  • If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting?

  • Bravo! CosmOS does look pretty nice. If I had better hardware, I might try something like that. Right now I'm using Fedora Server because of the SELinux, copilot, and podman support out of the box.

    I've noticed that, too, about the community. I think part of the reason for the friendliness is a desire to see the community grow. Self-hosting feels very grassroots.

  • Is it bad that whenever I see these types of alarmist posts, I respond with "Happy Great Replacement!"?

  • I get what you're saying, and I know you're asking in good faith, but I feel that it's going in the wrong direction. Voter fraud is not a common issue in the US; voter suppression is: voter roll purges, voter intimidation (like ICE at voting precincts), voting restrictions based on demographics, lack of a federal voting holiday(s), etc. Basically, voting is more secure than it is available.

  • Ooh, that is very cool! Do you think an rPi Zero could run Traccar? Mine is just collecting dust after I pulled it off my network because it couldn't handle pihole traffic.

  • I guess that allure of rugged individualism attracts a lot of MAGA types to trades and small businesses. It's been the opposite in education on the teachers' side, but definitely adversarial with MAGA on the students' and parents' side. I used to teach current events, but I haven't been able to do that for the last 10 years. Kids would find their way into your personal accounts, too, so I switched to federated platforms instead.

  • ...get back ownership of my materials...

    Yes, that was a red flag for me. Ever have your materials "removed?" I once lost a few Kindle books because Amazon pulled them off the shelves. After that, I learned how to strip DRM off the books and save them offline.

    Ditto about the notes. Are you using any specific apps to edit them? I'm just using nvim with markdown plugins.

  • Piracy, basically.

    Lol, you don't say? Do you use something like Jellyseerr for requests?

  • Immich is fantastic. I'd been using Nextcloud for photos, but, like many monolithic software suites, it lacks many features. I'd also been using Spotify for notifications, but I've abandoned it and ran to Matrix. I'll have to try ntfy.

    HomeAssistant can be great, though it does require some yaml-fu for notifications and such. At one point I had it use TTS for notifications.

  • Dude, yes! Subscriptions are a scam. They hold your downloads at ransom.

  • This feels like the road I took. Subscription services are a scam, and I can't trust sharing personal data on somebody else's hardware. Eventually I'd like to host instances for federated services I already use.

  • Damn, got shot down, lol. I'm not advocating for churning out assignments; just for tinkering with editing and brainstorming. "Actually learning and doing things" is admirable. I'd rather be certain a student is growing instead of the clanker.

  • Went back to play with dwm

    Jump

  • Thanks! That's the tab bar. The icons are minimized because of the window's size, but you can see the icons when the window is maximized. It also allows mouse scrolling.

  • Yeah, there's always a child-like fascination with technology. Do you ever feel like making it a career would've taken the joy out of it? My bro is IT and it somewhat did for him.

  • Hey, hosting your own LLM could work out for you in that respect.

  • Sorry to hear. On the upside, no one will be upset when the server goes down.

  • That's the way to go! I'm sure you didn't want to go back to Windows after a while. That was the start for me, too, back with Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope.
