- Comment on Can local LLMs be as useful and insightful as those widely available? 1 week ago:
The self hosted community is probably the worst place you could ask about something while ruling out “privacy and tinkering”. Those words might as well be the motto here.

But they’re quests

I just want to make sure you notice it says “encrypted messaging” meaning matrix as a service, as opposed to “encrypted messages”, meaning selling your messages.
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately if you take alternatives out of the running you’re kind of just left with impotent rage against one of the biggest companies in the world and their shareholders.
Why would Microsoft ever care about some mildly upset users on Lemmy when they know said users are locked into their product for life?

I also learned that one today…

Is the pei build plate in need of rejuvenation by chance?
I’m not a very active printer, but everything I’ve seen about you printing on pei sheets suggests that it sticks too well - oftentimes ripping chunks of pei out.
If your sheet is pretty old, iirc you can rejuvenate it by rubbing it with some fine steel wool.
Also, have you tried a raft instead of a brim?

If you think going down on someone is only a submissive act you haven’t gone down on someone long enough.

I distinctly remember learning this about myself after talking to someone on a dating app who used absolutely 0 punctuation. We’re talking like entire paragraphs-worth of text messages without a comma or period in sight.

100%. This is just due to the cost of hitting their servers in case you can’t reach your network
- Comment on Starting to self host 2 months ago:
Louis Rossman, a strong advocate for the right to self-repair, has an extensive, bottom to top guide on self hosting your own services. It starts from introducing what a modem is and what role it plays, and it ends with an entirely self hosted cloud. It comes in article as well as 13 hour video form. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get started self hosting - it doesn’t just introduce software you should learn, but it also shows you how to configure it.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread 2 months ago:
I finally got link warden up and running, but I’m chasing down some failures on a few websites.
Also realized that me biting the bullet for unlimited bandwidth (screw you Comcast!) means I can run archive team warrior, so that’s been going.

You could put a PlayStation disk into a CD player, skip a few tracks, and listen to the songs from the game

Syncthing-fork for Android is the only tricky bit

Use obsidian enough and your brain also just starts to interpret raw markdown lmfao.
I’ve definitely caught myself using md to format pen and paper notes before.
- Comment on How often do you run backups on your system? 2 months ago:
And equally important, how do you do your backups? What system and to where?
