  • So if I look at a painting study it and then emulate the original painter's artstyle, then I'm in breach of their copyright?

    Or if I read a lot of fantasy like GRRM or JK Rowling and I also write a fantasy book and say, that they were my Inspiration, I'm breaching their copyright??

    That's not how it works, and if it is, it shouldn't be!

    Sure, if a start reproducing work, i.e. plagiarizing the work of others, then I'm doing sth wrong.

    And to spin this further: If I raise a child on children's books by a specific author, am I breaching copyright, when my child enters the workforce and starts to earn money???? Stupid, yes! But so are the copyright claims against LLMs, in my opinion.

  • Do NOT self-host email! In the long run, you'll forget a security patch, someone breaches your server, blasts out spam and you'll end up on every blacklist imaginable with your domain and server.

    Buy a domain, DON'T use GoDaddy, they are bastards. I'd suggest OVH for European domains or Cloudflare for international ones.

    After you have your domain, register with "Microsoft 365" or "Google Workspace" (I'd avoid Google, they don't have a stable offering) or any other E-Mail-Provider that allows custom domains.

    Follow their instructions on how to connect your domain to their service (a few MX and TXT records usually suffice) and you're done.

    After that, you can spin up a VPS and try out new stuff and connect it also to your domain (A and CNAMR records).

  • Media Server? No content backup at all.

    If you lose everything, just download new stuff you want to watch, or redownload a few TV series/movies.

    Music? There are streaming services.

    Only backup configurations and maybe application data, so that the reinstall will be easy. Those few kB/MB could sit anywhere. I'm using GitLab for this purpose.

    Edit: Images! If you have your photos on there, back them up! They can't be replaced!

  • I have had this issue for about a year, while trying different monitoring and logging solutions to try and find out what's going on.

    This was such a bitch! Now I'm spreading the word, so that other won't suffer as long as I have.

  • Do you run your PiHole on top of Docker? There's an issue with docker and Raspberry Pis which makes the network crap out periodically. So if your PuHole becomes unavailable until you restart your Pi it might be this:

    Solution is to add "denyinterfaces veth*" to the dhcpd.conf

  • How is a AirBnB "guest" a tenant at all? WTF? Think about hotels: What would a hotel do, if you overstayed? They'd lock you out and flip you the bird.

    How is it not possible to just call the police because of trespassing?

  • Yes! I have read OPs comment and just thought to myself: "No filter, either 0% or 100% engagement, nothing in-between... sounds like ADHD"

    OP, get yourself checked out, there's medication that helps you dialing down your "participation". You always go full throttle, and these pills probably help to find those "thottle values" between all-the-way and isolation.

  • LOL

    I'm not sure why it's a hassle?

    Continues to explain how it is a hassle (syncthing, fork, raspberry pi, ...)

    Btw. there's pretty good autotype for Bitwarden/Valutwarden and I find it at least on par with the KeePass feature. You don't even need to install the full blown client for it to work! https://github.com/anonymous1184/bitwarden-autotype

  • And furthermore: Most of these shitty apps are nothing more than overblown API clients. Which means they didn't want to build a website and operate a webserver, so instead you provide the processing power for the UI yourself. These apps usually can't do anything on their own, if you are offline, becaue all the value is generated remotely by the actual server.

    The modern software experience sucks much!

  • "claw back the raises"??

    What? How? At least in my country an employer cannot unilaterally worsen a contract for the employee. You don't have to agree to less pay and they'll be bound by the original agreement. Sure an employer could "fire and rehire" you, but you also don't have to agree to the rehiring.

    If they do that you'll get full unemployment, probably some severance and they are instantly a worker short.
