Reclaiming the lost art of Linux server administration

Am at the same point. Have been thinking about a variety of options 1. bidirectional pacts with self-hosting friend 2. creating a network and culture of self hosting techies that develop the skills to assist (money and documentation required here but more resilient than no 1) 3. investing in your kids.

Technically option 3 should be the best since it also engineers around generations (options 1 and 2 would roughly be locked to a narrower age group). But it also can be a double edge sword, what if they don’t like tech? Or if you overdo it with trying to make them interested in tech and self hosting and it backfires?

So yeah, no real solution yet. But I’d subscribe to that newsletter if there was one

1 and 2 are interesting but I have some doubts about the feasibility in my region. It is already quite hard to find people interested in automation with Home Assistant, so having someone who would be willing to understand the setup and scripts of someone else would be really tricky.

3 could have been a solution but my kids are not interested in development (if they would, it would have been my first solution)
