Self-hosted email is the one thing I refuse to take on — deliverability is a minefield.

My little home lab started as a Pi and is now a full rack shelf — send help.

Caddy won me over with automatic HTTPS; nginx when I need fine control.

WireGuard took ten minutes to set up and replaced every port-forward I had.

The VLAN isolation tip is underrated.

Gigabit spoiled me — I can never go back.

Unraid for mixed workloads, TrueNAS if storage is the priority.

Caddy’s config reads like a postcard compared to nginx.

I disagree slightly, but I can see where you are coming from.

I monitor with just uptime-kuma and it covers 90% of my needs.

Interesting — I will have to try that.

Could not agree more.

That has been my experience as well.
