    I’ve lost all motivation to continue any sort of self-hosting. AI/LLM has crept into every corner of the internet. It’s killed the community vibe I once grew up with. There’s a certain lifelessness with these projects and the internet as a whole that’s hard to describe but it’s just not fun anymore.

    I’m in the progress of changing my hobby to be more offline. Writing my own code for my own purpose and entertainment. I’ll still host my code on Codeberg. Codeberg, this Lemmy account and that one bash focused discord server will be my entire online presence going forward. Whatever happens, happens and I won’t feel a loss about losing access to any of those things.

    Capitalism and the forces that promote or enable capitalism just exploits everything until there is no life, fun or joy left…

      It’s interesting I have the exact opposite perspective with AI in regards to selfhosting.

      The customizability is now endless for me, I can do anything, customize anything, problems that are typically 1-2 hours are fixed in <5 minutes.

      Don’t want to fiddle w/ a GUI? Shoot off a message and it’s done.

      What has that got to do with it? I’m still going to run stuff on my own hardware regardless of what AI companies are doing.

      This is me with game mods. Can’t fucking find one mod that isn’t slop code, slop images, slop description.
