On October 26th, 2024, during the Linux Day in Milan, I spoke for the first time in front of an audience about a topic I am particularly passionate about: self-hosting.
Below, you can find the abstract of the talk, along with the video and slides.
Abstract
The goal of the talk is to present a new perspective on self-hosting to an audience already familiar with the topic. After introducing the reasons for “self-hosting,” the talk will touch on some upcoming products marketed as “single board servers,” that is, single board computers with a focus on networking and expanded connectivity features.
Following that, it will showcase the use of NixOS to configure a machine for self-hosting through a walk-through approach, drawing parallels with more common distributions.
The talk will be presented by two students from Politecnico di Milano, members of POuL.

I would like to thank Leonardo Salvini for his support and help.
