Can confirm, is Mr Rich Tea 😂

I love that one!

Honestly sometimes aircon is a curse too - we bought one of those portable units, it's great and turns our bedroom baltic but if you forget to turn it off you wake up with a really bad cotton mouth and an electric bill that makes you question your life choices

No rain here yet but I don't think it's far away! I think I'll be doing a mix of some cleaning, gardening and fixing the winch on one of my landrovers if it stays dry out there

It would most likley be fine, however IMO hosting a public service on your home network without segregation such as firewall/vlans etc, it can attract people on the internet who will try and break in, you won't have things like DDOS protection either

You'd be best getting a cheap VPS off somewhere like OVH, Linode, Hetzner etc with a public IP and run your instance there, that way it is entirely seperate but also you have options to upgrade system resources for little up front expense

Again, probably fine but I'd not do it personally

I launched mine using the lemmy-ansible repo: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible It's quite straight forward to follow and works out of the box without much effort required, good luck!
