In time,

I hope to set up a tiny self hosted instance running on a Raspberry Pi. Containing my personal bubble of interests. In other words it will be my virtual cyber essence.

My cyber-sole/soul if you like, the best bits. Calling my Lemmy/Fediverse instance, Operation Horcrux.

IT is a dream. Expecto Patronum …

    host my own DNS, reverse proxy, web server, little websites, write some code

    I’ve done all of those and let me tell you: never host your DNS. All the others you listed are worth doing. Self hosting DNS is a lot of pain for little/no gain.

      What do you mean? Pi-Hole + Unbound is a relatively painless setup. Even if you’re running BIND, it’s not hard once you get your configs done the first time.

      I think you might be talking about email (and I do plan to host my email): but I won’t be sending mail through my personal email server. It’s just to receive email in a more private manner instead of some company knowing about what I use/have subscribed to.
