- Comment on [AIT] Anyone using AI to map your network / system 2 days ago:
I’ve been doing that, I use kubernetes, so kagent. Sammy at first but it calmed down. It’s neat to have it auto triage something that went down or failed, parse the logs, look at the hardware and health and then tell me when it’s time.
GPUs are sparse but I run on a 3090, VRAM is king. If you have one for a server it’s not horrible to spin up an llm
- Comment on [AIT] Anyone using AI to map your network / system 2 days ago:
Yes and no. I use llama server to run my own local models, and then open ice to monitor it. From there a lot of open source services host MCP servers which then can help integrate. I then use it to auto write the documentation on the layout so next time when I say “go to the ZigBee controller and tell me…” It knows first go to the docs, it remembers where it is and any useful commands, then continues on.
- Comment on Nexus Mods acquires the popular community site SteamDB 4 days ago:
There’s something very wrong about a community run project that is bought by a company for profit. SteamDB would be nothing with contributions from us.
- Comment on Star Citizen spinoff Squadron 42 has been delayed yet again, citing everyone going gaga for GTA 6, even if it isn't coming to PC yet 1 week ago:
I keep seeing pointless engine upgrades and version bumps to dependencies. Every engineer knows at some point you have to draw a line in the sand

Who’s finally controllers patched in DAI! I’ve has to fix that manually for years!
- Comment on Nitter receives Cease & Desist from X/Twitter 1 week ago:
Yeah anytime I see code that I use that interacts with a third party I mirror it to be safe. Repos are small. Especially if the third party isn’t a tech company, like most home assistant things. They are incredibly hostile and letigous against open source projects that have the audacity to make their products better.
- Comment on Nitter receives Cease & Desist from X/Twitter 1 week ago:
always remember to clone/mirror repositories in other places folks. Lawyers got onto Github and Github happily takes things down unless all of the internet comes to push back. Mirror your favorite projects to codeberg, forgejo, gitea, wherever. You never know when someone will be forced to take that project you love down.

It’s a mod
- Comment on Emerging economies are skipping the fossil fuel detour 2 weeks ago:
It seems obvious to me. Why would you want to tie your economy to such a volatile dependency?

Well you seem fun to talk to. I like how you assumed a lot about me from one comment.
- Comment on As US Offshore Wind Disappears, a Generation of Workers Is Left Behind 3 weeks ago:
A nation gets left behind. The rest of the world is moving forward, we’re clinging to our 1940s fuel for some reason.

Good bot. Picked up all of Deus Ex for $12 bucks. Been working on getting my Drop instance working so this is perfect
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (24 July 2026) 1 month ago:
Yeah, I’m hopeful that changes. I know big projects require stronger leadership, but watching the comments on things made me feel like smaller OSS devs were like me and felt discouraged from helping out.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (24 July 2026) 1 month ago:
Jellyfin is the o ly OSS project I’ve walked away from a change. It was a simple exception thrown that could be ignored in very specific circumstances that I remember. I wrote up the change, left several lines of comments, looked up code style, files the bug and PR in the proper way and… Rejected.
My 2 or 3 line PR was nitpicked to hell, I think the fourth round of reviews I just walked away. It wasn’t worth it for me at that point.
So I’m not entirely surprised that they’re feeling burnout. It seemed exhausting getting anything done.
- Comment on Marathon’s player base is collapsing, and Bungie’s future looks increasingly bleak as concerns grow around the studio’s live‑service direction 1 month ago:
That was the only thing I was excited for. When I heard it was live service o ly I just assumed that they didn’t want my money, elsewhere why would they make it?
- Comment on Looking for a YouTube monitor and downloader. Sorry if wrong place for question. 1 month ago:
Best “it just works” solution I’ve found. So many others are just weird scripts around yt-dlp, and this kind of is too, but the most maintained and supported.

Course not, they just fired them all. But they’re completely replaceable as corporate America has taught us
- Comment on Halo 3 may be the greatest release in the history of the games industry 2 months ago:
Halo 3 was pretty much the pinnacle of releases. Gaming-wide it was highly anticipated, the true completion of the trilogy. It was hyped perfectly, the trailers were perfect representations of the game, it came out exactly when they said it would. The extra editions were meaningful, I got the “Legendary” edition and it included the Master Chief helmet, which I still have.
Anecdotally we were in high school, and the hype was so high that we spent the entire weekend playing as a group. My friend and I played through the campaign in one night, and then we played multiplayer for the weekend after. It was non stop fun, there were no bugs we found, the experience was spot on. It truly was lightning in a bottle.
It’s something that modern gamers just don’t have or get anymore. Not only is everything live service now, but multiplayer is very isolating, it is meant to be played as a one-screen experience, no ways to have more than 1 player on a single screen, which essentially killed the LAN party. No reason to group up, bring your TVs and consoles together anymore. Agree with you, day one releases, updates, bugs, you just can’t do that anymore. I don’t think we’ll get another release like that. (However marketers desperately want people to be that hyped)

Sounds like he stepped down, which I wouldn’t blame him after this.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 legal battle ends with reinstated CEO stepping down, as Krafton and Unknown Worlds founders agree settlement 2 months ago:
Read the same. He probably didn’t really want to come back either but knew it was the only way he would get them their rightfully earned bonuses.
- Comment on Selfhosted & AI 2 months ago:
I’ll have to play around with mine then, because I’ve had not great luck with it, or at least very disappointing. The CPU offloading is fairly slow, but maybe I should try tweaking more
- Comment on Selfhosted & AI 2 months ago:
That’s where I am okay with hardware, but can’t seem to fit the models on my 3090. I have dreams of something like an A100 someday, but not until there’s a ton of used ones that hit the market. What do you use for your hardware?
- Comment on America’s Biggest Wind Farm Arrives Just as Industry Heads for Declines | The biggest reason [for the decline] is President Donald Trump’s assault on renewable energy, and wind in particular 2 months ago:
Strong doubt, you can’t run away from free electricity forever. The “Industry decline” is manufactured because they can’t compete with free electricity. It’s temporary at most.
- Comment on Selfhosted & AI 2 months ago:
Yeah it’s heresy on Lemmy, but I do find it genuinely useful. My only regret is that I have to use Claude/Anthropic more than I’d like, which is why I have a vested interest in selfhosting myself. I’d rather figure out how to run the larger models myself and cut them off completely, but you even begin to mention that here and you’ll get downvoted to hell.
- Comment on Selfhosted & AI 2 months ago:
I like the AI tag idea. I’m someone who has what I’d call a noderate approach to AI, not an AI bro but any means but I’m also okay with some things built with AI if they’re done with care. If others don’t want to see it, fine, then that’s what a tag could be useful with. However the fuck AI/slop comments on something that admits to being AI is annoying to me. (We know it’s AI, they literally said it is).
If it becomes too much content, then yes would be okay with bi-forcating the community, buy only after it becomes a problem.
