Yes, add to the third panel ordering food by phone call, going to the store when you want every small thing, buying your groceries in person, stopping taxis on the street, no file sharing, etc., etc.

Those things can feasibly be better. I pay the delivery human with anonymous cash once I've got my order. The store has my stuff ready to go right now. The taxi is right here and they're unionized.

Can't dispute file sharing though, analog copies suck.

I really like the blog and videos of Reject Convenience, he actually does something similar with his own life.

I like this. It’s kind of the same vein as “we like being comfortable.” That’s the main issue. Until we aren’t comfortable nothing will change.

I drive a pre-online car I can fix with the help of a friend, PC is Linux mint, laptop is Mac but highly restricted. My android device is silent, my iPhone is used for work only. My music is ripped and downloaded.

Cut out Spotify for Navidrome

Cut out Netflix for Jellyfin

Keep it all secure and accessible with Wireguard

All of the above solutions are free.

Run all of the above in docker on any old laptop. An llm can provide instructions.

I use Jellyfin for music and shows. Jellyfin made it easier for me to sort the ripped CDs by directory instead of all in one shared Dir.

Also, telling people to use an LLM to figure out how to self host is like telling a 16yo to play GTA to learn how to drive.

They might figure it out, they may just kill hookers and rob a bank without ever learning how to drive the car.

Here's a full guide by the FUTO organization that consists of over 13 hours of information on self hosting and how to do it step by step.

"Telling people to use an LLM to figure out how to X is like telling a 16yo to play GTA to learn how to drive" is my new catchphrase, thanks internet person (I presume person, could be mistaken....)

There is self hosting and there is self hosting.

I run a proxmox machine with a dozen services but just looking at a guide like you send is overloading.

I will save it as a useful reference but its beyond what people who are less tech inclined then me will need to start.

Most people just need docker and some premade compose files. An llm can absolutely tell you how to install the first and create the second. People will know quickly if they want to learn more on their own or prefer to call a friendly nerd to do it for them.

If they're less tech inclined they should use YUNOHOST. Its a Debian based distro thats been around for years. They've got preconfigured packages and everything is done via the webUI. Theres no reason to involve an LLM that frequently gives outdated and bad information.
