This can go a long way without much changes. It's definitely worth it.

This is getting more and more accessible. It's also one of the uses which makes sense for LLMs.

Interesting breakdown of a possible organisation for accessing self-hosted hardware at home through wireguard.

Nice opinions on why to get back into RSS. Also comes with a few interesting options and suggestions (I'm happy with my current reader though, but who knows).

Interesting tips and caveats when using Tailscale.

Definitely over engineered but a good way to play with many interesting tools.

It's nice to see there are turn key solutions for hosting your own XMPP server nowadays. And the community behind this one even improve on the mobile applications.

There is some truth to this. Self-hosting isn't for everyone just for the skills and compromises it requires. We need more widely available solutions without the corporate overlords.

Nice trick to properly route from a public VPS with enough addresses to servers in your basement.

You don't need to self-host the mail itself, but you definitely should control the domain.

Or why you need to own at least some part of your infrastructure.

Definitely this. Sure we should seek for decentralization, but this is not going to happen or be effective without regulation. Ensuring privacy is a legislative and political problem as much as a technical one.

Definitely a good post. No you don't have to go all in with cloud providers and signing with your blood. It's often much more expensive for little gain but much more complexity and vendor lock in.

Nice intro for regular people who want to get into publishing a web site. Good way to bring some democracy back to the web.

Excellent point, we made the web too complex for regular users. This is actually an issue in term of access and democracy for people to write content there.

Interesting approach for using CRDT through a file sync application. Probably something to see somehow generalized on traditional desktop applications.

This is ignoring the energy consumption aspect. That said, it is spot on regarding the social and economics aspects of those transformer models. They have to be open and self hostable.

This is indeed a real concern... with no propre solution in sight.

Since there are ways to offset the plagiarism a bit, let's do it. Obviously it's not perfect but that's a start.

Keep things as simple as possible, they might turn out to be robust too.
