How's your stuff doing? Unplanned interruptions or achieving uptime records?

I'm currently sailing rather smooth. Most of my stuff is migrated to Komodo, there will stay some exceptions and I only have to migrate Lemmy itself I think. Of course that's when I found a potential replacement but I'll let it sit for a while before touching it again. Enjoying the occasional Merge Request notification from the Renovate Bot and knowing my stuff is mostly up to date.

I'm thinking about setting up some kind of Wiki for my other niche hobby (Netrunner LCG) lore as there's a fandom one that most people avoid touching and updating but since I likely won't have time to start writing some articles on my own as a kickoff I'm hesitant. Also not sure which wiki I'd choose as well.

You can rent a cheap VServer as well and use its static IP to forward traffic. Easiest for it would be SSH reverse tunnel. Or you could VPN it with your homelab (connection established from within your homelab).

If you don't want to rely on an external service you could as well establish a VPN server within your homelab and use IPv6 to connect to it, although the disadvantage would be, that if you're trying to connect from IPv4 networks 'outside' that wouldn't work.

Just listing some options to research. Welcome to the hobby, have fun 🤗

I'd rather not rely on an external service if possible. I'm just starting to read up on doing the whole VPN thing.

I appreciate your response and will keep your suggestions in mind as I move forward.
