- Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 1 month ago:
I think looking through the comments on this post about AI stuff is a pretty good representation of my experience on lemmy. Definitely some opinions, but most people are pretty reasonable 🙂
- Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 1 month ago:
Ya exactly! Or just sanity checking if you understand how something works, I use it a lot for that, or trying to fill in knowledge gaps.
Also qwen3 is out, check that out, it might fit on a 1060.

I see a mix, don’t get me wrong, Lemmy is definitely opinionated lol, but I don’t think it’s quite black and white.
Also, generally, I’m not going to not share my thoughts or opinions because I’m afraid of people that don’t understand nuance, sometimes I don’t feel like dealing with it, but I’m going to share my opinion most of the time.
OP asked what you self host that isn’t media, self hosted LLMs is something I find very useful and I didn’t see mentioned. Home assistant, pihole, etc, all great answers… But those were already mentioned.
I still have positive upvotes on that comment, and no one has flamed me yet, but we will see.
- Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 1 month ago:
I think most people on here are reasonable, and I think local LLMs are reasonable.
The race to AGI and companies trying to shove “AI” into everything is kind of insane, but it’s hard to deny LLMs are useful and running them locally you dont have privacy concerns.
- Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 1 month ago:
Local LLMs, I’m surprised no one brought that up yet. I’ve got an old GPU in my server, and I’m running some local models with openweb-ui for use in the browser and Maid for an Android app to connect to it.
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 1 month ago:
We need laws restricting advertising
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 1 month ago:
Definitely. AR has a lot of potential, also could go sideways and have ads shoved in your peripheral view all the time too.
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 1 month ago:
Health bar, bank account balance, number of steps in the day, calories burned, my next calendar event

I want a GTA style HUD at all times 🤪

Ads should be illegal

Judging by the picture I’m sure it is

It probably is

Oof this is too accurate
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 2 months ago:
I’ve never done dev for apple stuff, but I think it’s probably just not that friendly with more open/cross platform frameworks
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 2 months ago:
Ya I don’t think it’s supported on the apple tv app. Damn.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 2 months ago:
Damn ok that sucks it doesn’t seem available on the client for apple tv.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 2 months ago:
Maybe, i haven’t seen it yet though
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 2 months ago:
The only feature I want that jellyfin doesn’t have (or I haven’t found it) is shuffle. Throwing on how it’s made or mythbusters on shuffle is great background stuff.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 2 months ago:
Ya probably not. I guess we may see

Ya, I don’t think Vance would accomplish much, he definitely doesn’t have the same charisma or followers.
True, things would definitely get interesting if the US wasn’t the top power. You don’t think China and Russia would team up? Or you think thats only because “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”?

Trump could have a heart attack tomorrow
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 2 months ago:
They are browser based, their whole UI and much of the in car backend is a JavaScript.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 months ago:
Ya… I think that’s a really good point, a scary one
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 months ago:
I think the reason more people haven’t started to openly organize is mostly concerns about self preservation. This govt obviously doesn’t care about civil liberties and are openly calling anyone not with them “the enemy”. It becomes much harder to publicly and civily organize if there is a substantial chance you’ll be branded a terrorist organization. That’s obviously just my take from my perspective.

Absolutely, this is great. Knowledgeable people being reasonable.

Where in the article did it say that? Did you read the article?
- Comment on What host names do you use? 3 months ago:
All my personal devices are named “AHE”+n. So the abbreviation for “at heart engineer”+ a letter signifying the device. So my phone is “AHEM”, my laptop is “AHEL”, my desktop is “aheo” (O for office), my server is “ahes”.

I cancelled mine recently and will actively try to avoid using it. They also need competition.
