That's a petty troll response to a legitimate statement of what someone wants (which aligns with this group's stated focus), where they aren't claiming what they have done
It's not trolling at all. You stated you got into self hosting because you wanted opensource and you want to retain all of your data. I'm asking you to share your homelab set up. A lot of people would be genuinely interested. The point being, all the gnashing of teeth is a duplicitous argument. If you truly do as you stated, then I'm wondering how you search a global internet from your homelab that indexes it all.
There's no respect in that statement and thats not appropriate here. Lets calm it down and keep it a discussion, not aggression and attacks.
That's fair, thanks for cleaning up the mess and sorry for being part of it.
No worries, everyone gets caught up sometimes even me. Thats why its just a bunch of removals.
Thanks for letting me and everyone else know you're childish and stupid enough to be worth blocking.
Kind for kind.
good job friend. very grown up
