I heavily agree on this for most people. Sadly books, actual lectures and classes and online tutorials haven’t been working for me before.

It must really fucking suck being a teacher in programming and having invested time into a book or online tutorial/study thing today. I hope EU will legislate AI training.

This was my usecase when learning JS. I’ve always had a very very difficult time with programming and wrapping my head around those types of patterns. But with the help of AI I was able to get a quicker understanding and being able to ask followup questions, explain what different symbols do, nowadays I use it as a basic reference to get a starting point to some solutions while just being well versed enough to approach a lot of things on my own.

I often try to switch around and experiment with different similar and potentially better approaches unless it’s giving me one of those responses that have been the most bogstandard straightforward way of doing it… because of a stackoverflow answer from 12 years ago. But those are often the more simpler queries. But each day I practice my programming I turn to search engines more and more to adapt similar problems to my own so the kickoff of using AI got me to the point where I had a stronger understanding of how things work in a practical learning method that worked really really well for me.

I hate how great AI can be in some use cases while I also am part of the reason for excessive power usage of GPUs :( but I really don’t think I would’ve been able to get as far as I’ve come today without it.

I’ve been with 1984.is for some time as well. They’re international domain is 1984.hosting. I’ve also had contact with their support and they’re friendly, knowledgeable and straight on point.

I had to transfer my domain and they wanted the domain key. Not wanting to send that over insecure email asked if they have a GPG key and told me they do, sent me a link to their site to get it and a specific mail to send it to which I then was able to send over. The process of contacting them and getting everything set was very speedy and I felt in good hands.

There is not. But I’d say keep SSH closed on the NAS or whitelist only your local IP in the firewall. I do that and turn it off when I don’t need it. It can be a bit risqué messing about with SSH on Synology because of how funky they’ve made the distro it’s running and any changes you make might not persist on reboot or after updates.

It’s basically a front-end GUI to Docker, like how some use Portainer. Synology has pretty alright documentation here. If you’re on mobile, click the menu button on the top right to view the sub-pages for the docs, was confusing at first to find what more it had to say about it lol.

But in short, to spin up individual containers you can go to the “Container” page. But there’s a big lack of control because Synology so I recommend to use Docker Compose under “Projects” for more fine grained control if needed. When you start a project you have to select a location for the project files and you can use dot notation for sub directory and files when doing volume mounting, eg. ./nginx/config:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

There’s a lot to read on for containers in general and working with them on Synology is a tad different and sometimes a lot of hoops to jump through. But it’s definitely nicer in the end than running almost anything outside of Synology’s Office Suite through it!

I’d recommend to make a Dockerfile for it and run it that way. It’ll be quite a lot easier than to manage installing a bunch of dependencies.

Here’s a guide I found pretty good!

Here’s a bit of a shorter one too to get some more reference.

I almost thought some new law was passed about WiFi and Windows Server in whatever country they’re in lmao

No, Njalla is. They have a history of stealing domains and banning users without explaining why and absolutely refuse to look into why a user got banned in the first place. On top of that generally terrible customer support.

I’ve had the complete opposite experience with 1984.hosting, support has been great and they even support GPG keys to one of their emails if you want to keep your inquires encrypted.

1984.hosting has a freely available to use DNS service for domains. They’re a good company that does what Njalla say they do but without the bullshit of stealing peoples domains.

I have a .cloud address that works fine. Just make sure DKIM, SPF and HELO is setup and configured properly.

Sleep is FOSS now

Search is definitely lacking sadly. Unsure if there’s even solid plans to make it much better either.

I don’t do a lot of message searching so luckily for me, it’s not something that bothers me too much.

Matrix seems like a perfect fit for you then!

Wow, good stuff. First when I saw the post my brain literally thought it was made for chronically online people but then I remembered about the business applications… Maybe I’m too chronically online…

I might give this a go for a friend of mine who just started a company, it will most likely be an amazing tool for him!

I am curious about the AI implementation, is it also ran on the server or do you connect to an external service like OpenAI? If it’s local, which model is it running and is it ethically sourced data?

I’ll be keeping an eye on this project, seems great and I’m so glad you made it open source too!

I wish I could upvote twice, you’re gonna save me so much time.

That’s not misleading, that sites subtitle is just blatantly lying.
