Actual photo of my mind.

I hate these old pictures that show the prize but never the meal.

It’s fair what you’re feeling and experiencing.

Please talk that over with a medical doctor, not with strangers on the internet. I would hate for you to do something that puts your health or safety at risk. I’ve seen it happen too many times to too many friends who underestimated the risks of going off medication.

Feel free to DM me if you’re having trouble connecting with a doctor for any reason, whether it’s personal or logistical.

That sounds like the first person to get killed by the demons talking.

Right before they say, “oh, that’s weird. I swear I removed these yesterday.”

In all seriousness, it’s very common for people to want to quit their meds because they don’t think they need them.

You think you don’t need them because they’re working, and if you stop taking them, they will stop working.

I’ve seen this movie before. You need to throw away that computer and then burn down the dump.

Unpopular opinion: the Firefox hate is completely out of proportion.

Whether we like it or not, a lot of users are interacting with the internet through AI agents. Every browser larger than Firefox already has AI agents locked into the browser. Firefox is providing an option for people who would like to use it, and that’s it. They’re providing it in a better and safer context, in which users can define the scope of access that the AI has, which AI agent they want to use, or even use a local AI model.

A lot of people here will start simping for the Google-backed Chromium browsers, or for crypto mining browsers, or for browsers that are essentially reskinned Firefox.

I’ve used the beta version that’s out now. There’s a little pop-up when it updates that says, hey, would you like to set up your choice of AI agent? If you don’t want one, you just click no thanks and skip it and everything else still works the same.

Maybe I’m the one with the clown makeup in the last panel, but I just don’t see what the big deal is for everybody.

There a a lot of "Billion"s being bandied around AI, and I feel like we have become a bit desensitized to it.

For $1 Billion, you could permanently and comfortably house 70,000 people.

(based on average US housing price and household size)

There were absolutely protests under Obama. Things were bad.

There are bigger protests now under Trump. Things are worse.

Like I said, the math is pretty simple.

Please stop trying to rewrite history.

That only tells a small portion of the story. Here’s the full picture:

Obama also created DACA to protect kids without legal immigration status.

Trump has used ICE to arrest hundreds of US citizens, including government officials. Trump has expanded detention centers and instituted a brutally punitive system, including sending hundreds of people to El Salvador prison. Trump has expanded ICE to a larger force than most nations’ standing armies.

Anyone who thinks that the immigration system is better now than a decade ago must have their fingers in their ears.

Why are you pretending that liberals have not been calling for humane immigration reform for the past 40 years?

There are significantly more protests against ICE now because ICE is significantly worse. It’s basic math.

Yep, I even remember reading that people wanted the Nobel committee to rescind the prize after he launched the murder drone program.

I never heard of this before, but it looks similarly easy to deploy. It requires Javascript instead of Python, which is the same to me although I’m sure others will have a strong preference for one or the other. Pretty nice interface though.

Genuinely curious: What advantage would you have from running it in a docker container?

In this economy, that’s the one present everyone can afford.

LOL well at least you know I’m not an AI. Fixing now.

I also had a lot of difficulty setting up NextCloud. Based on the various reviews and comments, it seems like I may have actually dodged a bullet.

In general, as I’ve tried different self-hosting solutions, I’ve found that using a dedicated solution for each purpose has given me better results. I use Radicale for contacts and Calendar, Immich for photos, Jellyfin for media (Navidrome for music is great, but I ended up keeping my music library in Jellyfin because I liked the client apps better).

I’m using OwnCloud for filesync, although I’m also testing CopyParty, which is pretty phenomenal and stupid simple.

Tailscale is GOAT. Some people have speculated that it could be subject to enshitification some day. It’s managed by a for-profit company, but everything they do is open source. There are already well-tested forks like HeadScale if you ever have the need to self-host it in the future.

NextCloud seems great if you can get it working and provides a lot of services in one. Some people have said that causes bloat and slowdown, so there are two sides to the coin.

Syncthing is likely not a good option for a file server. It’s great if you want to have a shared file or folder on multiple devices, especially if you just want to transfer files quickly and seamlessly. It’s fantastic at what it does, but it’s not a file server. There are a lot of opportunities for error when using Syncthing.
