Already planning on them adding Rustdesk in case of issues in the future actually 😅

I know it doesn’t need hourly updates but something that relies on other data (in this case LLMs) probably needs yearly updates at the very least to ensure better compatibility with newer models.

It’s a good reference guide, yes, but it’s not good for beginners. The linked TRaSH guide seems better but I think are still a lot.

The issue I’ve found when searching for resources for them is that there’s really no guide me for people who know very little but want to do this and guides them in the proper steps from beginning to end. I have an IT degree and even I remember struggling a little bit when I first delved into self hosting because I never really studied networking, and networking feels like a different field entirely. Right now self hosting in general reminds me of the early days of Slackware (maybe even SLS) Linux (for those that remember) - you kind of have to ask around and figure things out on your own through a bunch of lookup.

I’m trying to ease the friction a little bit for those that want too start, and want to see if an LLM that can quickly define some words and tell you not only where to start but the steps after that based on your skill/knowledge level can ease some of that friction.

At least until one day self hosting becomes about as easy as modern Linux.

I asked mostly because I haven’t seen any guides like that. The long video guides are also usually outdated or a very specific method that’s more advanced (like bare metal setup or using ignition)

My plan was to lead them through something like what I use which is base Debian using Dockge and a reverse proxy (though I’m looking into KDE Plasma BigScreen). I think they might be able to figure it out with help and some general written instructions and the AI for further questions.

Is GPT4all still up to date though? I see the last release was in 2024

Any step-by-step text guides you’d recommend? They’re not exactly tech beginners, but they’re also not quite knowledgeable yet. I guided them through Linux install but they use Bazzite and mostly stick to Bazaar on it for any programs they need.

And the Arr Stack, and KitchenOwl, and LibreCloset. They also want something for YouTube, but haven’t decided what they might like the most yet - was thinking of testing KDE’s new Plasma BigScreen and seeing how Waydroid does at running S-tube.

If that worked well enough, then I’d probably try setting them up with that

I have the Alpaca Flatpak, can I set this up in that or is Ollama better? I’m running on Debian

Wait it has built in reverse proxy?

Nice! Maybe I’ll try the beta. Been wanting to tinker around with my set up recently

Does it work with a reverse proxy?

I’m the bottom right 😅

It’s a good thing he didn’t get nukes

Haven’t tried it myself but can you run Nginx or Traefik in it, or would it give issues connecting to other containers?

You didn’t count eating times or something like a shower. So he either also smoked while eating or while showering, or never went without a cigarette

What’s wrong with kittygram? How’s that any weirder then say Pringles? Like what the heck is a “Pringle” anyway? A potato tingle?

Coca-cola literally has the reference to Cocaine in it. In Spanish it’s even weirder because Coca is actually the slang word for Cocaine, so it basically says “Cocaine Tail”.

And Facebook??? A face that’s a book???

There’s plenty of extremely weird words you use or see daily. You’ve just been brainwashed to see them as normal because you’ve been marketed to about them since birth essentially.

If you heard of kittygram since you were 7, and saw kittygram ads constantly growing up, you wouldn’t so much as blink about the name.

Alternately, maybe a combo solar/wind power tower it could be…

I see he’s afraid of a second Luigi

I like it. It’s nostalgic, in a 90s sort of way 😂

Sometimes I assume the mods delete them because no one answered
