Not for everyone, but they are aiming at increasing hardware ownership costs so more people can’t afford local AI

OpenAI/Anthropic is incentivized to prevent this.

They are also big enough and unregulated enough that they could use their power & political/industry relationships to drive up the price of local AI ownership (RAM, GPUs, etc)

May go the Gentoo route. majority of my friends use that as their primary os. peer pressure + compiling your OS is fun

Sounds like a scare tactic. This will only embolden the community.

The company behind os level age verification is Meta: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

You can use Netbird reverse proxy to connect your domain to any device on your mesh. Netbird cloud supports the reverseproxy too now if you don’t want to self host netbird on a VPS.

You can use Netbird cloud’s reverseproxy to point your domain to a device on your wireguard mesh.

That way your home server can be under 3x NATs and dynamic IP and you’ll still be fine.

Later if you want to own the netbird you can self host it on a VPS if you’re willing to migrate all devices to your self hosted wireguard mesh.

That’s why my side project energy has been focused on making decentralized solutions infrastructure more appliance-like reliability and boring. So app environment on top can have as close to equivalent advantage as centralized solutions.

Sounds awesome! No rush, I’m a big believer in taking the time to do it right, not twice.

Just wanted to let you know that I find value in that + feel like it could help adoption especially in the self hosting community.

Would I be able to sign into multiple servers simultaneously? In case I have 2 friends hosting this on their own separate servers?

I care about that more than federation.

There’s also netbird which has reverseproxy setup options recently in addition to the wireguard mesh.

Self host on a VPS

Do you want database features? Or just markdown style note organization?

Managed to get a matrix server up + a web client frontend hosted on same site for friend group .

3 container docker compose: continuwuity, tunnel, premade Cinny image with nginx serving frontend.

Great if you don’t care about voice, but if you do then you’ll need to host a TURN server on a VPS and connect home server to that.
