Someone please give a serious answer please.

My selfhosting gimmick is “no reliance on things outside my control”

Autism+Add which is adhd minus the external hyperactivity.

There is alot of overlap between these and others also so i usually prefer the term neurodivergent.

Mind i ask what are you trying to archive? At what point would you see yourself as a programmer? When its in your job description? X amount of projects worked on on GitHub?

As an auti-dd I really really like coding and i had a developer job once to discover i absolutely loathed it. I hated having rules and infrastructure that directed me how to code, i hated being told what i could work on. I could not stand having a schedule telling me when to code and from what desk to do it.

The only thing that makes me want to code is to creatively express myself. I no longer accept compromise beyond creative limitations i myself put in place. (Really autistic-pedantic shit sometimes)

My current job description is an IT position that could not be further removed from coding in its description. It also doesn’t challenge me. I don’t want it too because now i often have spare free to “improve the functioning of the workplace” which i do by writing scripts and tools that fix common annoyances in our legacy software and save my coworkers plenty of time.

Or in house developer team (who have no time and are to distant from other day-to-day work have expressed confusion why someone like me wants to stay in my role rather then join them but i know i wont be able to continue my side projects and am just going to get assigned to expensive-big-ego-pet-project instead.

I also have plenty of code related projects at home, i lost motivation for those when i was a “real programmer”

What irony?

Lone-wolf attacks are a status quo and politically easy to manage/misdirect.

Organised change in the benefit of all people? What are you, a dirty communist? /s

The real irony is that you can tell what ideas are actually good and progressive by looking at the ones Trump&co does not like. It’s almost like there is no such thing as bad press.

Were in agreement about that.

Not sure whar your point is, unless your saying you will take him to jail personally and don’t require the rest of idiocratic society to do so. Good luck.

Its part nuance part friendly warning because your attempt to rally people is easy to be misunderstood.

In the first part you try to convince that ai will be capable of producing quality.

In the second part you try to rally against the threat of ai taking jobs but the people you just adressed don’t believe this is going to be a problem.

Fatal mistake.

There is a venn diagram of anti ai including both people who believe ai is incapable of producing value and people who believe it will take their jobs,

But they do not mix nor understand how the other exists.

I am very concerned. The average person seems scared to make realistic conclusion based on very observable information, almost requiring a perceived authority to first point out the obvious in order to see the problem to begin with.

Still we should keep trying to push to get as “official” proof as we can get, if not because it helps barring against bad actors who are trying to discredit reason but also because for some reason the fascist is particularly more upset about this then other things. If he had any ability to keep himself together and coordinate with intelligence he could have swept this under a rug much easier.

Subjectively i have little doubt this is true. And my faith for legal institutions to do what is right is rather low.

That said, has it been legally proven in court that he raped (a child)?

I dont need evidence for me, i need it for when i talk to other people and they ask about such evidence. Regardless of how obvious it is the norm remains innocent till proven guilty.

Reality is not a stage. Real world actions have real consequences.

Even if it is a character, he thinks playing it out in real life is an acceptable thing to do and does it. If you express facism you are a fascist. Same bad.

A narrow focus on mars at all cost says much more about the other parts of his narcissism and general intelligence.

Is there a centralised rule controlling organization (state) Does that organisation have a monopoly on violence?

If yes, that organisation/state is authoritarian. People have to abide to their will and dissenting to hard will be punished.

Your example is about physical goods.

Software is at its core just digital information a computer can use.

Knowledge/Information (that is not personal information) should be free.

You can make a argument that software developers still must sell copies of their code to make a living but if you look at the reality of software that appears to simply be some kind of bias. You can make software that is free and still make a living they are just not always related.

The software that runs the world’s infrastructure is increasingly FOSS, from critical cybersecurity to vending machines. Even big corporations are increasingly getting involved in using and making open source components for their proprietary fronts.

As a linux user everything i need can be done legally with free software, not only is it free is most of the times vastly superior then a paid product.

Ever needed software on windows to find the installer got bundled with spyware and then the final program turns out to be a trial before Requiring a subscription? That is only because they need to make money.

On linux, you install it, it’s only the thing you actually need, and it works. No bloat, no enshitification. Some person or group realized there was value to be created, created it and as a result the entire world won collectively.

I have a few products of my own that i hope to publish some day and i already vouched to never make them proprietary, My dad called me insane not to try to profit. I call it nothing but ethical to make the best value for humanity that i can. My very common office job provides enough liveable wage and work/life balance for my family and still find time to do such.

Is that really considered hardcore?

I follow some local news and i have a list of video content creators i download with a script but other then that its just the Lemmy verse for me.

I know this is beyond the scope of your question but you are at a very similar place like i was over a year ago.

For the reverse proxy you want ingnx manager and it will handle all of your reverse proxies just fine.

But what i really want to recommend is to change up that debian into proxmox,

Proxmox is a debian based efficient server OS. Basically every service you run now can Easily be run as its own isolated container with very little overhang.

Best of all there is a community for Helper script that will install entire services including Nginx but even nextcloud from a single command.

https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=nginxproxymanager

I highly recommend you try proxmox to get the most potential out of you system. Basically can run many services and vm with little overhead, dynamically sharing the specs.

Now about those specs… what everybody else said really but heres some pointers:

You don’t need a big dedicated gpu unless your doing something that explicitly demands it. They are tricky to setup with virtual machines also.

If you plan on running a minecraft server i recommend at least 8gb ram. Anything else will probably run fine on 4. You can probably run quite a few things on 8gb but ram is cheap and its nice to have some extra room.

For cpu, the more things you do the More sense it makes to have more cores. If you plan on buying then amd ryzen x y z is you best option where.

X is the number you want higher Y is a number you should not care about as much Z is potentialy the letter “G” for graphics, they are often more expensive. Get them anyway because now you dont need a dedicated gpu (and even if you already own a gpu. Trust me you will thank me if that one ever has issues)

If you really want me to draw you something decent up that will give you plenty of freedom to experiment.

Ryzen 7 … G, 32gb ram. Small ssd for os. xTB of performence HDD ideally configured as some raid in proxmox.

It still cannot be said often enough that a (well cared for) second hand unlabeled laptop running ubuntu is all what most people need when they start pondering about home servers.

Not sure either but one of the important chances is that Dash (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) is being replaced with a newer system on YouTube.

There are some good innovations in the replacement but its much harder to implement.
