I have something like homegrown pihole (dnsmasq with block lists) , jellyfin, qbittorrent and nfs/smb share. Everytime when such a post appears there is this irrational desire to create cool monitoring and homepage and homeassistant. Never materialises into anything, after all there is always emacs that requires tinkering if needed. :3

I’m always at awe when people do this for their home like I’ve been managing infra for almost two decades and don’t have even quarter of the things some people install and manage. It looks overwhelming to be honest.

Can’t read the article due to cloudflare blocking me, but it sounds implausible that barely populated planet can’t sustain more than 2,5 billion people. Feels too much in line with techno-feudalist dreams.

Yeah it’s a scam and everybody knows that it’s a scam.

I really like software that is built from plugins, but it needs to have some stable ‘core’ plugins shipped by default, like emacs for example. Nothing by default is pretty useless but it all depends on constraints and requirements.

The best time to buy is now. I think unless everything will return to “normal” after ai crash there won’t be cheap current hardware for some time, maybe ever.
