  • Suing companies for not advertising on a platform For Nazis, By Nazis™. 🤡

  • For sure, if the need calls for it, that works well.

    But looking for random things to install and maintain without an actual need creates so many issues.

  • 100%. When it comes to self-hosting, or anything really, be a minimalist. For your sake, and for the sake of whoever might need to maintain things when you've leave this earth.

  • Deepseek’s massive efficiency improvement ought to improve profitability

    Depends on if you're the AI provider, or the user.

    For institutions that had to pay massive fees to use cloud-based AI services, now they might be able to pull it off in house or with far less costs involved. It will save money.

    For those selling AI, it'll get very competitive, and they can't charge hundreds or thousands of dollars anymore. It will be less profitable or not at all.

    AI was already unprofitable

    And the silver lining was that all those American companies wasted hundreds of millions, if not, billions on developing the tech. Good for them for wasting all that money.

    And good for China for making Deepseek open source as an added "fuck you" to AI capitalists.

  • If something ceases to be profitable, it gets no attention from corporations.

    Even something as simple as Deepseek replacing subscription services would tank these corporations who are banking on those fees.

  • Good, I hope this is how the AI industry dies.

  • OK, I'm going to give this another look!

  • What couldn’t you get working?

    It was erroring out when I tried to set up either Webdav or SMB. Maybe I was setting it up wrong, but I've got those things set up on multiple devices and multiple apps without any trouble.

  • But does it cache, or only stream?

  • Terrorists win.

  • Kind of frustrating that Seagate is the only company to have multiple drives with ZERO failures, but then that 12TB model with over 12% failure... ouch.

    That said, I've been on Team Seagate IronWolf for years without issues.

  • My idrive plan went from just over $100 to $250.

    I created another account, paid for another year at a promotional price, and then deleted my old account.

    I will eventually have to come up with a more sustainable cloud/off site backup now that i need more than just a few TB.

    Since this is really my "last resort" backup, I'm not too concerned, as anything that would require me to actually restore from this backup set would likely be catastrophic in a life-ending way.

  • Don't try to fall asleep.

    The effort is what's keeping you awake. Sleep when you feel tired.

    If you don't feel tired at night, then you may not be doing enough mental or physically engaging activities during the day.

  • If you're an Italian soccer fan, this one should give you a good laugh.

  • I keep it simple: steamed in a microwave + lemon juice.

  • It seems like way more work to go out to get fast food than to pop something in the microwave, instant pot, air frier, or to pull something out of the fridge.

    You can put together some pretty cheap, easy, healthy meals with maybe 1-2 minutes of actual prep work. It may not be obvious, but search and you will find. 👌

  • FressRSS gave me a UI I was looking for on both mobile and desktop, and it "just works".

    My only complaint, and I'm sure this isn't a feature found anywhere, is that I wish you could actually delete an article, not just "archive it". Some of the stuff that gets through on RSS is unfiltered NSFW crap, and I really would rather not have that on my home server!

  • For me, it's screenshots.

    I can't even count how many self-hosted or open source projects I've wanted to check out, and the project page is just text.

    If I don't know exactly what I'm getting into in the first 10 seconds, I'm onto something else, especially when it's something heavily based on UI/UX with frequent interaction.

    EDIT: Also, I'm a fan of docker apps to run off my Synology NAS, but it better come with step-by-step instructions, or I won't bother. There are some good resources for detailed instructions for various self-hosted/NAS/docker related content, but it's nice when a project actually has this in their documentation.

  • In Texas, owning more dildos than guns is a crime. Probably.
