you hear that said about AI because companies are desperately throwing more and more resources at it to get 0.3% better results, and people are collectively running an insane amount of prompts all the time.

but on a personal level it’s not really any different from any other computations, people render videos all the time and no one complains about the resource usage from that, because companies aren’t trying to sell bloated video rendering services to gardening businesses.

it’s unclear what the shared secret is.

it’s actually just literally any string you want, but they should tell you that fact in the same paragraph as when it’s relevant…

funnily there’s an… ansible i think? project that makes selfhosting synapse easy as fuck, you basically just go “ansible deploy synapse” or whatever the syntax is and it does almost everything for you.

the documentation is just missing clearly stating that fact, though from what i recall i think that might be said in the config file?

i’m sorry but are you commenting this for any reason other than to make yourself feel better about owning a car? i see people doing this all the time and i don’t get what other reason there would be to bring it up as the immediate response to comments about going car-free

yes, obviously you can’t live without a car if you need the car to live! but millions and millions of people would actively enjoy life more without a car.

this is why i don’t own a car

“COMPUTER, TURN OFF THAT NOISE” is obligatory, i feel

It’s the same shit as working tech support, no one EVER reads manuals or does standard troubleshooting, they instantly jump to asking people for help which forces them to just read out the manual and troubleshooting steps first instead of actually helping those who need help…

If people could learn to take care of the fundamentals themselves and only ask for help when actually needed, everyone would be better off.

It’s perfectly adequate, i tolerate it.

this is doxxing and i’m willing to sue
