    Yeah. And I get why people would want to create their own Internet infrastructure, both in terms of ownership of the data and service as well as being able to have more control as to how it runs.

    That said, while I am not a sysadmin nor a programmer, I do work in a computer reliant industry and I don’t see anywhere near the combination of technical competence and motivation to create your own server. If anything, I see people fight just to learn how to do basic things.

      this was my general experience as well before the last few years, I found it fascinating that once people had it in their heads to “figure it out” how quickly they really did… I have noticed a growing trend of people working hard to make it seem like all this is harder than it is either for basal marketing reasons or for others that I can only guess at. Its hard to quantify how damaging simply posting articles on topics without date/time stamps can be and that’s such a massive part of tech docs in this day and age its breathtaking.

      IMO we NEED LLMs to help cut through the bull. it REALLY is not as hard as people would have you believe, we make up words ,and sometimes because computers are dumb, we have to take more steps than you might think about normally.
