The hell? This is the third post like this you've made in an hour
They're using AI for a lot of their posts as well.
Another user to block to keep the feed clean :)
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 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.
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.
