Skirting the edge of self hosting, I was faced with this question last month. I ended up with a Ubiquity UCG Ultra. It has all the network management tools on-board and for the first time in a long time I can manage my network from anywhere on the planet.

Access can be via a web UI, or an app.

I now write a date on them, so when I next lay eyes on it, I can decide if enough time has passed.

I recently returned an item purchased four years ago in its original packaging. No doubt I’ll milk that experience for the next 20 years to justify my box hoarding 😇

I wonder if there’s other “offensive” terms we can find to highlight the absurdity and offensive nature of this action.

Teddy is the name of lingerie, so Teddy Roosevelt needs to be wiped out of history.

I’m sure there’s others …

Well a jailbroken device is “open”, and the exploit has been well documented, so as a user and developer of open source software for several decades and knowing just how poorly open source software is generally documented I thought I’d make a little joke.

Of course, this is the internet and not everyone has the same sense of humour.

In other words, it’s a joke … laugh.

There’s going to be a perfectly reasonable explanation for this … right?

Whatcha doin '?

If you open your CPU up to a jailbreak by being a dumkopf, does that really count as Open Source?

You’ll know when it hits mainstream when it’s referred to on the nightly news and every media outlet is running at least an account for each program, but hopefully an instance for each organisation.

We’re nowhere near that.

The boundary of where to host what, is not fixed. You cannot host the internet at home. Where people sit on the spectrum varies depending on skill, resources and need.

I highlighted several options that provide a solution for someone with limited skills and resources.

You could host a CALDAV server or a next cloud at home and use the suggestions I provided, or you could use those hosted by someone else.

My answer was to provide ideas, not a how-to guide, answering, in my opinion, exactly what OP was looking for.

That it doesn’t match your idea about solving the problem tells you that there are many ways to solve software problems. My suggestions had a low barrier to entry.

What’s your recommendation for OP?

Or women.

Or transgender.

Or heathens.

Or poor.

Or disabled.

The list is essentially anyone who is not a Christian white cis male.

We’re going to need lots of popcorn.

Google Sheets will be a simple solution you can do for free.

The app “Track & Graph” is another.

I have been logging all my medical events using Tasker and a Google Calendar. Analysis is manual using graphviz.

Absolutely.

Except not in this timeline.

Here it’s all about ChatGPT, nothing about neural networks, nothing about machine learning, or about what we used to call expert systems.

You do realise that the journalists around us don’t sit still long enough to make the distinction, and I can guarantee that the Orange has a shorter attention span than a goldfish. The general public has no clue at all.

Hopefully ChatGPT et. al. will choke on their own input shortly, take all the trillions of investment dollars into the sewer and cause a few CEO’s to suddenly discover the meaning of Defenestration.

… dreaming is fun …

On a positive note, something we, as-in science, got from this whole kerfuffle is back propagation, which for the first time gave us the ability to (partially) solve until now unsolvable multivariate problems.

Hopefully more will come of that before the LLM in charge pushes the big red button into oblivion.

What could possibly go wrong … though to be fair, the current crop of LLM are evidently smarter than the Orange running the country at the moment … even including typical LLM hallucinations.

Accurate, except the bottom right panel only happens in very limited circumstances, hardly ever after a year has passed.

Excuses used by your home insurance, for one point … go:

How do you think that the internet works?

How do you propose to connect such a mesh in New York to New Jersey, or Chicago, Los Angeles, or Sydney?

Also perfectly fine: No tie at all.

I get that WhatsApp is not a platform to use if you care about your privacy, but WTF is “Delta Chat” and why would I switch to it rather than say Signal?
