It’s mainly Linux Unplugged where that stuff leaks into it. I haven’t heard it on “self hosted” very much.

Yes, but only for 2.4 ghz since I live in a small apartment and there’s no benefit to high transmit power in those cases. 5 ghz is another story since it doesn’t penetrate walls easily anyway, so no harm to others.

I think there is some postprocessing but yeah it uses Bing. I simply meant that SearXG uses its results (and Bing too for that matter). So it’s layers all the way down.

I’ll add that it’s a meta-search engine rather than something that does the actual searching itself. That’s still useful, but you’re limited by the quality of the upstream search engines (including google, duckduckgo, qwant, etc).

The gain from self-hosting is that you have more control over the results, and can do things like redirect social media sites to privacy friendly alternatives, and create your own bangs (or even add your own custom search engines).

Probably not a massive privacy gain though, although if you host the instance behind a privacy VPN queries won’t be associated with your IP at least.

Calibre is used as a server all the time, see calibre-web.

calibre-web is technically not Calibre and is written and maintained by different people, although it does use the Calibre database (and I believe it must be created with desktop Calibre initially). But it’s a good option and I highly recommend it.

you just load your books from Calibre (or right through USB if you’re hardcore for some reason) and you’re basically off to the races.

There’s also an OPDS server option with calibre-web that you can use to load books from if you’re using koreader.

You can also use the Kobo server replacement option with calibre-web although I personally couldn’t get it to work at the time I tried it. But this will give you a sync option that works like the official Kobo server which is quite nice.

You can also set --accept-dns to false with the commandline client although magic DNS etc won’t work.

AMDGPU virtio native context is somewhat of an equivalent to the other options, although the pieces are not all available yet. Linux guest only as well.

And there’s Venus but that’s for Vulkan only (but a lot can be done with that alone on Linux guests).

Mailrise combined with an apprise notifier of your choice (I use gotify).

Quiet, I can’t hear the eggs!

And Oprah for platforming these grifters (among many others).

The other thing is that my libraries are alphabetical in Jellyfin, so “Anime” comes before “Kaiju”, and I truly can’t stand the idea that Godzilla gets sent to the back of the bus.

If you mean the order the libraries are listed in the web interface, you change that from “User settings” -> “Home”.

Plex is closed source and gradually being enshittified. You might not leave today, but you should have an exit plan.

One issue I could see is using it not as a second opinion, but the only opinion. That doesn’t mean this shouldn’t be pursued, but the incentives toward laziness and cost-cutting are obvious.

EDIT: One another potential issue is the AI detection being more accurate with certain groups (i.e. White Europeans), which could result in underdiagnosis in minority groups if the training data set doesn’t include sufficient data for those groups. I’m not sure if that’s likely with breast cancer detection, however.

There’s also calibre-web for a self-hosted option with a web interface.

btrbk works that way essentially. Takes read-only snapshots on a schedule, and uses btrfs send/receive to create backups.

There’s also snapraid-btrfs which uses snapshots to help minimise write hole issues with snapraid, by creating parity data from snapshots, rather than the raw filesystem.

Putin and Trump are best friends so you might expect Russia to follow. But perhaps Putin wants to show he’s the dominant one in said relationship.

Not the modern X.com to be clear; Musk just has a weird fetish for the letter X like an edgy teenager.

I’m not arguing in the slightest that FLAC shows an audible difference in most cases for most tracks. However, it just makes sense as an archival format given it’s lossless which means you can transcode to any other format without generational loss.

This means if there is a massive breakthrough in lossy compression in the future, I can use it for mobile purposes. If you store as lossy, you’re stuck with whatever losses have been incurred, forever.

Could be useful for web articles and scientific papers too (if it could be configured to ignore reading out all of the boiler plate and citations).
