Where's the crypto? I'm honestly shocked they're not launching some dumb meme coin or NFTs integrated into the browser.

Lovecraftian doctor simulator? I guess I'll read the article. My interest is piqued.

Don't. They're handpicked Elon bootlickers.

As much as it would be a true net positive if that was taken down, they're probably referring to the vast number of networks that actually do viral things.

It's AI! It's buzzwordy and hyped! It's the best thing since things! It'll generate so much value. For shareholders.

Don't do that. The Amish are not good people.

We should all be more like the actual Luddites - they destroyed technology that was being used to exploit and/or displace workers.

I know a bunch of folks who will opt in because their thought process regarding technology is pretty much "new = good."

I'll look into Tailscale then. I'm guessing there's something funky about adding additional users. I would eventually like to add one or two other people.

EDIT: Thank you for all the comments and suggestions! I'm sorry I can't reply to everything but I have a list now of hardware to look at. I appreciate that everyone has been so helpful! I'll post an update once I buy one and get it going.

I've been running a Plex server for music off my gaming laptop for a few months and (I think) I'm ready to take it further - that is, I'd like to have the server running on its own hardware.

At this point, I'd just be running a music server, but I know I'll want to add more services.

The first would be something like Google Drive - I'm working with a couple of other people on business plans and I'd love to self-host our files and the software (like LibreOffice) to edit them.

I'm comfortable with the software side and I'm finding lots of options, especially in this community.

The hardware side... I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all the options and I don't know enough to judge the search results.

Any recommendations for hardware or links to guides would be appreciated.

Brainscape hack or such (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Is there a way to download or otherwise use Brainscape flashcards without paying (imo) high subscription prices for their "brain science"?

I'm going to see what I can do on my own but I'm low skill so any help would be appreciated.

TIA!

Kinda newbie in need of guidance (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I've been lurking here for a while, trying to learn and set up my own stuff. I'm starting off with music. I have a few thousand files in different formats and plenty of duplicates.

I already have an Emby server set up and it works very well.

However, is there a music manager that will help me find and eliminate duplicates?

I'm using Linux Mint and I'm still figuring out how to set up the various users and groups so that the software can access where my music is stored.

I'm thinking Lidarr but - as mentioned - something about setting up users and a media group and doing the permissions is not clicking.

For Emby to work, I've made the music directory a shared location and opened guest access.

Any pointers to step by step guides on any of this would be very helpful as well.
