- Comment on Do you participate in this hobby without a formal IT education or a career in a 1 day ago:
Me too. I do not work in IT, I do not even work at a computer.
Started installing first ripped Windows, later Linux on handmedown laptops starting around 2010.
And tweaking the shit out of it, later also to escape the Big G.
Selfhosting since 2014.
I can’t do everything either but I’m confident enough to let my server face the world. It doesn’t take all that much knowledge, mostly common sense.
I guess there’s some secondary knowledge, like knowing where to find useful instructions (archwiki) or knowing that Linux software often (but not always) doesn’t bother with sane defaults.
If this narrative seems to be coming from the prehistoric past then there’s your answer: give it more time. Do what you can do now, and surely your knowledge/capability will grow. Esp. tweaking Linux!

Thanks.
I understand now that this software does not use one of the big general AI providers but a specialised model (for birds esp.?) that runs locally; that I can get behind.
Are there other keywords in software descriptions I can look for that help me make such distinctions?

Let this post be the one to ask a question that’s been bothering me (not a coder):
Multi-model local AI inference, runs 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi.
This and similar claims in other software suggest - to me - that the AI is running locally on the raspi, no need to exchange data with sites providing AI APIs or whatever.
I struggle to believe that this is possible, let alone on a raspi.
So, how “local” ar the AIs that help more and more software with various tasks?
Is “local AI” some sort of selling point that is often false or deliberately misleading? “Localwashing”?

I just trusted my taste buds. Pity though, they’re large and I got a lot of sauce quite similar to your recipe, which I then had to throw out.

L. sulphureus
That was the one. Wikipedia says:
Young specimens are edible if they exude large amounts of a clear to pale yellow watery liquid. Only the young outer edges of larger specimens should be collected, as older portions tend to be tough, unpalatable, and bug-infested.
I did not follow this advice (no bugs though).

There are several mushrooms that are called chicken of the woods or something like that, in several countries. I once tried one but it might have been too old. It tasted horrible.

Thanks, it’s good to know that this exists as a plugin.
- Comment on Jellyfin Project Leadership Changes 3 weeks ago:
Thanks but I’m happy with Navidrome.
- Comment on Jellyfin Project Leadership Changes 3 weeks ago:
Huh. yeah, no PHP anywhere. Sorry, no idea where that idea came from.
- Comment on Jellyfin Project Leadership Changes 3 weeks ago:
I never understood why they don’t support the subsonic protocol. There’s no native Jellyfin app for my OS, so I changed to Navidrome.
Also, my server is still PHP-free and I’d like to keep it that way.

Not sure “selfhosted” is the right term here, but a Quick Search™️ for “opensource lawnmower” returns this:

Chrome isn’t even opensource. It’s based on the Chromium open-source project.

- Comment on What to do after getting a domain name? 2 months ago:
Do you have a static IP? Just point your domain to that. I only have A- MX- and CNAME-record. A is for the numerical IP. MX is for mail, I don’t use it. CNAME is for subdomains afaics (currently only contains www).
All fields are comma-separated lists.
NS stuff is for if you’re running a nameserver and I never even looked into it.

No you didn’t. It’s not going anywhere, but it will always be a minority compared to SAAS.

Now appropriate metaphors for the relentless attacks coming in from everywhere, the need for encryption etc. Please.
