That's why I bothered to set up a nixOS config to deploy a docker cluster... I'm planning to give my friends and family a USB that connects to a private shared VPN, so all I have to do is walk them through booting from it
We all get a way to back up stuff with redundancy, and I'll throw up a Jellyfish server, maybe set up some llm assistants to scrape the web for interesting news and put it in a Lemmy instance or something. These are all things I want for myself, and I am willing to configure it exactly once... At that point, might a well let people I trust join the cluster.
Even my technical family used to scoff and ask why bother... This last week when my sister called and asked what I was up to, instead of explaining that it's more than just targeted ads, I asked if they noticed that everything sucks way more lately.
They never used to listen before... I think that's changing. I think it's time to build out alternatives
