My opinions are my own.
Don’t really have a recommendation about which, but I do about how.
For repositories that I deem important, either for practical or nostalgia reasons, I use Gitea to keep an up to date clone. I believe most self hosted Git solutions offer a similar functionality, like Gitlab has one too that I’m aware of.
That’s a very good shout, I wasn’t aware there are pre existing lists. That’s a great step, and definitely one I will look to add to my own instance.
My worry is that these social media alternatives might get scraped by these AI companies as well.
Sure, a company handing it over is much easier (i.e. Reddit). But with the decentralized nature, everyone needs to protect their instances themselves, which I’m not sure how well everyone will be capable of doing that.
Definitely much more difficult, so it’s a step in the right direction.
This is the primary reason I’ve not given agents more power than something extremely controlled (I.e. only a function to turn on/off the lights). As I was always concerned that these generational models might accidentally do something dumb or annoying, let alone something that might be illegal or harmful.
I don’t really see how anyone would ask AI to complete something completely autonomously at this stage, without oversight.
First of all: take a breath!
Pihole is a great start, and an awesome piece of software. As self-hosting is quite broad, there are quite a few options, so I have two suggestions that should still be relatively simple to continue with, and that I thoroughly enjoyed when getting started.
Have fun! And if there is something more specific you’re curious about, feel free to ask 😀
I do not entirely agree.
While what you said might be true for content that we post, things like view history and tracking in itself is much more difficult. That meta data does help with tagging content.
