Man, this makes me very proud of myself. I switched to Linux 10 years ago when it was really rough to maintain. Oooofff the sleepless nights I’d spent hunting for fixes that AI now can fix in mere seconds. I use ChatGPT a ton now to fix issues and my distro has been solid ever since.

We all need to keep one thing in mind, 99% (if not all) corporations will never again code anything manually.

My son is an avid watcher of my jellyfin, and that’s more than enough for me to feel it’s worth all the effort I’ve put in it. He even asks me sometimes to add this show or that movie and I freaking love it.

Ok, you get a pass from my “or just use a damn normal lock” dad’s finger wagging 😂

I’ve been using Immich for a couple of years now, and I really like. Nextcloud is good, too.

Is the custom launcher you use called “Projectivity”? That’s the one I use and it’s great.

A couple of years ago, I complained about not many options for PDF editing on Linux, now there are too many of them and I’m 100% ok with that. Thank you for this.

Elonsbitter.net sounds like a good replacement to nitter

Bachelor of science in molecular biology here. Never had any computer/programming courses, not even in college. I come from a 3rd world country, so our “computer lab” naturally had two desktops that we were only allowed on for half an hour a week for basic windows tasks. I’ve always been a curious person, though. Moved to the US in 2010 and started messing around with a laptop I had that was struggling to run windows. Ran into this thing called “Linux” and the rest is history.

I’ve had countless sleepless nights fixing things on my broken Linux installs and/or to make some things work. That is the thing that built what I know now.

Being the same curious dude I am, I wanted to dip my toes into self-hosting, and I just discovered that it’s just a whole new world that is even more fun. Been doing things in this realm for around 1.5 years now and still dabbling.

My own DNS is still up and strong. Take that, Cloudflare.
