I don't work in IT/Tech at all, but I've been an enthusiast since I was young, at first piggybacking off of my dad, then developing my own interests as I got into high school and college. I started self-hosting because I found it interesting and as time progressed I saw the benefits of operating things locally. I only host things within my own network though, because I'm not yet comfortable with how to safely set up external access.

When our best friends were getting married and we met at the rehearsal dinner. Her best friend had been trying to get us to meet for years (our work schedules and lives in general always kept us from meeting). Within two months we were dating and have been together ever since.

I'm assuming you're talking about the YouTuber; It's been since before the pandemic that I've watched AvE, what did he do?

For me it was during the development of Diablo 3 when Blizzard acted like a bunch of children over community comments/concerns about the art style/direction of the game. I don't feel like I've missed out on much, honestly.

Perhaps not as full featured as the others, but I host wiki.js for my knowledge base on my local server.

Totally agree on that one, honeydew is so much better

I'm not a fan of the skin on starfruit, but the taste is fantastic. OTOH, if even half of what I've heard about durian is correct, that's quite the bold statement to make there

They are also accused of knowingly having asbestos in their baby powder. As to the baby formula, I know Nestle had a major scandal with that stuff, but I didn't know about J&J doing similar.

 

This should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to Google, but it's a reminder to get off of their services if you're concerned about your data privacy. A Slashdot commenter wondered whether this also applies to the contents of emails on gmail. I'm going to assume it does.
