@notthebee oh man that's so sad :( People forget that even if you have an army of builders it still takes rules, good practices, good processes, maintenance and security planning, upfront thinking, ideation and validation, etc. to build a city.

@notthebee@tilde.zone I wish it were different. Homelabbing is such a nice way to learn about things. :neocat_sad:

@notthebee Dang, readings this hurts, because you are part of my inspiration for my homelab. But I understand the frustration. I constantly hope that the projects I have in use don't get overrun by slop :(

@notthebee I FEEL this. It's actually why I started my website. I wanted a space that was completely free from AI slop and where what I posted was appreciated by real people and not bots and trolls.

@notthebee if someone had told me five years ago when I got into Linux & selfhosting what this space would (d)evolve to due to the rise of LLMs, I would have probably laughed it off...and here we are :/ it's just *everywhere*, no matter where you look

@notthebee sorry man. I have so many problems with LLMs that losing passion wouldn't even break the top 10, but yet it probably hurts the most. Maybe we should move into self hosted knitting?

@notthebee I‘ve been very active for a few years on r/selfhosted and r/datahoarder but that ended quite some time before the age of slop From what I remember, this could very well be a bubble that concentrates on Reddit. I‘d be genuinely curious if the accounts posting about that are new, and if not, how large the percentage of „old“/„established“ is I got a lot of ideas and help from there back when I started and hearing what you say makes me kinda sad tbh. I really hope this is a bubble that bursts sooner rather than later and people come to their senses

@notthebee “I built…” very quickly got added to my mental list of words that makes me skip a post altogether. And also reinforced my desire to write a client that can essentially “grep -v” those kind of posts :)

@notthebee I relate to this feeling.

@notthebee This is where I'm at. Not sure what I'm going to do other than go into a pure 'maintenance mode' on home labbing stuff and focus on other projects and tech stacks, stuff not focused on computers and software.

@notthebee I'm sorry to read that :/ A certain "Wolfgang" once sparked my passion for self hosting! And I feel guilty for asking a chatbot for help when I was fed up with overcomplicated manuals.

@notthebee when you have something to share, we'll be here ready for you. I'm only on here for yourself, Niklas, Alex and Jeff. I have barely any time for being on Mastadon, zero time for discord, reddit, substack etc. But as I can say honestly, I value what you share.
