      It’s also super fun and can be very helpful in some conditions.

      On the other hand, the deeper you dive, the more at risk is your wallet, some day I will for sure have a server room somewhere.

        Back in the day, we used to have “post2host” forums, where you could get VPS servers for free just by being active in the forum. That’s where I cut my teeth on Linux!

        Without that, 10 years ago, I would not have my career today. I am thankful.

          That sounds awesome! For me personally, when we were still in highschool, I got a VPS on netcup with two friends together. That was about 2 years ago. We’re phasing it out and all of us now have our own infrastructure.

          Once it is no longer available, we plan to build a nextcloud federation.

          The most important thing is to just start!
