I repurpose old PCs, not the most power efficient, or convenient form factor, but I can put a ton of drives in without a second thought, and the hardware is free to me.
I used Freenas for a while til I wanted more flexibility, then Proxmox for a long time with everything on separate VMs, but as my services became set I eventually swapped everything onto a plain Debian install.
I use Syncthing instead of a real cloud sharing option. I'm home every night, and it can grab different folders easily, and 'sorts' stuff for me.
I like Docker containers for nearly everything else. I particularly like the Wireguard-easy container project on github, and that's currently the only hole in my firewall.
My kids like having navidrome for music, I like Jellyfin myself. And I tend to get carried away since I've got a whole PCs hardware to play with so I spin containers up and down just to play sometimes. I've had Orcaslicer in one before, accessible to the network, lol.
Gotta be Mountain Dew, it's green.
All them crooked letters made some crooked folks.
If I can't smell it, I'm going to assume you washed it.
Hmm, support someone doing something cool or tear down something I don't understand?
Only one option, it's the American way.
Nah, I'm less inclined to trust a businessman even in economics than a scientist. We've been inundated for years about how college just brainwashes kids, but the only ones I see consistently producing samethink are business and law schools. I say that's where the brainwashing is, wiping out their empathy and humanity for the love of a dollar.
Webrings are staging a comeback!
Do we even want most PhDs in academia?
Oh kid, you tried, that need to get the last word gave you away. Go look those words up before you start slinging them around. Look up irony too.
Yours would have us using bones as clubs.
You're right, they're not mutually exclusive words, but I'm going to thoroughly disagree that people are talking about those specific companies when talking about AI as a technology, which we certainly are here.
You might not like the product that is Claude or whoever, but I don't like Irwin hammers, doesn't mean it's not an effective tool. And it doesn't stop the world from utilizing it. And it doesn't automatically make the job any less correct.
No one is out here trying to have the AI be their OS, they're using it to build things, so the house thing isnt any better. Keeping those teens off the jobsite is only going to stop that house, not the industry. You don't want to live in it, that's fine, but that doesn't mean it's not going to be exactly what someone else needs. And those kids did get some experience, even if its just the walls falling down around their ears. Next one will be better.
Would it be ideal if everything was inherently safer and more thoroughly understood by the masses? Yes. Is it a reality that is achievable?
