I see myself in your profile. It took me ages to take the leap.

I first tried seeking help in r/selfhosted and got discouraged by the elitist community.

I just ate dozens of hours of YouTube content, bought a Raspberry Pi 4, and failed numerous times.

The fact is, I was stuck in the anomalous state of knowledge.

So just go ahead, hit and miss, but as an ADHD, document everything. EVERYTHING. Every step you take, every thing you learn.

The community here is a lot friendlier than Reddit’s, so don’t be afraid of asking, as long as it’s well formulated.

And one thing I didn’t have when I took my first steps is AI. It was made for this: getting out of the anomalous state of knowledge. It will help you define what’s missing so you can ask the proper questions.

Have fun learning!

Short answer: it depends on what you write, where you are, and who hosts it. High-level discussion is usually legal. Step-by-step guidance or facilitation of piracy can trigger liability regardless of disclaimers or missing links.

I totally agree. Criticism should lift people up, just like the way it’s delivered. But meeting rudeness with more rudeness just doesn’t strike me as productive. No matter how unfair the original jab was.

It’s a shame to dismiss the mastery of language as mere pedantry, when in fact it’s a tool for precision and respect for those who read us. In an age when automatic correctors make writing accessible to everyone (including those with challenges like severe dysorthographia) deliberately choosing approximation is to miss an opportunity: the chance to rise above, to communicate without ambiguity, and to show that we value our audience.

Language is not a cage. It’s a bridge. Why settle for the easy path when, with a little care, we can open doors?

Looks exactly like what I need. Thank you :D

Oh I missed that. Thanks

This is something I struggled with and still struggle with to this day. I searched for a long time for a simple web app to connect my Nextcloud calendar (now Radicale), and one day, a hero who has since disappeared proposed Bloben (the link leads to a copy of the repo that I luckily had before he deleted his repository).

The Luna application began to take shape, but the developer is very young and very busy with his studies. Progress is therefore very, very, very slow.

Finally, there is Fluid-Calendar, which is very promising, but a couple of functions are still missing, which is why I’m sticking with Bloben for the moment.

I find it crazy that the community offers so many calendar solutions without providing a truly reliable and efficient frontend solution.

🥰

It’s great that these tools exist. Thanks for sharing.

I use this which combines languagetools, libre translate and openwebui for your local AI needs

It’s great to see all the progress made so far. However, I’m surprised that Pixelfed is still not supported.

Thanks for your answer.

So if Docker completely ignores UFW rules, how am I supposed to protect my VPS ? I’ve never done this before and I’m puzzled.

As for NPM, here’s the “ports” part of my docker-compose

    ports:
      - '80:80'
      - '81:81' #GUI
      - '443:443'

I have developped this myself

It’s a lot friendlier with a link :)

I talked about it here last year

Hahaha, I can totally relate. I think we should think of it as a virtue. Continue the good work 💪

I mean yes, that seems obvious now that I’ve learned this.

But I wish I read this comment 3 years ago when I was starting to dive into self hosting. Would have saved me a bunch of time. So always assume some piece of knowledge is not obvious for someone out there and share ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

It now supports jxl

Mostly suggestions on language and structure.

Not natively. But it might, using libjxl-tools. Open an issue, and I’d be glad to work on this when I get some spare time again.

It is fucking insane. And I’m really torn apart about this. When I showed this to my brother, he said: I might not have a job anymore anytime soon… But at the same time, it gave me the opportunity to dive into something that was forbidden to me before for a couple of months. I learned a lot, and it got me out of the anomalous state of learning.

I hate AI… but I like it at the same time…
