Selfhosting is the act of hosting applications on “hardware you control”. That could be rented or owned, its the same to us. You could go out and buy a server to host your applications but there a few issues that you might run into that could prevent you from simply standing up a server rack in your spare room. From shitty ISPs to lack of hardware knowledge there are plenty of reasons to just rent a VPS. Either way youre one of us :)
The extra time in the gym is probably due to some extended release caffeine that some blends include. But you’re 100% right about the level of caffeine included. It can really fuck up your day if you don’t understand your tolerance and cycling is something I highly recommend to anyone who uses pre workout. Makes coming back like Christmas even if the first week is a bit rough
I’m no exercise scientist so I can’t explicitly recommend this to you personally but this is what I use. Basically caffeine with some other chemicals that help you have a productive workout. It’s not something you use every time you go to the gym but it helps you push that little bit extra when under load.
Pre workout meals are equally important and I recommend watching some of Jeff Nippards YouTube videos to learn more about what makes a good pre workout meal. Eating in general is important surrounding the gym but again I’m no expert so I’ll leave it to them to speak on the specifics.
Do your own research before making a purchase
I really enjoy it when I have something I’m aiming for. The accomplishment of hitting a new PR (1 rep max of otherwise) gives me a major dopamine hit. It’s going to be different for everyone though, I dispise cardio even though I do it for example. I usually have to trick myself to enjoy it like turning on a TV show or podcast or audiobook I’m really interested in. Recently the Pre-work out Ive been using has had a major positive impact in my mood as well. Not just because of the addition energy but I almost feel euphoric during my whole session.
Honestly I just typed Lemmy into Namecheap and saw what TLDs were available
What sort of backend setup are you running?
Shucking is the way
Intel NUCs are a great mini PC option (while a little expensive)
Which nextcloud image do you use? I’ve been having issues with the linuxserver being kinda buggy at times (not loading file previews or not being able to close a preview without editing the URL) the app has performed pretty well but the web ui hasnt been great
One moment while I install 256 GB of ram
Also the assurance that your home instance won’t be suddenly federated from one of the major ones
You control the hardware you are provisioned and the software you run on it, which is enough for me. Unless you’re looking for a job in the server adminstration/maintenance field the physical hardware access component of it matters less IMO
