"you know how you can’t talk to someone on Twitter.com from facebook.com? But you can email from your @gmail.com to someone with an @yahoo.com address?
That’s the difference, federated social media is like email in this way."
I’m mostly sure even my elderly parents understood it when I said it…
Agreed on word fence.
I didn’t say to specify a port in the DNS. I just said that it is a way that we can resolve a resource.
In the case of ports we’d configure it through whatever webserver (Apache, nginx, traefik, whatever) configs necessary on that machine. The DNS in this scenario would only be for the machines IP where our webserver then routes traffic to different ports.
I was accounting for both valid setups.
That suggested, it could be done with ports, or it could be done with separate servers.
Domain.com resolves to 1.2.3.4
www.domain.com resolves to 1.2.3.4:443
app.domain.com resolves to 1.2.3.4:5555
Games.domain.com resolves to 1.2.5.6
Mail.domaim.com resolves to 1.2.7.8
Portal.domain.com resolves to 1.2.9.10
Etc, etc.
Aggregates gonna aggregate
If you’re into developing and stuff, GitLab

Jellyfin server
ELK stack or security onion
Get steam working, connect via steam link.
If you’re still on Twitter/X, you might as well join Truth Social.
Everyone is gonna learn best differently. There’s no best place to start.
Id start with solving a problem. For me, this was not wanting to make a backup to transfer my data from my old machine to my new one. So I built a little Ubuntu Server, setup a rudimentary samba share, setup users/groups, and figured out how to access that data from my network.
Docker is easy, you’ll learn it by mistake. It’ll haunt you like it’s some complicated thing until you realize you’re doing it and it’s literally incredibly straightforward.
From there, Id maybe say go to WordPress and follow instructions about setting up a WordPress site in a docker container. Oops, you just learned docker.
Id hold off on hosting email. I mean it’s a noble goal but it’s a fucking headache. But that’s just me! Like I said, everyone’s different.
Piece of advice, before you go hosting a monero server, dig into cybersecurity. Particularly server hardening. I recommend Hack The Box. There’s tons of platforms, though.

Aw, poor doggy. ☹️
It’s okay, buddy.

SMART tools
sudo apt-get install smartmontools
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX where sdX is your drive in question (sdA, sdB, etc).
| grep Power_On_Hours
| grep Power_Cycle_Count
This just tells you how much that drive was used in the past, It’s not a perfect to test but it’s what I do 🤷♂️
It’s a gamble.
When you lose, you can simply return it.
When you win, you get a hard drive that works for really cheap.
I purchased one in 2020 that I still haven’t replaced, although I’m buying the replacement now as it has begun it’s slow certain death.

Discoverability issues as per yesterdays search giants methods of crawling the web.
It’s quite clear that companies like Google and Microsoft are vulnerable in the search game right now.
I mean in the end you’re probably right, but if there were ever a time for a well-funded group to take aim at the suddenly low barriered entry, I think this is probably Custer’s last stand.
Their procurement policy is basically “has it been recommended? Is anyone else using it? Is it cheap?”
I work in public sector.
Market to tax funded institutions. If you can market “self hosted” as cheaper and easier than mother solutions you’ll have guaranteed clients for a long time.
Okay. Your laptop can’t ping or SSH into the server. First, figure out if the problem is one-way. Can the server ping the laptop, or is it just dead in both directions?
You mentioned all other devices communicate normally—do they all fail to reach the laptop, or is the issue isolated to the laptop and server pair?
Physically check the server and confirm both IP addresses to ensure you’re not chasing the wrong info. Once you’ve got the correct IPs, ping the laptop from the server’s side. If the server can’t reach it either, you know this isn’t just a laptop-to-server problem.
Also, did you set up a firewall on the laptop? That’s worth looking into. And yes, it’s annoying, but try the simple stuff: disconnect and reconnect your laptop’s Wi-Fi, reboot it, even run sudo apt update just to rule out anything weird. Start with these basics before moving on to more complicated troubleshooting.
