I'm having the same issue, although it seems to be intermittent/recovering. Some packages I saw 404s on seem to be coming back.

While I never had this, there are a series of games that my brother and I, (and later my school) used to learn similar concepts! https://colobot.info/
Re:Ask HN: How can a total beginner start with self-hosting?

Plex is a great product if you want to host your own photos, music, and media such as movies and tv shows. If you aren't a fan of Plex you can try jellyfin.
As others have mentioned, proxmox, Unraid, and/or TrueNAS are great if you have unused/extra hardware sitting around. Personally I have a box for Proxmox VM's, and an Unraid server for storage and several docker containers i use regularly. I'm still very cloud dependant for the convenience factor, but this should help give you some direction.
There are also communities on reddit like /r/selfhosted and /r/DataHoarder/ that you might want to check out.
Re:Ask HN: Have You Left Kubernetes?

I am not sure so much that Kubernetes itself is an issue, as far as the technology. I'm personally a fan of serverless/lambda style functions, but my understanding is that many of those can run on Kubernetes under the hood.
Same goes for heroku/digital ocean app services. Even elastic beanstalk. If you are large enough that you need to manage your own k8s cluster, that is one thing, but I would encourage you to look at your needs from a usage and compute perspective long before you start solutionizing with trendy technologies.

I recently wrote a tool that allows me to copy AWS secrets to another aws account for testing. It ended up being far simpler than doing a copy-paste for doing it repeatedly. I plan to write a few more in the appropriately named repo.

I have experimented with it. I plan to start using it going forward, as most of our users have support for it in their browser.
