I can absolutely see it getting useful for a pro. It’s already a better version of IDE templates. If you have to write boilerplate code this can already do that. It’s a huge time saver for the things you’d have to go look up to remember how to do and piece together yourself.

Example: today I wanted a quick way to serve my current working directory over HTTP so I could do some quick web work. I asked ChatGPT to write me a bash function I could stick in my profile to do this, and I told it to pick a random unused port. That would have taken me much longer had I went to lookup how to do that all. The only hint I gave it was to use the Python builtin module for serving http.

The Python script looks very promising in going to play around with that. Thanks.

You can do this with Tailscale. Added plus is you can then use Tailscale on you phone to access your pihole for DNS when on the go.

Right, this is exactly what I was saying. Plausible deniability because you know you’re not going to be able to fight to protect the data when they come knocking.

If your concern for wanting to self host is that you’re concerned your government might attempt to access that data, then you should also assume they could get a warrant for that data and force you to decrypt it if it were encrypted at rest on a machine in your home.

Take a look at Tailscale. You can probably do what you want using that and basically any router out there since it’s zero-config in the router, you’re hardware independent.

Can you elaborate? Any links you can point to that explains more? I’ve always wondered how that all worked. Seems like there way more human involvement than there probably should be for something which seems like it should be as simple as sending an RPC…

Elden Ring. I had never played a FromSoft game before so I really had no idea what I was getting into. I played through it seven times with my main character, got the platinum trophy, and then spun up a new character on my sons playstation account to platinum it for him as well.

Definitely got value for my money on that purchase.
