Over the last 2 months we have systemically dismantled and sold most of our life.
If feels FANTASTIC.
The lack of stuff is so liberating. The simplicity of server setups is a pure joy after doing the podcast for 6 years I just kept adding more and more.
But now I am down to one big file server with 150TB and a SFF Lenovo system as the core services app node. That's it!
It is so wonderfully simple to maintain. No complicated clustering. No big energy bill. So this is me admitting, perhaps, that I am guilty of overbuilding solutions in the past. In the next phase of life I am determined not to repeat these "mistakes". #selfhosting
