Wow a differentiated opinion on AI use :)

We still say that.

Same. They are great.
- Comment on I built a self-hosted period tracker because I couldn't find one worth using 5 days ago:
Imagine you are on the ground under your car and need a different tool. You ask for it and somebody hands it to you. That person is young and inexperienced. It is up to You to check if it’s the right tool, and if not pass it back (and in this example tell the person about the error and help them correct it).
And sure, You can always crawl out and get the tool yourself and sometimes that is the only option and in coding terms in my opinion best practice. But you can be faster with your helper. Use it appropriately and see how it affects your work. And that’s the point, your work. Don’t pass responsibility or thought off to AI.

Absolutely necessary to do more than voting with your wallet. Fascism is on the rise everywhere and we as societies need to actively engage with it and provide working alternative structures to prevent people to be drawn towards it.

While I agree with You that there is always a compromise regarding privacy and participation. But you can always take steps to reduce that delta between reality and ideal by optimizing things.

I just looked it up and pangolin is based in the us. Since it’s selfhosted the impact is little but if a government turns bad (and theirs has) it poses a risk. Even if it’s open source I don’t read the code and verify every update. Hmm

Had the same question since I am running pangolin

Network architecture
- Comment on Free and open source Audiobookshelf Android client 5 days ago:
Is a different issue and I agree with you that I wouldn’t just install this.
- Comment on Free and open source Audiobookshelf Android client 5 days ago:
Try obtanium if you want to automate updates, otherwise just download the APK and open the file.
- Comment on Free and open source Audiobookshelf Android client 5 days ago:
Thanks for your work!
That being said they will hate it. If any ai Ia involved they will dismiss not only it but you and it’s a really irritating habit that is starting to emerge.

Hi, don’t mind the people hating on AI. Doesn’t matter if You use it as a tool to enhance your workflow without just blindly copying code. And it seems Ou so a lot of checking and thinking after the fact.
But those aspects don’t matter to people that have a fixed mindset and are convinced they are right and everyone doing it differently is wrong ( I think there is a name for that kind of condition…). You are vibe coding therefore you are stupid and need to either see the light or be buried. They are not rude, they are just trying to make you see the light! It’s always the same conversation. First downvotes, dismissive or outright rude comments and then you engage and try to have a civil conversation about something specific and then the goalposts start to move.
I get why some people have a radical position on AI but they need to learn that there are other positions too.
Yes AI is resource hungry but at the same time they are not vegetarians or vegans and drive a car and fly for holidays. Calculate them apples (emissions).
You made something you are proud of, you made it for yourself and you wanted to show and tell. Good on you! They are just bullies.

I dunno what you mean :))
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 5 days ago:
Maybe the online features of Xbox like multiplayer and such are going to be a factor in people wanting to stay. Network effect …

Damn. That study is toasted.
- Comment on Netbird is king. 5 days ago:
Shout-out for pangolin. Betbird looks interesting too!
- Comment on Some questions about how to structure my self-hosting 6 days ago:
For a reverse proxy I can recommend pangolin. Single sign on, pin password and also private services that you can access via a tail scale betbird like app.
- Comment on Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files? 1 week ago:
I dont understand what you mean. As in that client a can dump files, go offline and client b can go onlineel and sync these files afterwards?
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 1 week ago:
Hmm. Assuming you have some small hydrazine or whatever booster you could maintain a low orbit for a while. But yes not endlessly. That bring said there is a middle ground between 400km and 34000km that might provide for a good orbit and acceptable ping. That all depends on the application of course.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 1 week ago:
Servers get replaced that often because they are using too much energy for too little computing power compared to newer generations. If the module is already up there and functioning and energy is free then it’s a whole different thing.
Defects are another topic.
And the whole thing is obviously crazy for a whole lot of other reasons.

Not trying to be an asshole, just giving info: the radiation shielding on earth is achieved (mostly?) by the magnetic field that diverts the big particle cannon ammunition.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 1 week ago:
No, that works well with Starlink for example. But only because it’s in low earth orbit. In geostationary orbit You do in fact have a horrible ping.
Not being familiar with the details of this Elon brain fart I would hope they didn’t aim for geostationary… Because why?? Then again who knows with that idiot.
- Comment on What us the best way to add remote access to my servers? 1 week ago:
I switched from tail scale to pangolin for reverse proxy. Does everything. Auth, VPN, hidden services, public services. Fantastic piece of software

I was looking for a way to stream to sonos, an I just blind or is it not implemented?

Don’t know if this fits for your use case but I am in love with pangolin.
- Comment on How bad of an idea is it to use computing HDDs in a DIY NAS? 2 weeks ago:
Pcie is ridiculously fast. I think you will have a hard time making out even a 1x pcie 4.0 slot with hdds. It can do 1.9 gbytes per second.

This developed further. Better be done with it and stay safe. Read the linked reddit thread for info.

That sounds like you are on it! Let us know where land.
So far this is nothing id consider as evidence but as plausible speculation. Not necessarily wrong but … It’s not enough for me to put my money on it.
