That's not bad

The greatest advice my teachers in university told me was to tackle everything in life with the foundation/philosophy of K.I.S.S. = Keep It Simple Stupid.

It's more of a code to live by; to which you should ask yourself the question first "why do I need this thing?" What problem is it solving, and is there a simpler method?

Usually, most labbers don't even need 10% of what we think we need. We introduce complexity for the sake of complexity.

Just be comfortable with an ecosystem or make your own that aligns with your values/principles.

Hone your senses by questioning the conceptual integrity of others (everyone has an opinion, don't take their opinion unless they're a trusted person that you respect). If you want to emulate someone based on their own system that matches yours, then do exactly to the letter what they have done and mimic their approach. Most times, you find that once you've concluded your journey you often feel it wasn't worth the journey in the end and you take those hard lessons and sometimes failures and it bridges your understanding further to the truth of a matter.

Because it's a complicated topic, you're just feeling the actual responsibilities of doing it right that many are ignoring now.

I got hooked by Youtube videos from TechnoTim Christian Lempa and others. Videos include screen capture what they are doing so it bridges some things that may be missing from text guide because it may be 'obvious' if you are doing it all the time.

I keep to principal that I have two 'sections' in my lab 'production' and 'testing' Testing I am mucking about testing stuff it works and production has some stuff that I rely on.

Begging the question.

Also, "Reverse proxy, VPN, Cloudfare bullshit" - you don't need these things.

Skill issue.

It was pretty easy for me.
