Today I started my self hosting journey (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So today after almost a year of learning what self hosting and what a nas and raid configuration was, I was to get a used hp prodesk 600 g6 mini and install zimaos on it. Zimaos really made things a lot simpler than I thought it was going to be. I was easily able to install portainer and immich and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.

I’ve actually made a goal now to use this for me to get used to it and since I already have a list of what I would like to self hosting for my parents as well as for myself, I’m going to take this as an opportunity to try to set everything up so I’m comfortable with it and when I’m ready to buy a nas for my parents and set it up for them, it won’t be hard. I will also learn how to do remote access and how to do it safely and maybe even try out different nas os to see which one I’m comfortable/like more.

Anyway I just wanted to say that I’m happy to be deep diving and this and can’t wait to learn and host more!!

Thank you, I didn’t want to break things so I made sure to do some research but I was finally able to pull the trigger and it will definitely pay off.

Now down to business, I actually like Ai when used correctly and privately. I see it as a tool for specific jobs but not made to be shoved down our throats every single chance companies get

I would concur: 'When used correctly'.

You'll get a mixed reactive crew here. Probably 70% pro/30% con with the 30% quite vocal that they shadow the 70% at times. Pay no attention to the grumps or their down votes. LOL

@irmadlad @Confining
For you to be able to use it correctly and privately, it has to be create, develop and train with everything the want, legal or not, correctly or not ...... so yes, keep using it, but there's no way that shit could be correct, ever!!!
