It occurs to me (who dresses in shorts and a t-shirt) a good market that might be worth exploring would be costumers, like on Broadway, Theater, etc who has a warehouse of wardrobes, and needs to pick some things that convey a certain atmosphere for the performance … maybe theme based Operas. Runway model manager,. people in charge of choosing wardrobes for public performances.

I sincerely hope your endeavor is successful and you reap the rewards.

Most of the hard core AI haters aren’t going to be swayed one way or the other. For myself, I am concerned with security. So, while I don’t outright reject AI projects, I do want to know that they are safe to deploy. It’s 2026 and AI isn’t going away no matter the level of gnashing of teeth. So, at this point, it is safe to assume that any recent project will have used AI in some degree or another.

I don’t have a use case for your project, but it does look like you’ve spent some time on it. You had a problem, and produced a solution. Bravo! Don’t let 'em give you shit about your pony tail.

but it feels like cataloging stuff you put in your fridge so you can make recipes instead of just looking in the fridge.

I use Grocy and Bar Code Buddy for the pantry and groceries. My ‘wardrobe’ consists of jeans or shorts, and a t-shirt, so there’s not much to catalog. However, I can see how someone who has fashion sense, going to a fancy engagement, might want to browse their wardrobe for a potential ensemble and accessories. Not everyone is a slob like me. LOL

Win argument.

Lost war.

Just a follow up to first say thank you, and that the script is working for me. I’m doing a bit of tweaking but it certainly jump started the process. You’re a scholar and a gentleman.

freshdock looks pretty interesting.

community of AI haters.

Didn’t down vote…but not all of us are AI haters. A lot of us also have the unique ability to actually scroll right on by things we are uninterested in without leaving castigating remarks. If I were to launch into a diatribe every time someone mentioned the 'arr stack in here, I think most of you would be like 'Hey man, how about giving it a rest. We get it. You don’t like the ‘arr stack’, and you’d have a valid point.

Despite what some may think, I’m not a representative of Cloudflare, nor do I receive any benefit from recommending them. I just recommend what works for me. There are many avenues at your disposal. That said, Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust is a winner in my book. You will need a cheap domain name that you can change the nameservers to the ones Cloudflare assigns you. After that, you install Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust on your server, and connect to Cloudflare, Jacks a doughnut, Bob’s your uncle. No need to fiddle with NAT, or opening ports. Cloudflare takes care of all of that. Of course you will need port 22 (ssh) to directly admin your server.

The ones they let people have for free are less than 2 USD for registration and yearly renewal.

Not trying to rain on your parade at all. However, if you have to pay to register and a yearly renewal, then it’s not really free. I’ve never heard of GNAME, which is neither here nor there, but I went and checked it out. One of the things that stood out to me as I had to adjust my ad blocker to visit the site is that they are using baidu.com. So, right off the bat, that’s a red flag in my mind. Not saying that GNAME is doing anything nefarious, but, I’d proceed with caution.

• baidu.com
• fxgate.baidu.com
• hm.baidu.com

Baidu is kind of the Chinese equivalent of Google. GNAME is a Singapore registrar so it would probably make sense to use Baidu.

Baidu, Inc. is a Chinese multinational technology company specializing in Internet services and artificial intelligence. It holds a dominant position in China’s search engine market, and provides a wide variety of other internet services such as Baidu App, Baidu Baike, iQIYI, Baidu Tieba, and ES File Explorer.

While Baidu is not a scam, users should exercise caution, especially when it comes to data security. The company operates under Chinese regulations, which may differ significantly from those in other countries. Therefore, it’s essential to be aware of these differences and take appropriate measures to protect your personal information when using Baidu’s services.

I’m neither encouraging or discouraging, just informing. Additionally, there are some rather sketch reviews dealing with GNAME. One man’s paradise is another’s prison, so be informed and make your decisions based on that information and whether that fits into your threat model profile.

…maybe a kilo of your favorite strain too.

Also, good to run into you again!

Hey Hey Hey! There you are again. Good to see ya. Yes, I’m the guy, in well over his head, with the JSON weather project, and there have been a lot of kind and patient people holding my hand and trying to spoon feed the village idiot. LOL I’m very grateful tho.

Ah, neat idea!

It works for me like I said. Kind of a manual Olive Tin, before I even heard of Olive Tin. Some might find it rather silly, but my mind is shit at remembering. If it weren’t for copious amounts of notes and crutches all over the place, I’d be lost in the weeds.

Oh Snap! You didn’t. I will definitely get this running in a bit when I finish all my chores and can go play. Wow man, thank you so much!! I had put this on my dashboard as a means of encouragement to finish what I started.

ETA: That’s so purty. Haven’t fired it up, just imported. Got chores to do. Will report back.

So retro. I remember a string of those mini crt/camera combos. It was pretty cool tech back in the day.

Even document the little commands you feel dumb for forgetting over and over

Yup! On my dashboard, I have a small notepad where I keep all those ‘commands you feel dumb for forgetting .’ It does go on for a bit, and yes they are basic commands, but my memory is shit, so poke fun if you must. It works for me.

I’ve had to lean on backups many a time. It’s one of the reasons I make them and test them in a VM, because my dim brain coupled with fat fingers are a disaster waiting to happen.

People shit on LLMs

Well yes, and both sides of the coin have valid points. I do use AI occasionally, and at the very least it gets me going in the right direction, tho not always 100% accurate.

Be that as it may, you’re still sysadmin. In fact, you’re the whole IT dept for your network. LOL Chief cook and bottle washer, as it were. Don’t worry about asking for help either. You’re in the right place for this sort of thing.

OP, I failed to mention one of the most important things you can do as a novice or even as a seasoned vet: take prolific notes. Write down everything. All the commands, all the steps, you’ve used in conjunction with setting up whatever service you choose, everything. What I do is while I’m in the middle of deploying something, I write everything down. Upon a successful deployment, take those notes, clean them up, and include them in my 3,2,1 back up scheme. Don’t be lulled into the notion that you’ll be able to remember everything 6 months down the road. You wont! That’s the devil talking Bobby Boucher. Take notes. They’ll save your ass in the future.

I can provide a sample tomorrow.

That would be swell, but I wouldn’t make it a priority. Just whenever you get a round to it. I have been given a ton of source material to read. Stayed up a little too late last night trying to assimilate it all. LOL
