I switched to Chicory because I do the same :) Just a regular ceramic cup that I reuse though.

Is there some way to self host what cloudflare does?

Your domain will always have to be rented through a 3rd party. Cloudflare is (or was?) one of the better choices for that.

Cloudflare does other things as well, most notably it can acts as a proxy: an inbetween between your server and the users. This inbetween can be useful against DOS attacks, blocking of bots, etc. But for most self hosters that part is not necessary. It’s a toggle in cloudflare’s DNS dashboard: I think you’d want it to say DNS only.

Another thing cloudflare can do is tunneling. It’s useful for when your server is behind a firewall or NAT or double NAT you can’t or don’t want to configure. You’d probably know if you use this, so I assume you don’t?

Is there any meta analysis on these major outages?

They seem to be occuring more and more regularly.

Do they also think we’re strange? Keeping food as if they’re pets?

Time to quit quitting!

Hmm. Should be the other way around?

Can just send your family to work. If you’re alone that option isn’t available.

Depending on 3rd parties is a pain in the ass

Awesome selfhosted lists https://github.com/heyform/heyform as a possibility.

It’s a non-story the same way a car crash is a non-story. It’s tremendously dangerous and majorly fucks up people’s lives.

But it’s nothing unique nor novel, a non-story.

What are you on about? They’re non-stories. Every day a kid eats coins.

So I wonder where the coordination on these non-stories comes from.

Oh yes. But chinese platforms are not unique with that problem. Nor is it a novel development.

So I wonder why now it’s being pushed as a news story accross the western world. The agenda why it’s now “news”, despite it not being novel or unique.

What’s this coordinated manufacturing of consent around Chinese import?

Here in EU the exact same articles are being written.

World wide web will be gone in a few years. Governments around the world want a monopoly on propagandizing their subjects.

“For the children” is the apologia for installing the required technologies.

if a tool exists which can easily and reliably detect AI generated content then they’d just be using that tool for their training

Generative Adversarial Networks are an example of that idea in action.

One of these projects might be of interest to you:

Do note that CPU inference is quite a lot slower than GPU or the well known SAAS providers. I currently like the quantized deepseek models as the best balance between quality of replies and inference time when not using GPU.

I’ve worked with bookstack. Found it easy and intuitive. It’s wiki software not specific to family history.

I think it depends on the rate of change, rather than the amount of containers.

At home I do things manually as things change maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

Professionally I usually do setup automated devops because updates and deployments happen almost daily.

At one of my clients, who wants everything on-prem, I use gitlab CI with ansible. It took 3 days to setup, and requires thinkering. But all in all, I like the versitility, consistency and transparency of this approach.

If I’d start over again, I’d use pyinfra instead of ansible, but that’s a minor difference.

Don’t threaten me with a good time
