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.

Considering using a server rack for a homelab? This is a nice tutorial with plenty of advices.

Lots of ideas indeed. Having your own website gives so much freedom in what you can do there.

Looks like an interesting and comprehensive reference to squeeze as much reliability as possible from a Raspberry Pi.

Interesting stats, not that easy to gather. This gives a good overview of where the fediverse instances are hosted though.

Looks like a nice way to ease the use of webmentions. Also comes with a command line option not relying on third party hosted service apparently.

Definitely true... never had use for more than the server logs for understanding the traffic on my blog. No need to invade the privacy of people through their browser.

Could indeed turn into a nice alternative to fail2ban.

Interesting terminal oriented tool to interacting with LLM. Let you choose to self-host or run locally.

Another great release. Definitely welcome features.

Very thorough explanation of an interesting NAS setup. There are a few interesting tools I didn't know about in there.
