so uh … I’ve been sorta contemplating preinastalled hardware. Think a mini pc you plug into your router. Or even a minipc that replaces your router and has a clean UI for picking a handful of curated self-hosted stuff you want.

You could buy the hardware as a simple jumping off point to learn more or (and here is where I am not sure if there’s a market) you could pay me (or other sysadmins like me) to support it.

What if self-hosted stuff worked a bit like your HVAC,. electrical or plumbing?
