I've studied automotive and never really graduate, but I love reading manuals since I was a kid and always believe that even I don't know what am I doing as long I can read It's manual, guide, documentation and read support I could get a grasp of it even if it takes more time.
A part that made it easier for me to understand self-hosting is the raspberry pi. It let me thinker self-hosting without worrying about power bill, how can I easily reinstall its OS even if I make bunch of mistake, make different copies of my setup on different sd card without worries of hdd or ssd.
Then from that just upgraded stuff from what I've learned.
wow I didn't know they we're closing down.
I learned game modding/translation from that xentax and zenhax and just retired last year.
I've never backup a site before, but I do have some self-hosting knowledge, any guide out there that will help me back up the site?
