I run Akkoma, Navidrome, Searx, valutwarden, RomM, Forgejo, wireguard, RDP, and a few other things all via docker. Honestly I just keep everything in their own dir and just have Yazi on my server to make it easier to manage. I don’t auto update anything, it’s all manual updates.

I’m probably going to slap Watchtower in there to just make things easier. don’t really need to over think it in all honesty.

I host my own Akkoma instance and it’s great. easier to set up than Mastodon, more light weight, etc. Only downside is the UI is a bit of a cluster and you really need to do some editing to make it look decent. Haven’t had any issues interacting with anyone on Mastodon and what have you.

OR they could grow a spine and actually back up the shit they claim to advocate for. You can simply geoblock that area/state/country and state to your users there that you value free speech and you won’t bend the whims of a authoritarian government. Let the people who are now being denied a service complain and get it changed. Other companies have done this most recently Imgur.

For a company to immediately bend the knee and institute ID checks doesn’t fly right with me. They’re stating that they are more than willing to change their policies at the whim of whatever government body. Also they are more than happy to start collecting MORE data on users to then do god knows what with. How do I know Bluesky isn’t going to sell said data they’ve obtained? how do I know how secure my ID is with them? And I do have to question their motivations when they consistently, immediately, agree to collect data on their users this way. Bluesky is essentially still a start up and they need funding, what better way to get more cash flowing in then harvesting their users data?

I wouldn’t trust Bluesky as far as I could throw them.

I know when I tried to sign up with Herztwhatever, the other popular European one, they wanted my ID and I said no way. but yeah OVH has never once asked for mine.

really? I never had to do that. They’ve left me alone since I originally signed up with them.

I have OVH for dedicated but I’ve also used their VPS and they’re great. They leave me alone, don’t hound me for anything, cheap prices, reliable as I’ve never had issues them. can’t complain. They’re Euro based but they have servers near me in Montreal so I use that which is great when I put my VPN on there cause now I get student discounts everywhere since my server is at McGill University.

yeah I know I just thought i’d be funny for people to be cloning and pushing a bunch of porn repos and then throwing their “personal” stash into .gitignores

yeah because when I want to be social or check out porn github is the first place that pops to mind.

Although…now that I think about it…doing git clone on a porn repo would be convenient. could even easily update it. hm…Actually I think Australia might be on to something here

yeah and boomers were saying the same about us when we were watching a squirrel singing about “Gonads and strife” or a badly translated Sega Genesis game claiming “All your base are belong to us”

ALL generations watch dumb shit, stop acting like this ONE generation suddenly originated dumb shit to watch.

the hell are they going to train it on? jerking itself off? cause that’s all it’s going to “learn” if it trains on Linkedin profiles and posts.

It’s just going to slurp up a bunch of tech bros posts that think AI is the second coming. it’s just going to learn that it thinks it’s hot shit when it’s not.

glad I use NixOS in all honesty.

Well ends up there’s a nixos package for it so I gave it a shot, been using it for the last couple days. I dig it more than Feishin so I switched to it. it’s not bad, pretty good.

they’ve already made their money, you’re fine. you don’t need to support them as they’ve already been paid. Most creators for films and tv shows have already been paid.

Music artists, indie game devs, etc support them instead. Most musicians aren’t getting million dollar contracts, hell most don’t even get a few grand contract and any album sales or whatever fractions of a penny they make from music streaming sites go to the record label anyways. But their merch, go to their concerts as that’s where artists make their money.

I might, but I don’t have any issues with Feishin so unless it does something way better than I’m happy with what I have.

tried it, but the appimage would just constantly break for whatever reason. just wouldn’t load half the time.

Switched to Feishin for my navidrome server and prefer it, simple and clean.

nope, I use feishin with my navidrome server and it works great. zero issues at all.

it’s an odd series for sure. I did enjoy the last season purely for the Enterprise-D returning. But still it’s weird how they kinda just tossed Wes aside as if he didn’t exist because THIS Crusher son was “WAY more important”. It’s like hey Beverly, you have another kid. one who at this point is WAY more powerful than your hybrid Borg thingy Son.

what an odd place to start…I absolutely respect it!

I have a private instance of Forgejo in docker on my server. took me all of 5 minutes to set up. I did this only because I wanted a web based GUI for some stuff.

it’s true that it has gotten better with sources. However remember the context of the conversation? much worse. But I can see the direction OpenAI is trying to take it. short one off responses/solutions with little followup.

It is better than Claude though. Claude will just make stuff up or say EVERYTHING is a “known issue” when it isn’t.
