   idk if tools got better or if I just know more but self hosting feels infinitely easier than it was ~10 years ago.

   Proxmox is really nice and makes management of containers and VMs so easy?!
   Also big fan of bare LXC containers instead of the added complexity of Docker, esp. for just a NAS at home.

     @timonsku discovery is a big thing i tried to tackle in glasgow, where you can explore the possibilities step by step

     i think i succeeded because i myself dont memorize how it works (mostly)

     I think having a focused functional UI also does a lot of heavy lifting. Complex stuff like this just massively sucks with a CLI tool. CLI means I need to memorize functionality, discovery of functionality is awful in a CLI context. With the UI its pretty trivial to learn as you go and there is much less context to hold in your head.

     Proxmox strikes a good balance where dropping into the CLI is a click away within the UI to do the handful of unusual things that you don't want to expose on a UI.
