That's what "self hosted" usually means.

The only thing that will be different for most is vendor lock-in will be to LLM vendors.

Some note-taking apps can already do this. Samsung note devices are decent at it.

Any user ever posting URLs should never ever be removed. The Web should be allowed to exist. This is utterly despicable behavior.

Colcannon can keep you going forever.

What model truck do you have?

Yes, #1 really is that bad. Especially for _small_ children.

My first thought was of The Luggage! GNU, Sir Terry.

I usually just use SMB shares within my LAN. It serves my modest needs. I have used WebDAV or FTP in the past. Depends on the specific use. Away from home, VPN is essential. Too risky to just forward ports these days.

This is why I really wish Samsung did Android ereaders.

Most CMS/blog apps have it built in. You might need to look up how to enable it (Drupal) or you might already have it enabled, even if you don't realize it (Wordpress). Check the documentation for your blogging/site content framework of choice.

If you're super old school and do an actual manual HTML site, just create the RSS file and add entries to it, then link to it. This is well documented and not in any way complex. It's just a text file, after all.

WHOA! This is shocking ignorance for an HN user. RSS still exists for most of the web if you can be bothered to use it. It just isn't in your face anymore. I consume a lot of content through RSS to this day. You also don't need to look at those email adverts if you can be bothered to use real email apps. It's your choice to soak yourself in the dumbed down garbage interfaces.

...and you will not know if the answer is accurate or where it came from.

The easy solution is to just not enable comments. Nobody has an account on my site but me. I'm endangering nobody's data but mine. No worries.

The current moment is great if you never need to find an old book, fix an old car, fix an old house, identify an old variety of plant, or any of a thousand other things. Basically, if you have no other interests, responsibilities, or desires other than fads, like a child. That's fine. Otherwise, there are decades of useful experience of large groups of human out there to be mined. It can often save you thousands of dollars, but then again, that's something only a grown-up cares about.

Nobody is owed validation. We want it, but we are not owed it. Learning to cope with that desire is one of the chief signs of maturity and wisdom.

...these things still exist. They are not surfaced by search engines, because they are too small, and no companies are paying the search engines to do so. Most people stay inside their social network bubbles and never look at regular websites outside them.

You're an idiot who doesn't understand that primary sources trump other citations.

Why should anyone believe you, who is a third party on these things over the first-party primary sources? The primary sources disagree with you, and any Historian or Journalist worth their salt should value primary sources more.

A quarter of an acre of trees is a "forest"? Whoa. As someone who grew up amidst a thousand miles of trees, I shall be laughing for a week to myself over such an idea.

But before that, forums existed that let you subscribe to threads in your forum account. It's just that the mundane masses used them a little less than the geeky folk. All Reddit added was stealing the upvote/downvote thing from Slashdot and Digg.

I had one like this (Toshiba), and I did the initial setup, then blocked it at my router from ever accessing the Internet again. Next TV purchase was a different brand (TCL) that didn't require such stupidity.

Install uBlock Origin on Firefox for him. Educate him not to click ads. Ever. If you emphasize long enough that clicking an ad can lose him his bank account and entire identity, it can sink in. I've spent years on this with my parents. "Yes, Dad, YouTube is out to get you, because they want money from advertisers, and they are happily selling your safety to advertisers."

In the first study:

"In a secondary analysis, when coronary artery disease was added to the investigation, the risk of heart failure dropped from 34% to 27%, suggesting that coronary artery disease is a pathway through which daily marijuana use may lead to heart failure."

and

"A limitation of the study is that it relied on data that did not specify whether the marijuana was inhaled or eaten. According to researchers, how marijuana is ingested may influence cardiovascular outcomes."

The second study is _only_ looking at "existing cardiovascular risk factors (high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol)", so people who already have these risk factors who then _also_ use cannabis.

and

"A limitation of the analysis is that the data is from a large database, which may have coding errors in the patients’ health records. In addition, the electronic health record code for cannabis use disorder may vary from hospital to hospital, thereby skewing the results of the analysis."

But not for method of cannabis ingestion: smoking? eating? vaping? This isn't included and might make a huge difference.

...and they will not keep my data in any sort of database to be hacked some day?

HEVC is great for giving you quality in a smaller file size, for your local video files (due to being supported by more cameras and phones so far). AV1 has wider support for streaming video online at a higher quality (due to more browser support so far). So, at the moment, they are really best in two different use cases (subject to change, of course).

It is absolutely cultural. For example, most Historians believe that while certain times of the year were packed with grueling hard work, the average medieval farm worker had absolute hordes of time off compared to the average modern worker. When the work was done, it was done. You weren't useless if you were relaxing in the down times, even large blocks of down time, and since their culture was based around seasonality, it wasn't looked down upon.

Very different from modern corporate work culture, where you must appear to be working all the time, even if there's no work of value to do at a given time, and even if you worked day and night last month on a crunch project.

Very much cultural.

This is a brilliant example of someone who is so indoctrinated that they don't even realize it.
