Over time it adds up.&lt;p&gt;At sometime you will hit something interesting: Personal Sovereignty.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve seen other folks hit this in weird ways.&lt;p&gt;My friend started working on cars with his buddy.  They finally got to an old vehicle they took all the way apart and put it together.  He had gotten to the point where he could pull the engine and put it on a stand, weld things, paint, redo the wiring harness.&lt;p&gt;I remember one day I went and looked at it and he sort of casually said, &amp;quot;I can do anything&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I think the diagram says something else to me.  It says he understands what his setup does enough to show it&amp;#x2F;explain it to someone else.</text><parent_chain><item><author>FunnyLookinHat</author><text>The diagram alone is more than enough of an argument to dissuade me from giving this a shot right now - it&amp;#x27;s simply too complicated and too much to manage for the amount of time I can dedicate to it.&lt;p&gt;BUT - I&amp;#x27;m really thankful for people who keep posting and sharing these sorts of projects; they&amp;#x27;re the ones iterating the process for the rest of us who need something a bit more turn-key.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m excited to see this eventually result in something like the following:&lt;p&gt;- Standard &amp;#x2F; Easy to update containerized setup.&lt;p&gt;- Out of the box multi-location syncs (e.g. home, VPS, etc.)&lt;p&gt;- Takes 5 minutes to configure&amp;#x2F;add new locations&lt;p&gt;I want this to be as easy as adding a new AP to my mesh wifi system at home: plug it in, open the app, name the AP, and click &amp;quot;Done&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;(Edit - formatting)</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Screw it, I’ll host it myself</title><url>https://www.markozivanovic.com/screw-it-ill-host-it-myself/</url></story>
