for me it was the fact that the desktop case i used for the server had the power button on top and it was big enough to be pushed in, when my cat walked over it…

oh boy, not that again

i never had problems with Google, but Outlook always blocks my emails, just because it’s not a standard .com .net etc domain…

i might be a more typical nerd. i have a phd in physics and took a bunch of computer science course out of interest/boredom.

but i never learned anything that is really related to hosting. containers were not really a thing at the time and most courses i took were much more fundamental, like basics of networking or cpu scheduling. programming a learned on the fly to solve a problem, never as actual task in itself (what is very typical in my field and leads to horrible program code/collaboration scheme)

can’t make it what the 14th word is. is it just a typo of deletion or some satanic phallus symbol?

with “online” you are referring to social media discussions?

i mean using a model to obtain certain data is fine, we did that already twenty years ago. it would just not be called citing

Wikipedia is by design not citable, unless you include the revision number, but it contains all the sources to cite.

are people actually citing AI? i wonder how that would look like, it certainly sounds like: “my mom said…”

tl;dr: i never saw a problem in using Wikipedia (even at it’s beginning), but it’s an awesome to to get started with a topic, same counts for AI I guess.

oh boy. thanks for the link

both is good

I’m not into buying a car, so I’m actually not sure if that’s already real or just a joke/projection

I’m not disagreeing with you, just wanted to mention that this is not necessary their fault. i got super mad when they cancelled a series i was watching more through. turned out that the owner of the show (i think Paramount) just cancelled all contracts to stream it exclusively on their platform.

if not for the forced installation of the official client, it would really be neat. with a telegram bridge i also have good experience, only a single hiccup, years ago.

sounds correct. before this “meme”, i didn’t know that they made another one.

i don’t think it’s meant as counter example and more as a comparable story in the meaning of “the symptoms predicted it years ago”.

i have Whatsapp in a frozen shelter to starts it every two weeks.

recently i was thinking to have a second home server just for bridges, you should be able to use it federated. but didn’t try it yet.

main point for me was the sheer amount of ghost users.

one Location for dozen of rss feeds instead of looking up each individual. alternative is of course setting up the feeds on the client computer, but that works only nice if you use it only from one device (e.g. read history sync).

furthermore i prefer to have such set ups on a server with backups, so if e.g. my phone gets lost i don’t need to find back all those urls.
