I’m in exactly tha same boat, but with 16 years of exp. I’ve considered investing into aviation school, but realistically it takes a couple of years and then a few more before you start earning well.

I’ve been using coolify for in house services and databases at work on our own hardware, it works pretty well, albeit a bit difficult to get the initial setup going. So far it does the job.

This was a really good read, I love how the author explains the whole story from the start and how it all started from a bit of tinkering with the hardware just for fun and grew into something bigger.
