@Aminorjourney If I had the means and opportunity of hosting my own stuff at home, including my stuff, I would absolutely go for it.

In fact, for the first few years, I hosted the off of a Compaq iPad desktop running FreeBSD on a DSL connection that provided 8 public IPs. I had everything behind a Cisco PIX 501 firewall to keep things a little less jank.

That said, I don't know what I want to do with my personal mail server. It's out on a cloud provider that's no longer supporting FreeBSD. So, I'm stuck at FreeBSD 12 until I can migrate that to another Debian or Ubuntu server; or, give up and go with an e-mail provider. It's not that I don't want to manage my own mail server (and thus control my own data); but, I no longer have the time or energy to do so.

Spent most of today completely reworking/revamping the print media formatting and styles for the Wait Wait Stats Page.

This has been in the backlog for some time and I think the results look pretty darn good. Gone are the gobs of wasted whitespace. The printed version now looks closer to the actual page when viewed on a desktop (sans navigation and menus).

The update will be going live in production in a little while at stats.wwdt.me
