Lmao it’s an LLM for real.
Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure
h333d@lemmy.world 1 day agoSlow down, guy. You’re spiraling.
I’m a former tech support guy who worked for a muncipal fiber network and spent 5 years volunteering with seniors. If my writing sounds “structured,” it’s because I’ve spent my entire adult life explaining complex tech to people who didn’t grow up with it. You learn to use bullet points and clear if/then logic because that’s how you get people to actually understand things.
And the fed accusation? Think about it for two seconds. If I were a government agent trying to collect data, why on earth would I be telling people to move their passwords to a local Vaultwarden instance and their photos to an encrypted Immich box behind a Tailscale VPN? That’s literally the opposite of data collection lmao

Your post is CLEARLY written by AI. Your responses aren’t. So you’re being deceptive.
Your posting in a self-hosted community, preaching self-hosting to people who already do it. You could very well be trying to identify people who hold more unusual views about technology and harbor anti-governemnt sentiments. You think people here are stupid? You’re clearly a liar and probably working for someone. No one lies like that without an agenda.

You caught me. My “malicious agenda” is… convincing people to use encryption and local storage so that no one (not Google, not the feds, and certainly not me) can see their data.
Think about the logic for a second. If I’m a “government actor” trying to find people with “anti-government sentiments,” why would I come to a sub literally dedicated to digital sovereignty? That’s like a cop going to a shooting range to find people who own guns. Everyone here already fits your description. I’m not “preaching” to find new people; I’m here because this community has the skills to actually build the alternatives we need.
As for the AI post/Human response thing: I wrote a long, structured post because I wanted it to be a manifest, not a chat log. My responses are shorter because I’m now typing them on my phone while reading people call me a bot.
If you’re so worried about me being a “liar with an agenda,” then don’t trust me. Trust the code. Go install CasaOS, pull the Immich image from GitHub, audit the source if you have the skills, and run it on a machine with no phone home. That’s the whole point of self-hosting. Even if I were the shadiest person on earth, the software I’m recommending is designed so that it doesn’t matter who I am.
Now, can we get back to the actual work?
