My dad loves the discount.
Its just a habit, he could care less about the actual amount.

Fair enough. LLMs and even Google have nuanced drawbacks, I personally try to give the creator of software some say into its usage simply because the intended usage is better tested than any changes I may need in the future.
At the and of the day learning is key.

Don’t worry, its made for you to pick it up as you go. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the 3-2-1 backup principles first. The idea that your data survives regardless of anything that may happen is important. You (and I trust me) will bork things and accidentally erase precious data. Be prepared to recover from that. Simple solutions you understand and test > complex info secondhand.
You ddint ask but I will mention you shouldn’t encrypt anything yet that you dont have to. Also use as little software as possible I.e. stay away from github repos.

I haven’t had that experience. More often than not I’ve found properly made software breaks in ways that tell you why. I seem to get stuck going in a circle of doom with llms.

I believe putting in the effort to understand the man format is a great start. Man was made to be helpful and nearly universal.
I second the idea of breaking down the commands mentally and understanding how CLI really works. You don’t need to go super deep but some stuff like $PATH and general bash or zsh will 100% make everything a breeze. These are tools like swinging a hammer you have to learn the motion.

Cloud based solutions in selfhosted are a hilarious suggestion.

I would suggest avoiding anything that is a “community” or “personal use only”. If its not fully open its not worth it.

Its workday. Its a miracle if it works anytime of day. This is not surprising.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 2 months ago:
In my experience the outfits target schools to exploit the children’s relationship and free labor with family. We are talking incredibly low quality junk you cannot find at stores or really even online.
At my school the goal was to sell like $1000 worth a crap to get a limo ride to a local restaurant.
6,7,8 year old etc do not have a value of wealth. “Oh daddy/mommy/grandpa, I really really want the limo ride” etc.
There’s no legitimate reason for such a thing to exist other than pure exploitation. After experiencing that I would demand to opt out for my children.

- Comment on Things at Tesla are worse than they appear 3 months ago:
Funniest thing about Tesla was the idea they’d make evs more economical and realible after starting in the luxury space. They did exactly the opposite and now shareholders are paying dearly.
- Comment on Can local LLMs be as useful and insightful as those widely available? 3 months ago:
100% you don’t have to train a thing ollama uses open availability models. They many are decent, the best use a lot of ram/vram.
- Comment on Data centers will look ridiculous with tiny future servers. 3 months ago:
They tend to fill the space. I mean if you drive by a modern data center, so much grid electrical equipment is just right there. Now if hypothetically supermachine uses all that power sure, small data center. Unless they have a nuclear reactor they should (fu felon musk) only rely on grid/solar/renewables.

If its >50% (that is it is just randomly works) I wouldn’t want to announce that I am ripping off the government either.
