It may be routine for you and obvious. Still, if I am honest, it blows my mind that it is possible today (as compared to 2000), to get a decent barebone with incredibly cheap and colossal RAM and storage and network interfaces and fail-overs, install bitcoind, electrs, cln, lnbits, nutshell, RTL, nextcloud, onlyoffice, jitsi, photo prism, listmonk, WordPress, transmission, ... all for FUCKING free, if (big if) you know how this shit works. I remember paying dozens of thousands of dollars annually for WebEx in the early 0 years. But you know what: back then, people would join just because of the video conferencing tech and tell their loved ones about it at dinner or breakfast (depending on time zones); my product was the add-one ;-) I bought their shares before Cisco acquired them, waaaay before Eric Yuan started Zoom. Here we are 25 years later, and FOSS is king. Love it.
