the main reason I haven't launched the damn website yet is that I'm still doing primary research on how to answer the question: what is an acceptable set of software to use and how to use it, to selfhost my digital life and a suite of web services while semi-nomadic?

the fact that I am evolving how I do that on nearly every front means everything takes 5x the effort right now because there's no muscle memory for the new ways yet. but it won't be that way forever. and once I settle on some answers to some of the open questions I have, I can document all those decisions as part of launching the damn website.

but thankfully there are parts of my #surfhosting tech stack which are fairly settled already:

OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT

Virtualization: #Proxmox

Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU

Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN

Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use

Power: 90% of everything powered from compact #GaN USB-PD power supplies; 24/7 gear backed by ~15 year old consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP 12V batteries
