Be Your Own AWS

Hosting a server doesn't have to cost a ton of money. Normally you'd rent out a tiny portion of a server stack, in some building somewhere, paying per month for a server plan, but that doesn't have to be the case. Any device with even a little bit of computing power and access to the internet can turn into a server, like that old office desktop sitting around just waiting to be dumped. The goal of this session is to talk about the differences between a LAN and a WAN, how servers themselves work, and ultimately provide the knowledge and tools necessary to make your own home server from scratch.
