Minneapolis is very successfully demonstrating that this is not infeasible.

I don't understand the value proposition. It “works great for local models” (they all do) so you’ve got more RAM than you possibly need for any TUI you might want to run. Are people really fretting over a few MB of memory rather than evaluating these tools on their ergonomics and features?

It kind of doesn’t make sense. Modern google is typically kind of bad at building products and very good at getting them in customer hands. This is the opposite of that.

I had to google how the hell you even use these. Apparently “antigravity” is their suite of agentic products and Gemini CLI is dead and it’s the same situation where a google AI plus subscription is only useful inside the antigravity tools. No Pi/OpenCode support at all.

Whatever. Pass.

> 45% of AI decision-makers state that investments must yield a positive return within one year to be considered successful.

In other words, “Layoffs soon probably”

Probably very little. Herdr’s plugin system is quite limited and immature compared to something like Pi. I love herdr and use it daily but it has its limits.

Nice to see people experimenting. I’m not really an early adopter but hopefully the good ideas get picked up by herdr

That comment invariably comes up because for most people it’s the objectively correct and most well supported option. If you’re asking redditors how to deploy something, you’re precisely the person docker is for.

If you’re curious about FreshRSS please also evaluate miniflux. A fraction of the resource consumption and a better overall experience IMO.

Miniflux homepage really undersells it.

New comment by eleventen in "What I self-host"

> Sonarr, Lidarr, Radarr, etc. Every time I read about setting it up, it just sounds like a resource-intensive mess that’s fundamentally prone to frequent breakage. That’s the opposite of what I’m looking for when choosing self-hosted services.

I just checked on my *arr stack. Sonarr and Radarr idle at 157MB and 159MB of memory and approximately no CPU. Jellyfin currently idles at 330MB. I'm not sure where you got this impression from. I grant these tools are complicated and have somewhat clumsy UX, but they aren't especially heavy to run and are not fragile.

OP, point your :robot: at https://github.com/subdavis/selfhosted/blob/main/docker-comp... and ask for an explanation. It's a single compose file that illustrates how the *arrs, transmission, and jellyfin all work together. I'm sure you can set it up :)

Jensen is wish-casting as hard as anyone has ever casted a wish. That EK show interview made me throw my phone.

He’s a Pro-AI ideologue who engages in the same motivated reasoning he complains about others using. His piece on heat island effects fell over under scrutiny because he just doesn’t have the analytical background to actually do these investigations.

There is sometimes incorrect conflation between what the datacenter is permitted for and what the datacenter actually draws.

> Many articles about current or future AI data centers report the number in the water permit they apply for as the amount of water they actually use day to day. But this almost never happens. [1]

This is from the problematic and often wrong but in this case correct Andy Masley. It's not completely clear to me whether this number is observed usage or a theoretical permitted maximum, in which case the actual usage could be even lower. It could be either.

You can think two thoughts at once. I am also a happy cloudflare customer who likes some of their DNS and worker products. But this is in poor taste and deserves the negative reaction.

What is the strict definition of arbitrary you feel we haven’t reached? Right now the limit is scale and complexity, not domain or “type” of application.

Why is this flagged. It’s interesting, well written, and on topic (AI Safety Sex Cult etc.)

Should people who missed out on formative life experiences all simply accept this? Decide they don’t deserve spiritual nourishment and trudge on with their mediocre lives? Self-actualize in a way you personally would find less cringe? We all get one spin, man.

Even if you’re right, Burning Man strikes me a symptom of a sick and hollow “normal” society.

If everyone loses their jobs there will be no demand for the products and services those workers used to create.

A perfect ouroboros.

That was totally unacceptable behavior. I support the choice to take down a video depicting blatant sexual harassment of its employees. I also support launching meta into the sun.

In the short term you're probably right. But after a couple of years, complacency will take over and more and more decision making will get ofloaded. I don't think it's out of the question before 2030.
