  • I totally agree and understand the use case. That plays into that more in depth type of self hosting most here do. All I have is storage via Synology, and Pi-hole, smart home controls and a media server in separate containers.

    My use case is strictly QoL improvements that my wife would either just live without or switch to a more conventional, easy to use setup for her.


  • I don’t self host to the extent many here seem too but I have had the same thought and joked with my wife about it.

    Ultimately everything I’ve setup I’ve done in part because it’s my hobby and it interests me. When I’m gone my family will revert to whatever they’d normally be doing without me, because they don’t have interest in it like I do.



  • What is your comment supposed to mean?

    It’s supposed to mean I can’t speak for the country or all the Guyanese people based on my limited, anecdotal experience with one family.

    I’m not informed on the regional geopolitics, I’ve never been there. Hell, I had to look up the appropriate demonym because I couldn’t remember if it was Guyanese or Guyanan.

    It makes me sad to see this and think that people who were so nice and exposed me to Guyanese culture, a country I hadn’t even known existed and would have guessed was in South Asia, might see their cultural home attacked.

    It’s supposed to mean I don’t know what I don’t know and I’m not comfortable making assumptions or inferences when I’m not informed.

    Seems like that’s not a problem you have.














  • If you object to your kids getting indoctrinated or whatever, your remedy is homeschool or private school not trying to force everyone else’s kids to fit into your worldview.

    Sounds like you live in Florida so you’re closer to it than most but, doesn’t this point to it not being about what their children are exposed to?

    To me the whole thing smacks of control, not concern for their children. I don’t doubt some (many?) of these parents are honest in their beliefs but with what you pointed out, wouldn’t it make the most sense to homeschool?

    I’m maybe way off base it just looks to me as an outsider like these parents were more interested in controlling what all children are taught and now they’re taking their ball and going home, so to speak.
