Given the repeat questions you can find here on basics, it’s kind of surprising there doesn’t appear to be a commonly shared FAQ, website, or book going over some of the basics.

E.g. ways to safely connect to home servers over the internet while away, when it may be better to spin up services on a VPS instead, etc.

Have I been overlooking some shared text-based resource concerning the subject, or…?

Also fwiw I did look at the sidebar links, and the awesome-sysadmin link has links to sections for blogs/books, but as of writing this, they were empty sections.
