  • Tldr - selfhosting is useful when:

    • you need a lot of storage

    • you need a lot of processing

    • you are collaborating with multiple people/family members

    • you are sharing media with other people outside your network

    • you are sharing media across devices

    • you want a standalone backup independent of your mobile device without doing so manually

    • you want more advanced AI features that are not feasible to do on device (such as image detection or live security camera object detection)

    • you want your home IOT devices to work locally without a cloud connection

    • you have old hardware collecting dust and want to put it to use

    • you like to make things

    Seems like you might have understood the purpose of those apps, you just didn’t personally have those needs yourself, and that’s fine







  • difference between the nonsense Trump pushed out and this

    Trump and his allies cited exactly the same kind of ‘anomalous voting trends’ as evidence of vote manipulation. Unless you have something more substantive than ‘these ballots don’t look like we expected them to’ then this is exactly the same kind of non-evidence MAGA had.

    The biden administration was exceptionally unpopular. Anti-Kamala democratic voters have been very clear about why they didn’t vote for her. Rather than reckoning with their complete unpopularity, democrats would rather blame their loss on ‘woke’ politics and vote manipulation.


  • After 4 years of liberals laughing away MAGA conspiracies about hacked voting machines in the 2020 election, suddenly those concerns are very serious and very real?

    I haven’t seen anything in the way of actual evidence something nefarious happened here, except some hefty speculation about split ticket voting and a couple vague (but entirely on-brand) comments from Trump.

    It’s just funny to me that liberals are unironically repeating the same baseless accusations that chuds were for the last 4 years without much more in the way of evidence (if any at all)
