Why would someone ask a person to explain an AI response they didn’t understand? Like, you’ve already offloaded the most important part from a human brain (getting a fucking answer)… Why wouldn’t you at least then ASK THE AI TO REPHRASE AND SUMMARIZE the response you didn’t understand? That’s the thing it’s actually good at doing ffs.
I set this up before but ended up walking away. It works well but it always eats CPU generating the stream, which is a bummer if I’m the only user and not necessarily even going to use it once a day.
There’s a large group of folks here that swear by renting a VPS. A common argument is that when you fully self host and expose anything to the internet (incoming connections), you’ve always got some security risk you might not know exists.
A VPS offloads a lot of the low level security concerns to someone else (it’s the whole cloud sales pitch) and if someone breaks in, there’s little for them to steal (assuming you’re not putting anything personal and sensitive on the VPS).
The nice thing is that you can start with a small and cheap VPS and set things up and decide if you even want to self host, or to what extent. Then you have data to make a decision as to whether you need to upgrade to a better VPS, or port your setup to a local server (which you can now buy with a good idea of what sort of specs it should have).
On the flip side, you could also self host on whatever computer you have laying around (leave the laptop open) and play with some services there. If you decide you want to open it to the internet, you could just as easily port your local playground to a VPS and keep going.
I don’t think there’s anything in the self hosting world that really paints you into a corner.

All the evidence for this comes from a linked article that says only
To add to the drama, a wild rumour, and I stress rumour, is doing the rounds in San Francisco: some Anthropic engineers have begun to worship Claude.
Can we really get nothing more substantive than that?
They’re not moving, so you need to yell “GO!” until they start.
Should have been:
“Shut up Wesley”
“Shut up Wesley?”
“Shut up, Wesley”
And Canada showed him that’s an acceptable negotiating strategy when they caved to his last-minute demands to change the agreement on the Gordon Howe bridge.
We’ll see how long Carney sticks to his guns this time, but I’m not optimistic.
I think of how many guards across Skyrim used to be an adventurer before they took an arrow to the knee, and think LLM output would be an improvement there.
Let the writers write the stories and quests. I am far less attached to what random background NPCs have to say, but it’s nice they’d say something.
Which password manager? I had the same problem with BitWarden until I found a buried setting to tweak each password domain. Maybe there’s a badly advertised feature in yours, too?
I run everything in docker. My docker volumes are all subdirectories under /media, which is the root of my NAS. If an app only needs something specific, docker only mounts, eg /media/movies. If the app needs many subdirectories (like backups), it gets the full /media mount.
All the docker data/configs are under /docker/volumes (eg /docker/volumes/jellyfin), and every container is configured with compose in /docker/docker-compose.yml.
The biggest hurdle for me was creating a sane docker-compose file that defines where everything lives. Once that is standardized, adding and maintaining your apps becomes easy.
If you’re very new to this, even a dumb LLM like ChatGPT can be very helpful to explain what’s inconsistent, redundant, or incorrect with your config. If you are lost I would strongly suggest this as a way to get oriented. But DO NOT copy and paste anything into the LLM containing passwords, tokens, keys, etc. if you accident do, change those keys before finishing up your project.
With docker there’s no duplication- you have one copy of everything you need and you just point each container at the same data. This makes it trivial to keep file consistent across your apps and doesn’t waste space.

The LubeLogger meltdown ticket is pretty goddamn funny.
OH SHIT THEY’RE DOING MATH IN THERE
Fileflows can probably be configured to do this. I only use it to convert everything to HEVC but it’s a node based workflow and you could roll in renaming and tagging.
Itemized invoice would be killer! There’d have to be an item called “pure profit”, shining some light on their greed.
I was told this would take decades or centuries. Why the fuck is he speed running it?
