  • I hope you make playlists for those things. Not a bad idea to chase the blues away.

    Have you considered cooking or baking as a way to minimize harm when it comes to food? They can be exercises in mindfulness, ways you can show appreciation for others, or ways to bring people together.

    I tend to dive into computer stuff like self hosting or tweaking my desktop. It feels good to get a project up and running, or at least have something to fix.



  • I feel like giving AI our information on a regular basis is just training AI to do our jobs.

    I’m a teacher and we’re constantly encouraged to use Copilot for creating questions, feedback, writing samples, etc.

    You can use AI to grade papers. That sure as shit shouldn’t happen.











  • I’ve been selfhosting for about 4 years now. I wanted to break away from services like Google and find tools I could control on my own hardware.

    I went from bare-metal Jellyfin and Nextcloud on my NAS to running the NAS with an NFS share and a Raspberry Pi as a pod orchestrator through quadlets. That little sucker is running pods for:

    • media (audiobookshelf, kavita, Jellyfin)
    • Immich
    • Invidious
    • Navidrome
    • Peertube
    • SearXNG
    • Servarr suite (flareresolverr/jackett/prowlarr, gluetun/qbittorrent, jellyseerr, lazylibrarian, lidarr, mylar3, radarr, sonarr)

    It’s also running instances of:

    • mumble
    • nginx-proxy-manager
    • sftpgo
    • syncthing

    I’ve only opened a few services for family usage, but everything else is VPN-accessible.

    Also, no more Nextcloud. Syncthing balances everything out, and I can use sftpgo’s webdav option to host my own seedvault backups. Now Google is collecting dust.
