How practical is it to run a server at your house? Is fiber a must? What if the power goes out? What about exposing your home ip?

Colo is a much better option, but i've hosted at home before. I have fiber, UPS, and a generator. The home IP wasn't a concern, but you could proxy behind cloudflare or something?

I love X and find it being in maintenance a good thing? It seems to work all the time and stays out of my way. That’s what I want.

Oh well. There are alternatives out there. This is what we get for basing your game on someone else’s business.

Maybe I’m not the ideal reader for this, but the main take away for me is I need to rename master to trunk because it makes a lot more sense.

That was my original goal, lol.
