Didn’t downvote ya but, yeah I guess I could do that if I were a dev. Also, I would personally feel responsible for someone’s loss or havoc caused my my app.

Regardless, widespread burnout

If I were a dev, that would be the number one reason I would not publish any app I created. The constant demands from users, the constant integrations, et al, nah…pass. I am grateful for who do, but that’s just not my bag.

Authentik

Didn’t downvote you but, even as someone who dabbles in AI, and who does not outright reject AI assisted opensource projects, I do really care about the content, the inner workings of said app. If for nothing other than I don’t want to mop up an attack because I deployed something unsafe on my network. So, while I am quite open to AI assisted projects, prudence is the operative word.

I feel that. It’s a constant detour.

What I see as the problem is the same as the root problem elsewhere: all or nothing thinking

I would tend to agree.

I kinda think we are probably doomed

Consider this: When I was a young man we were engaged in the War Bay of Pigs, we had the Cuban missile crisis (there was a lot more going on in that area than most people realized), the very real possibility of global thermonuclear destruction, Vietnam, the violence and upheavals of the 60s, the 70s, and into the 80s, etc.

In 700 BC, Hesiod lamented the Iron Age as an era of constant toil, strife, warfare, and moral decay. He wishes he hadn’t been born in such a degraded time, describing how fathers and children will be at odds and people will dishonor their parents. He portrays the younger generation as greedy, restless, and lacking the virtues of earlier ages. Socrates too, chimed in.

What I can do is have tiny influence on the people I speak to.

Tho it may seem defeatist, I gave up trying to save the world back in the 60s when I came to the stark, yet liberating realization, that I cannot save the world, nor does it want to be saved. The very best I could possibly do is to influence a handful of people relatively speaking, and hope, in turn, they do the same.

Worst thing for the environment since cars

…and yet, we get in our cars and go to work, play, vacations, and never think much about it. Economies would crash if there weren’t necessary means of transportation. I don’t disagree that cars are pollutive, even tho we have made great advances in controlling and mitigating a lot of the pollutive aspects, and I don’t deny that AI contributes to carbon emissions. Which is why I keep saying that AI needs heavy regulation, much like we did with the early years of automobiles to present day. Another consideration is that the internet displaces carbon emissions with people who work remotely at home, streaming vs physical media being produced, etc.

It’s better than billions underreacting

Oh, it is always wise to educate yourself, take steps to mitigate pollutive aspects in our lives. But I don’t think that throwing the AI baby out with the bath water is conducive, much like we’re not going to stop using transportation. So in order to get the best of both worlds, there must be regulation, as much as I dislike regulation.

So, like transportation, AI isn’t going away. There must be regulation. For example: If company xyz runs an AI data center, it must be powered by renewable energy sources by x %. And why not extend that to all data centers? During COVID, about 557 million workers, or 17.4% of global employment, worked from home. COVID should have been an eyeopener globally. Skies over cities cleared somewhat and in some instances, significantly. Animals returned to their native habitats in the absence of humans. We have the technology to do better. We are just greedy and shortsighted.

Oh you’ll smoke a turd in hell for your insolence.

It means if the guy running Codeberg doesn’t like it. This is his fiefdom, not a public square. Make your own fiefdom for AI coding. You could call it Vibeberg.

LMAO! That’s hilarious and true. Look, until you own your own platform, with your own rules for said platform, or are a significant investor in said platform, then you are subject to the whims of that platform.

• Convert it to a kitchen recipe display device and retrieve recipes off of your server.
• Home monitoring panel
• Video/Photo frame
• e-reader

They produce a lot of noise, so you still have to somewhat understand what you’re looking at/for.

I’d buy that. I mean, Lynis produces volumes of info, not all are really related to your server.

Wow! That is a very intriguing question, and one that I have never considered before. Just spitballing here but you could possibly use trad apps like Lynis, Greenbone, Nikto, etc. These apps often produce rather verbose and sometimes cryptic output, i know Lynis sure does. So, you could use a prompt like:

‘You are a security analyst. Review the following Nmap scan results. Identify services running outdated or potentially vulnerable versions, suggest likely CVEs, and prioritize findings by risk.’

Then use something like llama3.1:70b, mistral-nemo or deepseek-coder-v2, and pipe your security scans into your local AI. You could feed it your NGINX, docker configs, pFsense firewall rules in and ask the model to audit them.

IDK, that’s a very good question I think. It’ll be interesting to see what others have to comment.

I wonder if there’s a blogpost or something somewhere summarizing the main changes.

I bet you could use AI summarize all the changes. LOL

(and especially when old, as it likely means a standard big ATX rather than a mini-ITX)

Oh this thing is monstrous. LOL It’s a Coolermaster Cosmos II case with a EVGA Classified SRX dual CPU with 96 GB RAM. So, yeah lots of room for heat dissipation.

I’ve just recently begun my selfhosting journey so I’m not very well versed in networking

Welcome to the club dude! It will be the most frustratingly rewarding journey you undertake. LOL

Anubis or Cloudflare

Huh…that’s interesting. I just went to safereddit.com which I’m sure uses Anubis, tho the transaction is so quick I can’t 100% confirm that, but I think they do. Now, I have retro-fitted two pretty powerful, not your standard, fans in the old PC to mitigate some of that heat, along with the stock fans that I used to build it. Whereas your laptop generally utilizes one fan. I don’t know, but it intrigues me so I’ll keep a closer eye on it just out of mild curiosity.

Thanks.

Finally, these things can cause literal harm to a device

Unpack that a bit more. What are you using to determine the harm to the device? I understand the concept that heat kills, however, as someone who watches temps closely on my server and especially on my old PC, I can’t confirm that a site causes a dramatic rise in temps. I have openhardware monitor on my desktop that remains ‘always on top’ and I see very little variation from site to site as far as temps are concerned. Just curious as to how you came to that conclusion. Perhaps it’s because I lean heavily on my standalone pFsense firewall to filter traffic.

People don’t like Cloudflare, I assume, because it’s concentrating your data into one channel. They have control much like a lot of major data centers. So it’s 6 of this, half dozen of the other, and those idiosyncrasies are justified differently by different selfhosters. I would hazard a guess that all major banking institutions use Cloudflare. It’s just that ubiquitous. I use Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust and I absolutely love it. Cloudflare is unavoidable on the internet.

ETA: To answer your question directly, yes lemmy.world does employ Cloudflare.
