I am running !parabola on the #Intel #NUC (NUC5PPYH) for my !selfhosting !server. Occasionaly, the #LAN gets disconnected, and since the machine is headless, I have to hard reboot the machine. This happens regardless of whether the LAN is connected through #ethernet or through #USB. Similarly, while booting up, sometimes the LAN fails to connect, and I have to repeatedly hard reboot until the LAN connects. I wonder if there is some bug in the LAN driver for the NUC hardware.

Thankfully though, this problem is not so frequent that it is a major concern. Also, since the server lives with me in my bedroom rather in some remote location, it is easily accessible for quick repairs. Despite the difficulties, selfhosting is still so empowering and fun. I can't imagine living my digital life in a corporate controlled silo. If I was forced to do that for some reason, I'd feel like having been thrown in prison.
