I saw a few people saying they wish they could get away from Google drive&docs but didn't feel they were up to the task of self-hosting their own Nextcloud and doesn't want to pay to run an entire instance just for them.

Message me and I can give you an account on my server (hosted in the US).

I have been hosting a Nextcloud instance for a few years for just my family, my friends, and I have more than enough headroom for a few more people. It will literally cost me nothing more to allow it.

pointless image generation AI rant 

The various image generation AIs don't bug me philosophically...but their use to create inoffensive and meaningless filler images for blog posts has really betrayed just how little people care about the details of what they create.

Your thing can be art or craft or engineering or education or free expression or whatever you want it to be...but care enough to have a vision for it. The internet needs more YOU, not more shallow temporary content.

New theme for Wikipedia got deployed that artificially limits the text width on pages, and you have to press a button on every page load to turn it off.

Thanks guys.

There's good and bad stuff about wikipedia but one bright spot is that they've kept this joke running on the "list of cetaceans" article for at least 10 years

Y'know, I'm still not completely sold on the viability of this quasi-platform but having attained over 10% of my Twitter following in just a few weeks sure does point to a shift.

yesterday @harriet was telling me about how if a dwarf gets crushed by an opening drawbridge in dwarf fortress it hammers down on it so hard that the dwarf gets deleted from the fucking game

@kevlin @cwebber described ChatGPT as Mansplaining As A Service, and honestly I can’t think of a better description. A service that instantly generates vaguely plausible sounding yet totally fabricated and baseless lectures at an instant with unflagging confidence in it’s own correctness on any topic, without concern, regard or awareness even of the level of expertise of it’s audience.

I've just seen so many people say they wish they could switch to something not corporately owned, but that they don't have the technical knowledge or resources to do it themselves and I figure I might be able to help, even if it's just for a few people. I'm going to be running the server for myself and my family anyways, so it really does cost me nothing meaningfully extra to let other people use it.

I'll also play IT support if you need help with that too.

The server is just a home-server hosted in the corner of my living room, but I've never had any problems with it and the performance has been great. As for how much space you'll get? IDK, like 100 GB or something, we'll figure something out if you need more than that. For security assurances is all I can say is that all of my personal information is stored on the same Nextcloud that you'll be using.

I have just seen a tweet saying of mastodon "The culture of the current user base is incredibly self-important and big serious. It’s much closer to linkedIn than twitter"

and like, lol, lmao.

Testing testing is this thing on? Will I get banned if I make an Elon musk joke?
