Literally just having ollama installed and some models that work well with the amount of VRAM I have. I don’t auto-start the daemon because I rarely use it. Occasionally I use it for proof-reading/feedback on things like cover letters, or debugging. I don’t let it write anything. If it has something useful to say it can tell me in the chat and I can implement it if it’s good. Usually I don’t need it though so it just sits on my disk for the most part.

Wow, this article really reads as LLM-generated to me. The quoted section with the “We won’t pretend otherwise:”, the second paragraph in:

This post isn’t about how to update. It’s about how these vulnerabilities were found and fixed, what has changed in how PHP security is handled over the past two years, and what we need from the organizations that depend on PHP to keep PHP’s security work going.

Could they not be bothered to write a write-up about such a critical severity?

Yes, it can be a bit involved. I’d say I can spin up a mail server in 1–2 days though provided the OS is already installed and I have a domain name and port 25 isn’t blocked (that’s the main one that tends to be blocked). It may take longer for people who aren’t familiar with mail servers but it’s not some huge operation.

You can just try spinning up a mail server for fun. If it goes badly then just don’t move over your dentist appointments to it. It’s only critical infra if you use it for critical things, which you probably shouldn’t till it’s stable.

I self-host my own email, have done so for years. I’ve not gotten pwned. Use an SSH key and a firewall, only expose the ports that should be public, have reasonable access controls, etc, just practise general cybersecurity—it applies to servers too.

I know everyone complains about hosting email. But I’ve not run into major problems. My emails get through spam filters and I have good uptime. It’s also a fun learning experience.

Yes, I’m not an IT professional and don’t have education in anything related to computers. Has always been a hobby for me. I don’t want to do my hobbies for work because I fear it would take the fun out.

This is just an archive. No different from using the wayback machine or any other archive of web content.

Idk about Immich but Vaultwarden is just a Cargo project no? Cargo statically links crates by default but I think can be configured to do dynamic linking too. The Rust ecosystem seems to favour static linking in general just by convention.
