Hiring Someone to setup servers (lemmy.world)

I would very much like to move from Google and Microsoft and other proprietary, non privacy services.

I have spent hundreds of $ and thousands of hours trying to setup various different services on various different platforms and every single one of them has been difficult, annoying, frustrating, and ultimately fails.

I have concluded I am just not the guy to do this as I am Windows CAD guy and have no idea what I am doing with networking, Linux or CLI. 90% of the words and terms in tutorials are greek to me.

I am looking for notes (Joplin), Google Drive replacement (NextCloud?), and email (??) on a cloud server. And then video streaming (plex or jellyfin + *arr?) and photo management (immich?) on my local machines.

Let me know if you are interested or know of somewhere better to post this.

I don't believe you. If you spend that much time on something you get good at it.

Too bad it's not just one thing

But it gets easier with every thing. You learn the more general concepts too.

My bowling average begs to differ.

Lol, a thousand hours would be 6 months of full time work (40 hour week). I'm not sure I'd employ someone who has 6 months of IT experience into a systems administrator job and task them to build a an erp/dms/unified coms solution for a client.

But this guy should be able to do it as a hobby?
