Right, it’s just the side-bar makes the distinction between “online services” and “self-hosted” so I wasn’t sure.

A place to share alternatives to popular_ online services_ that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

VPS is self-hosted?

I firmly believe that this information (but for porn) would increase adoption of the software being advertised.

Time to sacrifice a robot and dial-up the BBS to see what’s fresh.

Or set up a second pi-hole.

That just sounds like Amish with more tech.

Timing to hit the pause button (to unpause) in order to start a recording JUST as the DJ stops talking and the song kicks in…

This is what happens when you promote a robot to manager.

Would it be safe to say that all 3 answers would fail the test?

LoL, no I took you at your word which was my mistake
“ChatGPT tells you” read to me like you attempted and got that response.

You’re saying the test would work.
In 43+ years on this planet I’ve never HEARD someone seriously use “non sequitur” properly in a sentence.
Asking if the intention is sincere would be another flag given the circumstances (knowing they were being tested).

Toss in a couple real questions like: “What is the 42nd digit of pi?”, “What is the square root of -i ?”, and you’d find the AI pretty quick.

Voight-Kampff test maybe?

Imagine someone asked you “If Desk plus Love equals Fruit, why is turtle blue?”
AI will actually TRY to solve it.
Human nature would be to ask if the person asking the question is having a stroke or requires medical attention.

My RPi3 is still kicking (Single purpose PiHole)

Must not be my neck of the woods (US). You mentioned the Pi, which is in my wheelhouse of “cheap”. Personally I’ve got a couple computers picked up from the local community college for $10 running TrueNAS and Proxmox.

My Google-Fu couldn’t find an R9 3900X for under $200, just the chip, used. I had hopes you had a better source I was missing out on.

13ft Ladder is twice as expensive as this solution.

Got a link for a cheap Ryzen 9 pc?

Tracert will give you the latency of each hop required to make it to your destination. Not sure why everyone is complicating it.

If you’re replacing, why not clone the old drive to the new and expand to fill?

Back in my day we called it DigDug and it blew my mind.

Consumers of the software want one thing. C-Suite doesn’t know what they want, but want to be involved in every step dictating terms. Designers are caught in the cross-fire (if they even get a chance to get consumer input). C-Suite pulls the paycheck trump card to get what they want then cry, “Why do they hate our software?”
