Hey siri what month is it

Jesus Christ fellas

I upvoted your comment but man I wouldn’t even take a freebie from Oracle. Just an absolutely rotten company and Larry Ellison is one of the worst humans on the planet.

Proxmox

Unraid

UniFi

Raspberry Pi

Docker

I don’t have time to respond, but exploring the capabilities of any of those things would be a great place to start.
