  • There’s an abundance of community resources on Raspberry pi so that helps.

    For example: https://www.tomshardware.com/raspberry-pi

    On every platform there’s a community that is eager to help you with any questions you have.

    It’s not hard but be prepared to start over when your setup isn’t turning out how you want it. And that’s ok. When you break it, you just reinstall your stuff and start over. Wat helped me a lot is organising my resources by bookmarking them.

    Networking is something that is overlooked in most tutorials. http://192.168.0.1/ (or some other iterations) will be something you need know by heart :-)

    After a while you’ll be running all kind of servers, virtual machines, apps,… I still remember the kick I got from logging into my first selfhosted service. It’s magical.

    You’ll see your setup grow after a while but don’t spend too much before you really know what you want to do. I bought a second hand mini pc with decent specs for 100 euros after 6 months and my playroom has extended tremendously.

    You’ll get tempted to buy a NAS and that’s a rabbit hole on its own. But again. Take your time.

    Good luck!


  • Mass transit is necessary here because the city has an old layout not designed for cars and so it wouldn’t be able to function if everyone had to drive.

    Cities shouldn’t be designed for cars. They should be designed for people. I get it. They’ve added a tax and that’s inconvenient. I agree.

    I live in a European city with a medieval layout. I’m happy they started banning cars. Our city is more liveable without than with cars.
