▲ 48 ▼ How do I become one with the botnet (lemmy.ml) submitted 9 months ago by crash_thepose@lemmy.ml to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world 15 comments fedilink hide all child comments I just started self hosting. I have been really enjoying it so far but I'm nervous that the excitement will wear off soon unless something stressful or even catastrophic happens. Any advice?
