As someone who spent a lot of time learning html/css and wordpress to get a site i'm ok with, but not thrilled.

I'd say skip wordpress. I think it's overkill for a portfolio. Mine is just a personal blog, and i'm about to sign up for the $9 a month Ghost Pro hosting with a free theme. I'm over the plugins and getting nickel and dimed for features.

Like others have mentioned, a static site generator may be good too.

Also, it isn't open source, but i really like blot.im. I use it for Obsidian.md instead of the built-in publish because it's a lot cheaper, and it's close enough in appearance/quality.

EDIT: Actually, it looks like I was wrong. Blot.im appears to be open source too.

I already wanted a Steam Deck, but was saving up for one of the higher tiers. Then I found out how relatively easy it is to buy the cheap one and add an nvme drive. So, now my savings goal is a lot closer.

EDIT: Fixed some typos

I have the app, but haven't really used it much. I put most things into my linkding instance and forget about it. Lol.

Maybe I should start with Omnivore first to keep from clogging up my bookmarks.

I've been selfhosting for almost a year, and I'm still on the lookout for anything I can host.

I've reached a point where if I don't have a use for something, i'll still try to make an unraid template if there isn't one. Just to install it and try it out. Lol

I want that router, but I don't have a good reason to give my wife why our RB4011 needs to be upgraded...lol

It's written specifically for unraid, but given they are mainly python scripts, it may work on other systems.

Requires plex and the *arr stack.

Along with the crazy prices, there is the simplicity. No need to figure out what is streaming where. Just open plex/jellyfin and watch.

Extremely simple! It's literally just a few screws and unplug the old one and put in the new. Took all of 10 minutes and at least half of that was trying to find my small screwdriver bits. Lol

My use case sounds similar to yours, so I'd second the T480. I got one 7-8 months ago, and it's been great so far. Only thing I changed was I put in a backlit keyboard.

I don't know any general laptop communities. At leasr not ones with any activity, but !thinkpad@lemmy.ml seems relatively active.

If you ever need to find a community, https://lemmyverse.net/communities is a decent place to start.

I'm still procrastinating on figuring out the majority of my backup solution, mainly because I get overwhelmed too. But there is a backblaze personal docker template on the Unraid Community App store. You could do one way syncthing and have that backup to backblaze.

The only thing I currently backup offsite is an encrypted archive of my paperless-ngx content. I use rclone for that.

I found this guide on reddit that goes over borg and rclone. Seems to walk you through most of it. https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/e6l4x6/tutorial_borg_rclone_v2_the_best_method_to/

But, i'm also making assumptions on your technical abilities, which I guess is part of the problem you have with cli tools....

Anecdotal experience incoming...

I used to pump gas in NJ at a Wawa. I got paid around $9 an hour in the early 2000s. At Wawa at least, the gas attendants get paid the same as the inside staff.

Tips were always appreciated, but never expected.

But why? What makes it different than any other service job? I pumped gas in NJ for several years, and it was a decent job all things considered.
