My services all serve a purpose.
I host a portfolio website. It gets me exposure even though I’m not actively seeking other employment.
My wife runs her own travel agency so her website is also required.
Pihole is used daily to block ads on our network.
Wireguard is on our mobile devices (phones, laptops) so we always have a secure connection on untrusted wifi, ad blocking, access to our documents that live on our file server. I’m at MCO right now waiting for a flight with full confidence that my connection is secure.
Nginx proxy manager to route the website traffic.
Rclone is used to regularly backup the file server that holds our documents.
Minecraft server because happy toddler = happy life.
I used to selfhost bitwarden (vaultwarden) but changed to paying $10/yr to relieve myself of the added stress that it brought for security/backups.
