A year of running everything from a laptop

No cloud. No VPS. A loud fan and a domain name. What I learned about uptime, electricity, and the difference between a hobby and a habit.

No cloud. No VPS. A loud fan and a domain name.

The setup

One laptop, a UPS, a router that pretends to be a server.

Outages

Twice. Both my fault. Both fixed by walking ten feet.

Electricity bills

Less than a cup of coffee. The laptop is good at being a laptop.

Would I do it again

Probably not. But I am glad I did.
