Sometimes I think this community should be called homelab instead of selfhosted based on the kinds of questions

What's the cost and impact of downtime for you? If you're doing this for personal use it's probably minimal for both so doesn't really matter. If you want to try the new thing and you're not afraid of the time investment or potential downtime then go for it

I used to play this with my dad. I always kind of thought it was something he made up but "has been played on US naval and marine ships since the early 1900s." tracks because he was in the navy.

Runc is native.

It's been a long time since I took it but these are two I recall being helpful. There is a ton of material out there on this cert. I think I recall the official book being helpful too.

Part 1 and part 5 look most applicable to you. You're unlikely to ever need or want to mess with dynamic routing unless you're doing networking for very large networks for example.

What you're looking for is a backup. RAID is not a backup, as another poster said it's a tool for enduring high availability, and possibly higher throughput.

Buy a second pi and put it in another location in your house or even better at friends house then configure regular backups of your important data to it. There are also cloud services for doing backups which are great because having a location to do off-site backups to can be really hard to get as an individual.

A lot of this is being complicated for you by not understanding networking fundamentals. I'd suggest looking into a Network+ certification which will cover all of these basics like DNS. You don't have to actually get the cert, just going through the motions on learning the material should help a lot.

You seem to be close on grokking the whole picture and just need some of the basics that are hard to pick up from just doing things at home. A lot of work has been done to try abstract that away from consumers in order to make things easier which is making it harder for you.

This is bad but the Fediverse is going to be just as, or even more, vulnerable to this kind of thing.

Fair enough. Personally I'd start with their documentation then: https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/

For OS it looks like they support RHEL/CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, and SUSE so I'd stick with one of those.

Openstack is like self-hosting your own cloud provider. My 2 cents is that it's probably way overkill for personal use. You'd probably be interested in it if you had a lot of physical servers you wanted to present as a single pooled resource for utilization.

How does one install it?

From what I heard from a former coworker - with great difficulty.

What is the difference between a hypervisor/openstack/a container service (podman,docker)?

A hypervisor runs virtual machines. A container service runs containers which are like virtual machines that share the host's kernel (more to it than that but that's the simplest explanation). Openstack is a large ecosystem of pieces of software that runs the aforementioned components and coordinates it between a horizontally scaling number of physical servers. Here's a chart showing all the potential components: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Openstack-map-v20221001.jpg

If you're asking what the difference between a container service and a hypervisor are then I'd really recommend against pursuing this until you get more experience.

Maybe it should have had an amazing soundtrack like The last of Us

Neat

How is this different from Fail2Ban?

You can't even play the game from 2017 anymore

Good luck with that. It has some pretty difficult puzzles

Apparently I'm not up on my Mario lore

Ugh, what did they do this time

You're conflating 'country' and 'people' then. The 'country' that gave up the land had this flag: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ae/Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg/2560px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png

Are you referring to the British Empire (who was a victor of WW2) or the Ottoman Empire (who no longer existed)?

Typically there's a period of responsible disclosure to give the software maintainer an opportunity to fix it before it's widely announced. After that period is up or the fix has been released the vulnerability discoverer is able to announce it and take credit for finding it.
