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.

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.

Okay this is so fucking cool.

I heard that anonymous is taking credit for the ddos attack today.

If so, fucking finally!

I always had issues with chromecast. And I haven't used one in 5+ years. I assumed they were better by now?

Love Kojima. Will play anything he makes even for a little because of his legacy.

I am really trying to get into games blind, especially a Kojima experience, but can someone tell me if this is looking like a 'true' Death Stranding 2, as in, the same overall game play loop of delivering packages and finding human connection in the world?

Well... to me this seems awfully close to "stop hitting yourself problem".

Why are you looking comments everywhere? Do you really need that information to make a decision? Is it so bad to play a bad game now and then? I don't see a problem, because this problem is easily avoidable by not going to social media for opinions.

Or am I missing the point?

Elon Musk will go down in history as THE EXAMPLE of greed and generational wealth will do to you.

He is the wealthiest man in history, but is still never satisfied. He will never be happy. And you can't convince me he is happy right now. His actions are not the same as a happy man, but one that is insecure. Literally every decision, action, and even conversation reeks of it.
