If I told you you can go download any of the og AIM clients, change one or two settings, and be able to talk to anyone else who does the same, would you be down? asking for myself.

But we learn things along the way!!
Self-hosting is just an elaborate way of saying “I like solving problems I created for myself” #selfhosted #opensource #oss

Absolutely stoked about this cool combo of 3D printing and self-hosting/homelab'ing.
This mini rack project is so cool. If I was starting a homelab today I would 100% go this route. Not to say my route (or anyone else's route) is bad, but this is awesome having so many amazing options for a compact and low-powered #homelab.
