As others have said it won’t damage your car’s mechanicals to move it slightly in neutral.
That said, here’s what you should do: Do not turn the car off immediately after pulling into a parking spot. Pull the parking brake, put it in neutral, get out of your car and inspect your alignment & position. If you’re happy, turn off the car. If you want to move, you have power and can adjust normally while it’s still running.
I started when I was around 15 in 2002.
I built a NAS with Slackware out of an old PC. Then came more, and more, and more. I built NASes for other people. I upgraded hardware, made mistakes, tried other software, learned a lot.
20 years later, here I am.
Data hoarding isn’t about how much storage you have or what kind of server(s), it’s about the thirst to accumulate data and, hopefully, do something interesting with it. A raspberry pi with an SSD over USB is just as valid as me, using a cluster distributed filesystem over 4 commodity servers in my home lab.
My only recommendation is to properly back up anything you would miss (even if it’s just a little) because losing irreplaceable data is really sad and that’s a situation I hope everyone can avoid.
I made the same move. Mullvad is still fantastic but Proton is also fantastic and works just as well for my purposes.
I’ve made a lot of “interesting” decisions and some things were silly, some things worked out, some things I needed to fix.
I’ve been self-hosting for a long time. Before commodity virtualization (let alone containers)… As technology improves, one must adapt and that often involves rebuilding, migrating, retiring software.
My only regret is the data I’ve lost from insufficient backups. Everything else is part of the fun, part of the experience.
