You’re not wrong. But save some love for Udbhav Tiwari

What time zone?

While I agree that copilot is AI slop garbage, this article is kinda rage baiting… Like, who gives a fuck if they redesign the UI… It’s what they do every few years. This isn’t about copilot replacing edge. It’s not even about microslop adding more AI to the browser (although they probably will). This is specifically about a new design language. Take the AI out of the equation and the redesign isn’t all that controversial.

Totally agree. The docs don’t talk back and can’t clarify specifics or uncertainty. I always read the docs first (probably should have noted that in my first comment), but often I’d have specific questions or concerns regarding unintended affects on other services on my sever etc.

I’d never JUST run with AI to set something up. But it’s like having someone sit with you who knows what they’re doing, but dont know anything about your existing setup. So asking questions while also explaining my current setup, and pasting in and errors or warnings, is what made it useful for me.

I know some people think you should just learn from docs alone. That’s fine. My anecdotal comment was only highlighting how I was finally able to do something outside my knowledge and skillset because I had specific contextual help from AI.

I did both 🙏

I started my self hosting journey a bit over a year ago. Now I host and maintain multiple services for me and my family. 1000% absolutely could not have set it all up without ChatGPT. Just no way.

Thing is, I’m not a computer beginner. I’d confidently say I’m a moderately advanced computer user with a decent understanding of Linux/BSD and POSIX shell. I used ChatGPT to learn how to set things up gradually. Yes, things did break a couple of times and I spent a few late nights fixing them, but I never ran commands that I knew were irreversible until I fully understood what they did. This cautiousness comes with experience.

So, unlike many, I do encourage the use of ChatGPT for assisting with computer related projects, just know your abilities and don’t trust the robot unconditionally.

XMPP FTW

I’m self hosting my own xmpp server. Feels good.

The UK is really battling to knock the US of the top of the fuckedest country list ain’t it

Same bro, just became a supporter myself. Worth every dollar!

Yeah Android. Desktop client (Linux flatpak) was working late into the night too. I haven’t checked again today though… will test when I get home from work

Grayjay still works

I’ll suggest you look into tailscale. It makes the process a whole lot easier

I’m starting (a little late) to build my music library this way too. I self host jellyfin , for which there are some nice music players. But, I still have my Spotify account currently while I gradually build my personal library. I’ll admit tho, I will miss the algorithm and artist suggestions

I’ve seen a few of these lately, and it’s always a nice reminder that I’m doing things right!

But can we please give immich more love!?

I’m sure ente photos is great, but more love for the self hosted options like immich, nextcloud, Standard Notes, Jellyfin etc.

I’d probably recommend bitwarden over 1password. Or better yet, keepassXC

Standard notes is. It’s also easily self hosted.

Another +1 for posteo!

Although, I actually use both posteo and tuta in combination with anonaddy
