Hi there! This is a video that I made that I'm hoping can act as a beginner friendly entry level point to the world of self hosting and running a homelab. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested, and I hope it can be a resource to share with noobies. I don't claim to be an expert at all so I'd also love some feedback. Thanks!

The key is to find another friend on another continent and you store a copy of their shit and they store a copy of your shit (automatic encrypted daily sync, of course)
