I was just recently watching some video essay on youtube, but the narrator was sooo slow I had to speed it up 1.5× just to be able to concentrate an what he qas saying, and also to not waste my time listening to prolonged words and silence. Sometimes people just unecesseraly stretch the content.

I wake up whenever I feel like it, it just so happens to be around 5-6 AM, no matter what day or time of year. But I might be biologically reprogrammed from waking up every day early to catch the bus to school when I was younger or a construction site later.

Now I work from home and wake up every day automatically 10-30 minutes before alarms go off. In the summer its nice, I get to see the sunrise but in the winter its dark. Daylight saving time does not help either.

The main difference is that having a home server means You are in complete control over Your data. You can run home server and isolate it from the internet, running only on local network. Great for privacy and You are not relying on some external provider being reliable and available.

It also has it's downsides. You have to maintain the server, keeping it up-to-date. Checking if some components need upgrading or replacing - which is mainly about having healthy drives so You do not loose all Your data.

Started my own home server about a year or so ago. Currently hosting Immich for me and my gf. Jellyfin for archiving movies shows and downloaded YT videos. Forgejo for local git where I backup my work. Homeassistant to manage lights in the appartment and some other small stuff. Linkwarden to archive important websites and links I might need in the future (docs for work, how-tos for the server itself so I dont loose all that setup kbowledge). Syncthing to sync files between multiple devices - which is awesome, easy to setup and pair folders. Seafile to share files.

It has been great, it draws around 20-30W idle.

I am currently in search for Obsidian and Bitwarden self hosted alternative that can be run in docker container - if anyone has some ideas I am all ears.
