The hell? This is the third post like this you've made in an hour
I started running everything I could, but found the upkeep a pain. Didnt use most of it.
So I now only keep hosted stuff I use, if I don't access it once it's running then it goes in the bin.
WAF has consistently held me down to earth. "What will that enable you to acheive that you can't do already?" With a couple mini pcs and a rpi I'm good. I'd love shiny things, but beyond LLMs there's not much it would enable me to achieve that I can't already.
That, and other hobbies. I don't want to be an amateur system admin during the summer. So all winter long, while I'm tinkering, I'm adding up how much it adds to my maintenance schedule.
I mean, at one time I went a bit overboard, but now, not so much, With newer technology happening, you don't really need a lot to accomplish a lot.
