I like FOSS and I like the community. It's probably just in my character to be motivated for someone else, which is why I'm looking for ways to trick my brain
Yeah but some things are best consumed privately, and a media server is probably one of them (because I'm not going to do any requesting pipelines like sonarr/radarr etc)
Hosting FOSS on infrastructure is what I want to dedicate my life towards outside of work. I just need to find motivation to actually do things for myself (which will greatly help me) instead of looking for the dopamine hit when I think I'm doing something that will help the community
Not sure - I don't feel like I undervalue myself (although I guess that's exactly what someone in my situation would say lmao). I just don't find motivation in doing something solely for myself, and am instead invested in things that I think the community could benefit from. An example would be wanting to run a Public Searx/Invidious instance
Can you give me an example where the service I need to host is just for myself but I need to trick my brain into doing it? Like a private Jellyfin instance?
I use Kubernetes, and TBH the problem isn't the know-how (I can just learn what I don't know). The problem is a lack of motivation for doing it solely for myself; I know I should do it but why on earth can't I muster enough motivation to actually sit down and configure??
I kind of want to do it though. I want to be busy. I want to be hosting FOSS software for other people, like a SearX instance and maybe Invidious. The problem is, there's many more things that I should be doing in my homelab but for some reason I find more motivation in doing something that can help others rather than for myself
Your saying I'm lacking motivation because I'm not organized enough?
