  • If you don’t plan on supporting this for at least a few years I would say no.

    If you don’t expect to have a decent local userbase I would say no (local in the sense of a common interest, e.g. it might be useful to host an instance for all members of even a small company if you expect a decent amount of posts).

    If it’s just you and your family (let’s be honest: it’s just you) I would say no.

    The fediverse can federate, but if everyone is using their own server it’s just a fancy peer to peer network.





  • While almost everyone here seems to hate AI (maybe for the wrong reason, but who am I to judge) I like to have AI as it is able to provide answers a simple search engine cannot.

    What I don’t see is hosting something like this myself. The managing of source and indexing them would take too much of my, my server’s and the web servers to be indexed energy (maybe I am wrong).

    There are already good solutions (OpenWebUI with Ollama) that can be tweaked to almost do what you’re describing and the AI models get better every month, so I don’t think a custom AI search engine could keep up with it.










  • Transport Tycoon was fantastic and thanks to OpenTTD I still play it from time to time.

    Gothic 2 is by far the best Action RPG of all time. Witcher 3 comes close, but still fails to surpass it in so many places.

    Banished always gets me with it’s atmosphere. It feels cozy but at the same time you are close to complete annihilation. Oxygen not included hits the same mark, but also has a distinctive art style and humor to it which I love.

    Stanley Parable (and it’s Deluxe edition) never fails to make me laugh. But it can get tedious sometimes…
