The Ford Maverick hybrid looks quite excellent

Yeah, a generator would be a great option for most people, I imagine.

I think they do/will make a lot of sense. Being able to drive to a job site and run your welder or other tools from the truck’s battery seems like a game changer for certain applications. The Chevy Silverado EV and the F-150 Lightning seem pretty nice to me. They’ll both be much more appealing once battery tech, charging speed, and charging infrastructure improve. I’m pretty stoked about this new company called Telo, I hope they make it. It’s a pretty small truck with an 8’ bed that’s about as long as a Mini Cooper, plus it has the solar tech from Aptera.

Edit: and I imagine the Rivian R2T and R3T will be pretty sweet.

It’s an improvement over his last haircut. He looks like he actually goes outside sometimes now, too.

That actually helps a lot, thanks!

I appreciate the extra details but I still don’t know what “caddy”, “VPS”, “tailscale tunnel”, or “zero days” are, but I can look it up.

Can someone ELI5? I’m a noob who aspires to set up immich in the near future. I only recently started making efforts to separate myself from the cloud. So far I’ve got a wireguard server set up and I’ve disconnected both my Bambu printers from the cloud and I’m currently setting up some home assistant stuff. Pretty soon I’m hoping to set up a NAS, Immich, Plex (or similar) and replace my google nest cameras.

Hey OP, I’m just starting my self-hosting journey as well. I can program a little bit in Python and C++ but I haven’t needed any of that so far. As others have said, some familiarity with Linux would be very helpful. The things I’ve done so far:

• Wireguard VPN server on my router(no programming or linux commands, just some config of my router which I was able to do in the router’s GUI.
• Wireguard VPN client on some of my devices. My phone setup was easy, still working on setting that up on my Windows/Ubuntu laptop.
• Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi (WIP).

Eventually I plan to set up a NAS with Immich and some local IP cameras and Plex or something similar.

I need a guide

First, thanks everyone for all the info, glad I posted. It’s a lot to go through.

OpenWRT is the most frequently recommended thing here, and my router is not supported. I somewhat recently purchased my router (Asus AX6600) when I switched to fiber due to its high bandwidth and I’d prefer to not replace it. I’ll look around and see what options I have for putting a separate device upstream of my current hardware and if that doesn’t work out then maybe I’ll replace my current router.

I see that you can install openwrt on a switch. Would it make sense to put a switch with openwrt upstream of my current router/AP?

Edit: dang there’s only 1 switch supported by openwrt that has 10 gbps ports (ZyXEL XGS1250-12)

They’re definitely on my radar whenever I get around to setting up a NAS

Uses more aluminum to store the same amount of liquid too.
