What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I finally finished my first iteration of my Minilab including a very smooth migration from the old server yesterday so I can go to the service side of things again. I plan to get some kind of selfhosters VPN for external access to stuff that's not exposed to the internet, I'll have to investigate which one.

NOTE: The instructions aren’t exactly difficult! So, I don’t see how I’d have gotten it wrong!

Dude, don't feel pregnant. It took me an embarrassingly long time to wrap my noodle around Caddy. Seriously, I just couldn't grasp what was going on in the Caddyfile. Then, after extensive trial and error, I happened upon one tutorial that changed everything. Now it's so simple for me, but at the time, I felt like a complete dumbfuck.

It's always crazy how that happens sometimes and after weeks of banging your head, everything just 'clicks' when you're exposed to the information in the way that works best for you!

Dude, don't feel pregnant.

Context clues, I assumed this autocorrect was some variation of crazy/bad/dumb? :-D

was some variation of crazy/bad/dumb?

No, no, no. I wouldn't call you crazy or dumb. It was meant as 'don't feel singled out' or 'don't feel like you're the only one'.

Sorry, I didn't mean to insinuate you were being insulting!

"Don't feel crazy/bad/dumb, I've had the same thing happen to me!" is a pretty common phrasing in my region to show sympathy and understanding and I thought that's what you had meant (and it sounds like for your area, 'pregnant' serves the same general purpose!).

“Don’t feel crazy/bad/dumb, I’ve had the same thing happen to me!”

There you go. As far as 'my area' I didn't grow up in the US or any particular area. I grew up around the world and multiculturaly, so there is no telling where I picked that up at. LOL
