What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server.

The mouse did not survive interrogation.

Also mouse not pictured.

I do not care to admit how many times when I was first getting into home labbing that I could not figure out why I could not reach a pi or the internet. All because I either killed an SD card for pihole or just plain out forgot to put one in!

I took my SD card out of the rpi to reinstall home assistant. Terribly annoyed because I had no backup of my configuration.

When reinstalling my SD I found out it was the ethernet cable that wasn’t plugged in.

I am so afraid of an SD card dying and killing my HA so I have a HD setup. I have one good SD card of the 10’s of cards I have killed and it is now running my ssh honey pot on a pi 0 2.
