No real info, so I am not hopeful and cynical.

My guess the new superpower is AI stuff or a shop to give them money for the memes.

Hello, I am also new at self hosting semi recently. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once your over the hump, it gets a lot better.

First, 100% use docker desktop if your using windows. Most github projects have a docker file you can use. This will take out 90% of the setup required and you don't have to worry about applications not working on your computer. Thats the point of docker, to remove the "doesn't work on my computer" problem.

Here are some independent github projects that I found useful for me and were simple to setup.

• excalidraw - digital whiteboard. You don't need to self host this, but its a fun little project. You can just go to excalidraw.com and have 100% of the same features (it is all saved in your browser's cache).
• mealie - I cook a lot so this is a nice 'permanent' cook book to have.
• warracker - I always forget what I have warranties on, so this will be helpful for me.
• Arr projects like sonarr, radarr, Jellyfin - sonarr and radarr is a good project to sink your teeth into (do not recommend using docker for this, I had issues with my docker container connecting to my external drives because I have Windows Home edition). This ecosystem is usually everyone's first project along with pihole since its so useful. Sonarr and radarr will probably take you a week or weekend, Jellyfin will take like 5 min.

Fuck.....

The perfect analogy for the fucking US of A.

Hi, just joined today. Already love it! I somehow get more interaction on here than I do on reddit.

Definitely looking forward to small communities again.

Yupp. I am part of a local gaming community, and that is how I know trans people. But everywhere else in my life, especially work in a office building, zero signs of anyone be trans. Not going to lie, it is a very hard mental shift to not say the wrong pronouns when I jump social circles. Always feel like a dick.

Hell, I know for a fact that many people in my office wouldn't even have the concept of a trans person if it wasn't for social media.

Reddit told me Anonymous is taking credit for it. Wonder if it is true or not. Either way, I do hope this is an attack on him.

I’ve just described to you a person that really wanted to learn something, and did it. Put in hours of mental and physical effort. And your response is that nobody wants to learn, and that people only learn what they want to learn? Which is self-evident and vacuous.

No need to be rude man. You also described the same person as unwilling to learn something. And I didn't say that person wanted to learn or not, I generalized and said people don't want to learn.

I believe we are both trying to say the same thing with different emphasis.

You are emphasizing that people do like to learn, but there are external forces that encourage/convince them not to.

I am emphasizing that people don't like to learn, unless they want to overcome the external forces. I just don't buy the excuse of external factors stopping people from learning, that's part of the learning process.

Your example talks about a person building a pc. Yes it takes time, energy, money, and learning. But it also has A TON of resources to help with that on the internet, definitely makes it easier. It is now a famously recommended project for anybody, even kids. It was also something that is 'new' to them, I assume.

Typing this out made me realize a distinction I failed to bring up. People do like to learn, but people HATE to UN-learn ideas. The person in your example wanted to learn something new, but did not want to unlearn the iphone walled garden.

I used https://kiwix.org/en/ to download wikipedia originally.

Then I saw in the desktop app that you can download a lot more "wikis" other than wikipedia. This is their library. https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng

It includes computers, phones, game consoles, appliances, vehicles, tools, even medical devices and apparel.

I joined the discord, so I get a notification whenever it is time to predict a bracket. Whenever that happens, I do my prediction right away. I don't usually watch the tourney live. But I do go check to see how my predictions went.

Makes me put my money (fake internet points) where my mouth is. So I like it because of that.

It is really easy to use, and free. No real money involved.

Okay this is so fucking cool.

Only if the day ends with a major headline.
