Are you really asking why advertising that "the following comment may be hallucinated" nets you more downvotes than just omitting that fact?

You're literally telling people "hey, this is a low effort comment" and acting flabbergasted that it gets you downvotes.

It's not irrelevant, it's that you don't actually know if it's true or not, so it's not a valuable contribution.

If you started your comment by saying "This is something I completely made up and may or may not be correct" and then posted the same thing, you should expect the same result.

As a general thing because I found myself trying to justify my Gear Acquisition Syndrome -- it's a good idea to split services across devices, rather than having some monolithic home server (which is where most people start). That way if one box goes down, it doesn't take down your whole stack.

If you have some machines scattered about doing different things, it might be time to consider logically grouping services and splitting them across that hardware.

Do you think I'm offended by it?

What a weird reply...

Do you think I'm angry?

This is the same "argument" that says "literally" can mean "figuratively".

Not a particularly interesting argument to point put that common misusage can alter meaning.

What "experts" argue about that?

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 months ago

If that's what you need to tell yourself.

We're only talking about hosting because you offered it up as a way of accessing it for "free".

If you want to use Google, you have to pay the same as for using Lemmy, or searxNG, zero.

Nope. With Google, you pay with your data. With Lemmy or SearxNG, you pay with money, or you enjoy the benefits of socializing the cost (just like "free" healthcare)

Neither are free.

So I'd have to spend money on additional equipment, is what you're saying.

Which is not true of using Google.

Get it yet?
