Linode has some cool “turnkey” solutions for this. One example: https://www.linode.com/marketplace/apps/nextcloud/nextcloud/

So instead of doing a reverse proxy or vpn on self hosted hardware you would be renting linode servers that are already connected. Then you just have to follow the instructions to hook up a domain or add the relevant dns records.

Either way is fine it just depends on what you’re comfortable with and what you have on hand/want to buy.

I’ll admit, you had me in the first half

I can hear this pic. “Who steals a cheese grater???”

Soooo…never?

Reading this, and remembering the context of the source material, my thoughts deviated to our present day problems. I can’t help but ask myself, “how can humans hate each other and commit the atrocities we do to other ppl?” Especially for totally pointless shit like skin color or what they would like to be called ffs. I had a thought that those ppl are presented with the struggle of life and misplace their angst at the prospect of the daily challenge of self improvement. They don’t hate ppl for the little things, not really, they just don’t know how to use their inner conflict productively.

I love Star Trek for stirring these thoughts. Thank you for your posts Stamets. Peace and long life 🖖🏻
