ok, but what about the selling point for recruitment firms that “you don’t need to pay $190 a month to unlock Sales Navigator Advanced for each of your recruiters”? or is that perhaps a feature, sorting out the weeds who can’t afford the monthly fee?

Will do, thanks!

My experience with Matrix is that the federation itself is a deal breaker. I have a pretty beefy server and good connection which was getting ddosed by running Matrix and timing out on so many requests for avatars/profiles etc. Maybe I did something wrong, but the whole experience rendered me quite skeptical to the viability of it as a federated chat.

That said I’ve had nothing but good experiences using it with big servers set up by pros.

Right, and picking an instance is kinda same guidelines as any fediverse. Find something focused on your main interest of decent size and you’ll be able to get things from most other places too?

Just out of curiosity, as a person who doesn’t make any videos myself and don’t know anyone who does, is there any use to hosting my own peertube instance? Mostly curious because it seems quite popular to self-host so there might be some killer feature I’m overlooking.

Swede here, see no issue with the name. I’ll just ignore the h when pronouncing though.

I’ve been happy with Fastmail for 10 years, though they’re Australian and not European. Might look into a European alternative at some point but so far I’ve had no reason to switch.

Kinda seems like a huge mistake to devaluate nvidia because of deepseek. Deepseek has proven that LLMs can be run much more cheaply than previously thought, the nvidia cards can now do much more than previously thought possible. What am I missing?

Isn’t this kinda what the controversy around the ElastiSearch licensing change was about? I think people have had similar frustrations with HashiCorp software, but I don’t know the details.

Oh, I thought only cats did that!

Since 2024

For private use? Hot take, but Arch. It’s easy to maintain and not easy to break at all. I think I spend zero time on maintenance other than running package updates. I only reinstall when I get a new computer.

(I say for private use only because you’ll be getting weird looks from people if you use arch on a server in a professional setting, and it might break if you try to update it after five years of not doing it since there aren’t any “releases” to group big changes - in practice I run arch on my home server too with no issues)

Is immich in a usable state yet? I was looking for a self-hosted image service a while back, but eventually I just went with pigallery2 mostly due to the extremely simple file storage (just point to a folder and you’re good to go), but I do miss being able to manage images/albums from the website and having a more mobile friendly version. I kind of avoided immich due to the repo saying it’s under very active development (#scary).
