give up. You've got this!

I've asked my 5-year-old to teach me how to sew because she learned in pre-school and she's really talented at that. She's very proud that she can excel at something mom and dad can't do 😅​

I just need to personally apologize if you never heard of trad wives and you found out about this trend via my toot. Sorry Suzanne. It's a thing.

Please do not look it up if you weren't aware of it, just carry along, you'll be much happier

For now I try to stay away from YunoHost's app catalog because it is just sooo tempting

I haven't tried installing Bonfire via YunoHost (I need to see if it's available) but for Ghost I would recommend a manual installation via Ghost CLI. I have done it last year and it's still possible for a while (Ghosy v7 will move to Docker only).

If you ever need any help/guidance, feel free to get in touch. I'm still a newbie but I've done my fair share of self-hosting experiments

Instead of arguing about which restaurant to eat at we argue about opening firewall ports, do we put the one device on the same guest network as the in-laws or its own (more out of fear of what the in-laws bring), who gets to upgrade their machine(s), why she gets a fancier web cam, what am I *really* storing on the NAS, etc.

Of course, the nerdly hobbies is where it gets fun :D
