Second this. Landlords don't want their stuff screwed up by inexperienced tenants' diy projects, and they don't want to pay for something they think it's unnecessary. I'd get an estimate for a pro to do it (could be a guy off Craigslist or whatever, just someone who does this for a living) and then just ask the landlord if they'd be alright with you paying to get it done. They'll probably want to know exactly what they're going to do, and they'll likely say yes, especially since you say they already have coax running through the house.
Landlords are familiar with utility install people and how unpredictable they can be. Even if they get mad, this will put the blame squarely on someone else so it's probably a good option for you. "I dunno why he put it there. You know how utility guys are. It's the only place he'd put my hookup."
I was diagnosed 7 years ago as autistic, though I didnt realise at the time it was a diagnosis, I was informed a few years later that what I thought was a specialists opinion was actually a formal diagnosis. But due to family history, my adhd was addressed first. They were supposed to refer me to autism specialist after the adhd...
If you ever feel like an imposter just walk into a busy public bathroom like at Walmart or a big gas station. Do your business. Wash your hands, and let the commotion, lack of personal space, and horrible air dryer noise shatter your soul and know that you're autistic.
There's no forgetting where I have something hosted. If I ssh to service.domain.tld I'm on the right server. My services are all in docker compose. All in a ~/docker/service folder, that contains all the volumes for the service. If there's anything that needed doing, like setting up a docker network or adding a user in the cli, I have a readme file in the service's root directory. If I need to remember literally anything about the server or service, there's an appropriately named text file in the directory I would be in when I need to remember it.
If you just want a diagram or something, there are plenty of services online that will generate one in ASCII for you so you can make yourself a nice "network topology" readme to drop in your servers' home directory.
Yeah, and I assume future me will be even dumber than present day me, so I try to make it really easy for him to find out what he needs to know.
Another good tip is to put timestamps and increase the length of your bash history. That way when I log in half a year from now I'll know what I was up to.
Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?...
All of your issues can be solved by a backup. My host went out of business. I set up a new server, pulled my backups, and was up and running in less than an hour.
I'd recommend docker compose. Each service gets its own folder inside your docker folder. All volumes are a folder in the services folder. Each night, run a script that stops all of them, starts duplicati, backs up to a remote server or webdav share or whatever, and then starts them back up again. If you want to be extra safe, back up to two locations. It's not that complicated if it's just your own services.
It's no secret that people with adhd often have sleep issues. I certainly do. I'm curious what bedtime routine helps others sleep. My partner likes to read a boring book before bed, but I struggle to read books unless they are engaging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
I use an app called insight timer. It has guided meditations. I hated the idea, and I still hate the idea, but it works. There are a bunch of different types, so you can look around to find one that works for you. I'm sure you can find the same things on YouTube or whatever, but this collecta them all into one place.
I work in a technical field, and the amount of bad work I see is way higher than you'd think. There are companies without anyone competent to do what they claim to do. Astonishingly, they make money at it and frequently don't get caught. Sometimes they have to hire someone like me to fix their bad work when they do cause themselves actual problems, but that's much less expensive than hiring qualified people in the first place. That's probably where we're headed with ais, and honestly it won't be much different than things are now, except for the horrible dystopian nature of replacing people with machines. As time goes on they'll get fed the corrections competent people make to their output and the number of competent people necessary will shrink and shrink, till the work product is good enough that they don't care to get it corrected. Then there won't be anyone getting paid to do the job, and because of ais black box nature we will completely lose the knowledge to perform the job in the first place.
There are also plenty of medical reasons for even sexually inactive women to take hormonal birth control. This isn't only about pregnancy, which as you say can have all sorts of physical consequences.
I'm not the kind of 'trendy' bipolar, although my cunt of an aunt believes I have 'convinced' myself of that, despite being to the nuthouse twice (50 days total) and several psycho-shinks having diagnosed me with several other mental disorders; the very first nuttyness I got diagnosed with was of course, ADD/ADHD. I was given...
As to why it might be relevant at 31, according to my psychiatrist drugs may affect autistic brains differently, so that is probably relevant if you're on psychiatric drugs. Also, symptoms may need to be interpreted differently. So if you're basically fine then it's probably not a big deal, but if you're looking for improvement and you can't seem to get it you might find out the reason, and hopefully a path to get some better results.
FYI it's not black and white. You don't necessarily need to go through the formal diagnosis. If you see someone familiar with working with autistic adults, they may feel confident just meeting with you a couple times.
Autism is written about in medical terms exceedingly differently from how autistic people would explain the experience of being autistic. My best advice for you is to look up autistic adults online. Read and watch them and see if it just clicks that these are your people. We're all different, but if you find a few autistic people that just click you might want to check into it more.
I think that is one reason why we tend to like shows like star trek. They almost play like they're on a stage where you have to see their expressions from afar. pretty easy to catch what's going on.

Not going to pretend that Frozen 2 is my favorite movie, but having seen it dozens of times with my kids...
The dam wasn't the problem. It was a symbol of the problem, which was the rift between the 2 peoples living in such close proximity. Nature is indifferent, people are not. Nature doesn't care if there's a dam, it just becomes a different habitat. People should have cared about impacting each other's way of life.
Nature removed the dam, and the barrier to the people coming together, when the responsible parties decided to right their wrongs and consider each other, regardless of the high cost. Even if that's not the case, the story remains that nature's power has to be harnessed to a purpose by people. But I think they were going for the former.
Anyway, not a great movie, but also not a plot hole.

What tool do you use to display your self-hosting infrastructure
Hey, I have to „draw“ or make notes of my selfhosting stuff....
Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?

Could bipolar people also be 'on the spectrum'? I had a natural birth (oxygen could have been cut off to my brain during birth?)

How do you experience eye contact?
I'm still on my journey of understanding the differences between autism and other. My focus today is eye contact, so let's have a discussion!...
What plot holes could be adequately explained away with a single shot or line of dialogue?
