Try to contact the author (I’m not him).

How does it handle kernel updates? Can it do live patching?

Its not my project, but my reasoning was that the selfhosted version would give you the same features as premium. I didnt look into detail into it tbh.

He claims he was the main contributor, I think, not the author. Fair disctinction imo. I can see the drive to keep something alive if you contributed a lot to a project, especially if you know the codebase well and think its very much feasible in other environments.

I know, me too.

It’s not what I’d prefer they did, but to put this in perspective; I used to buy books on things like a local fair and such, but I talked to the book sellers and they told me that they have to throw so much away every year. So in the grand scheme of thinks, this was a spike in discarded books, but its nothing new. If everyone upset about it will buy a book this week;that will help much more.

The problem with ai isn’t this. It’s worse actually, but alas

Its a hosted tool and everything runs in the browser. It would be interesting to compare results because it could be that c++ is better suited for these kinds of operations.

For me this begs the question, why does this question always come up in selfhosted communities? ;)

For me I like self-hosted apps because I switch between desktop and laptop, and some tools are nice to have on a phone too. This way I pull it in-house, and can use it everywhere. Besides that, there are two other laptops in the house and if I am using those I have the same tools available as well. It its something I need to help the kids with, and they need to use it more often they too can use it regardless of device. Plus its one less thing to install when setting up a new device.

It’s not for work but self 😉 Honest mistake, I don’t know why or how.

Can someone remind him? ;)

Yeah yeah. For some people self hosting is a lot about pirating content :-) Just trying to make lemmy happen…

Not my content, but always interesting. Since the author always uses refs in his links I set this one to lemmy. Hopefully he’ll be posting on lemmy in the near future ;)
